[FR] Problème APT

[Webmust]

Bonjour,

J'ai un gros problème avec un téléphone bq Aquaris 4.5 Ubuntu Edition.

En fait, il y a une série de bugs assez génant. J'ai voulu faire une des mises à jours, mais ca ne fonctionne pas en mode graphique. J'ai tenter en ligne de commande (sudo apt-get update et aussi upgrade). La réponse est "W: Il n'existe aucun utilisateur « _apt » pour le bac à sable sur ce système, il est impossible de supprimer les droits."

Les menu pour changer les canaux n'existe pas. Même chose pour le mode développeur.

Merci de votre futur aide.

P.S. Je ne parle pas anglais

"Hello,

I have a big problem with a bq Aquaris 4.5 Ubuntu Edition phone.

In fact, there is a series of bugs quite annoying. I wanted to do one of the updates, but it doesn't work in graphic mode. I tried to do a command line update (sudo apt-get update and also upgrade). The answer is "W: There is no " _apt " user for the sandbox on this system, it's impossible to remove the rights."

The menu to change channels does not exist. Same thing for developer mode.

Thanks for your future help.

P.S. I don't speak English "

@webmust Indeed, I'm french-speaking as well, but this forum is international and is used exclusively in English

UT does not need to use apt. It's even strongly discouraged to use the terminal for non experienced users. Doing so first needs to mount your system in root ("re-writable mode") :

sudo mount -o rw,remount /

But be aware that using this method leads to a high risk of breaking down your system...

You'd rather go in system settings => updates (paramètres => mises à jour), and select the available updates, than click on the green box "installer".

If it doesn't work, you can reinstall latest Ubuntu Touch OTA without loosing your data using the UBports installer. (Do not check "Wipe data" nor "Bootstrap partition").
Ensure developer mode is activated and Android debugging bridge (adb) is on.

Hi @webmust
This forum is english only as @Moem and @stanwood already mentioned.
You can head to https://t.me/UBports_French to talk with Ubuntu Touch French community.

@webmust

What is the system version on your Aquaris? Is it ubports or canonical uTouch you have?
When (what year) was your last update?

---

Quelle est la version d'ubuntu touch présente sur ton aquaris? Est-ce une version faite par ubports ou par canonical?
Quand (quelle année) as-tu installé la dernière mise à jour?

PS : utilise www.DeepL.com/Translator pour traduire ta réponse avant de la poster ici, il ne t'es pas interdit de poster la version française, mais l'anglais est obligatoire, alors ajoute en premier la traduction en anglais dans chacun de tes posts comme je l'ai fait dans celui-là.

Please just re-read the Thread...

Hello,

I have read, and I have to use the integrated update system.

But this does not solve the APT error message ...

That's why I ask for a solution because I mostly use the CLI

And the one from @stanwood ?

@nonobike To cut a long story short, there is no supported solution to solve the apt error message. The message about not being able to 'remove' the rights of the non-existent _apt user is not a fatal error.

You say you mostly use the CLI. And it is your phone and your installation, so you are free to do as you please with it, but UT is not set up to be updated via apt. Neither is there any need to do so. Updates get pulled in via the system settings. (There is also a way to do that via the CLI, but I never use that, so I am not sure about the syntax. Futhermore it takes more effort to use the CLI than to just open the Settings app and tapping on Update)

The rootfs is read-only for stability and a robust atomic updating system (the updates are either applied in full, or not at all). This stops the user from experiencing breakage due to a partially applied update.

If you want to install apps from the Ubuntu repo's on your device, you are encouraged to read up on Libertine containers. That technology was created especially for that purpose.

If the app or tool you are looking to install is also available as a snap you can try enabling snap support on your device with the Snapz0r app, if you are on Focal.
