Anbox - apps have no internet

Rodnoq

@rocket2nfinity
Did you finally find a solution ?
I encounter quite the same problem on a fresh install of anbox on OTA-16. My apps doesn't seems to have access to internet, except F-Droïd which does.
It appears either with 4G or wifi

This is what i tried to figured out where is the problem :

First some infos about anbox :
anbox system-info and anbox-tool status : https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rchMv6RBWc/

I tried to ping www.google.com, i works :

armv7-a-neon:/ $ ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (172.217.18.196) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ham02s14-in-f196.1e100.net (172.217.18.196): icmp_seq=1 ttl=113 time=17.2 ms

I tried to use anbox-bridge.sh but it doesn't seem to solve the problem :
this way :

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Documents$ anbox-tool status
Kernel: OK
System: OK
Enabled: YES
Running: YES
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Documents$ anbox-tool disable
[sudo] password for phablet:
Anbox is now disabled
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Documents$ sudo ./anbox-bridge.sh start
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Documents$ sudo anbox-tool enable
start: Job failed to start
start: Unknown job: anbox-session
Anbox is now enabled

or this way :

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ cd Documents/
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Documents$ sudo ./anbox-bridge.sh restart
[sudo] password for phablet:
anbox-bridge isn't running
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Documents$ anbox-tool
statusKernel: OK
System: OK
Enabled: NO
Running: NO
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Documents$ anbox-tool enable
start: Job is already running: anbox-container
start: Job is already running: anbox-session
Anbox is now enabled
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Documents$ anbox-tool status
Kernel: OK
System: OK
Enabled: YES
Running: NO

With both ways i can't launch any app in anbox. I need to restart UT.

I found an apparently similar case on anbox github :
https://github.com/anbox/anbox/issues/1226

Which finally refers to this one which is supposed to solve the problem :
https://github.com/anbox/anbox/pull/1081

But don't know how to apply it on UT.

@rodnoq I got internet back by deleting Libertine, then re- installing Anbox. So, apps work except browsers and apps that are blocked by an xml permissions file in the android build preventing them from serving webpages to the app. I have not had time to investigate why it was done that way.

Hi (like Waydroid doesn't work for me I try andox )
OTA-20 Xiaomi redmi note 9S.
Anbox seems to work fine (installing f droid apk ok, and app works) but I don't have internet with anbox app. (even F-droid).

sudo ./anbox-bridge.sh start give me an error "syntax error:newline unexpected"

Impossible to have internet connexion with anbox app. If someone have an idea :)?

@phiibuntu Hmmm weird, Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 S / Pro are in the working WayDroid device list...

Phiibuntu

I yes waydroid works in my xiaomi but then UT browser and other UT app doesn't work anymore.

Anyway I had a problem with my file anbox-bridge.sh (it was not the good file)
sorry.

Edit anbox-bridge.sh doesn't fix my network problem in anbox ...

@phiibuntu I had this when I first got my UT xiaomi note 9s. I had made the system read/write, installed waydroud, got it working and then broke my UT apps. I think I must have done sudo apt upgrade and killed something. After a clean install, installing waydroid, and no upgrade everything is nice now.

This isn't really a solution, but I hope it helps!

Phiibuntu

@j-mackay93 said in Anbox - apps have no internet:

system read/write,

Thanks for information, but do you remerber want have you killed?
I make rw on system, then apt-upgrade
and now I have the same issue without waydroid install. Segmentation fault on UT app.

stanwood

@phiibuntu Mind to not confuse apt-update and apt-upgrade commands.

In Ubuntu Touch, one should NEVER make an apt-upgrade because this can upgrade unwanted packages that could brick your system.

At this point there's no revert method. You have to reinstall UT...

j.mackay93

@Phiibuntu yep just like @stanwood said, doing apt upgrade breaks things (morph, axolotl, messing for me) but apt update is alright. Probably best to start fresh again.

Also, i think you can easily and safely install waydroid through the waydroid helper app now. I havent done it, but i think i heard that it des all the hard work.

j.mackay93

@Phiibuntu so in the end all i did was

sudo -s
mount -o remount,rw /
apt install waydroid
waydroid init
reboot
sudo -s
waydroid container start
exit

And after that I had a happy Xiaomi UT20

thank you, on my phone waydroid helper make it unfunctionnal, but install waydroid this way works fine
