      Hi, I want to know what Libertine is. I thought it was and app manager. I noticed I couldnt sort or remove apps on the home screen in UT. Maybe Libertine Ubuntu Classic Application Manager might allow this. I started the download and it took hours. Finally my battery drained and it interrupted. Is this an Ubuntu OS? Online search showed options to download and install on computors. No mention of smartphones. Do I need this, not being a developer? I saw one of your posts about using it to install Firefox browser. If it can do that, maybe Id want to use it to install Protonmail app if possible. The unofficial protonmail apps In Openstore require login each time to check email. Protonmail app does not. Any help would be appreciated.

        Hi,
        Libertine is a software that allows you to run desktop (deb) packages/apps on Ubuntu Touch.
        When you first open it in UT, Libertine downloads an ubuntu image (some kind of container in which you'll install apps).
        The problem with Libertine is that applications that run on pc are poorly supported on small screens and with touch, so if there is a native app from the OpenStore is usually better.

        If you are running on a desktop pc with Ubuntu, you won't need to use libertine to install apps.

          Well this is a Webapp, not really an app.
          It asks for login because the cookies are lost. There is a way to stayed logged in if you find it secure enough.

          You'll have to edit the .desktop file and add --store-session-cookies after Exec=webapp-container

            I think you lost him here.
            Tell where is the .desktop file could help him.

              @jjconstr The easiest way to install Libertine is using System Settings, Libertine. Before you start go to Battery in system settings and turn sleep when idle to never, then start.
              Edit: lock when idle not sleep.

                It depends on the app, that's the problem πŸ€·β™‚

                I'll take that it's this one: https://open-store.io/app/proton-mail.josele13

                So the desktop file should be something like :
                .cache/ubuntu-app-launch/desktop/proton-mail.josele13_X.X.X.desktop
                With X.X.X being the version number

                  @Capsia Thanks to all who offered input on this problem. I'll see what I can come up with after some study. I thought since the Libertine download was so long, it would fill my memory, but no, I have over 11 gigs left. Granted the install was interrupted and didnt finish.

                    Thank you all for your input. Libertine doesn't look right for me. Your explanations have been a help.

                      That was my problem! UT was sleeping on the job. Thanks for the tip.

                        @Capsia Lbertine is preinstalled on UT on my Nexus 5. What is the need there?

                          @jjconstr It's not pre-installed. The option is there to install it in System Settings but that is all.

                            @Lakotaubp Libertine is pre-installed. There are no containers pre-populated though. You must first create a container and then install your chosen legacy apps in it.

                              @dobey That's what I should have put. Yours is a better explanation. Thanks

                                @dobey Thanks for your reply. I'll keep this in mind, maybe later it will give me access to apps not available elsewhere.

                                    As far as I'm concerned, Libertine is only a tool to make tests (like on the FIREFOX package) because it's too resource consuming for UT. Personally, tends to cause me Lomiri crashes on a classical use of UT. Once the tests are done, I uninstall the container.
                                    Not for a daily use.

                                        @domubpkm This isn't really an apt description, and I think at least some of these issues are resolved for OTA-12 already. Many people are using libertine regularly for legacy apps.

                                        However, libertine is still simply a stopgap solution to allow using legacy apps when needed, with external input devices and monitor (or on phone for the few rare cases where it can actually be somewhat usable there). It is not a secondary means for getting additional native phone apps.

                                          Additional apps are what I wanted. Thanks for the information. Honestly, too, using Libertine sounds rather above my skill level.

                                            Also also, Libertine containers don't use any resources when not in use, except storage space. So there is no need to remove them, unless you want to reclaim the storage.
