        Hey great job guys. I was sad when Ubuntu pulled the plug but bought a nexus 5 when I heard you've taken over.

        Few questions:

        Are we getting an adblock anytime soon?

        A pgp email client?

        Thanks
        Keep up the good work ๐Ÿ™‚

              Also I just attempted a

              sudo nano /etc/hosts

              to edit my host file but I can't save it. I get read only file system
              (trying to add the hosts file recommended on a previous thread.)

              Edit: So I just read the image is Read only and I don't particulary want to make my system Read-Write. Is there another way to change my hosts file to add in this hosts file without changing my system to Read only?

              If the only way is to make my system RW then unfortunately I'll do that. I'd rather crawl through a kilometre of broken glass than read an advert quite frankly.

              Whilst I'm here is there are any tutorials for setting up Libertine on ubuntu touch (I understand it allows you to run desktop apps?)

                I used to do this: RW + change /etc/hosts for a long time on UT without any real problem.

                Actually the only way how I really ever broke stuff with RW was when I did apt upgrade - stay clear of that or be prepared to reflash.

                  Hey thanks man ๐Ÿ™‚

                  I feel like I need some help with libertine though. I'm essentially trying to install transmission and running the command

                  libertine-container-manager -p/transmission

                  I also tried

                  libertine-container-manager install-package transmission

                  Thanks
                  Oh btw if anyone wants to amke the system Read write you can do so via the UT tweaks app in the ubuntu store.

                    Should be

                    libertine-container-manage install-package -p transmission 
                    

                    If it doesn't work, copy/paste exactly what you executed and what the response was.

                    transmission worked quite nicely for me in the past, because you can enable the webinterface and then control it from the UT browser.

                      Thanks man. You're the bomb. That appears to install. And finally (Sorry)
                      what's the command to launch it?

                      I've ran libertine-launch container-identifier transmission

                      and

                      libertine-launch transmission

                      as well as libertine-container-manager exec transmission

                      if I do the lisp-apps command the only package that shows is

                      Ubuntu 'Vivid Vervet'

                      However if I run the transmission install command again it says it's already installed. Thanks

                        Just install the Desktop App Scope from the Canonical scope, and you will see your installed apps there

                        So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

                          Hmmm it doesn't appear under that application.

                          Desktop scopes doesn't appear in my menu but if i go into ubuntu store search for desktop scopes I get

                          No applications available. Install new applications with the Libertine manager.

                            I don't understand what you're saying. What do you have installed/ not installed? Who says what? Maybe screenshots would help.

                              Its โ€œdesktop apps scopeโ€ which when installed will find any xapps you have already.
                              But you have to have libertine container installed ( done via terminal) the info is here on the forum.
