        @kugiigi I Confirm that UBports Installer (0.8.7 Beta on Ubuntu 20.04.2) works pretty well with Redmi Note 7:

          @keneda let's just say, probably not always so... since I tried it on different machines under Debian 9, and there was always a problem. I was run it from under an unprivileged user, maybe it was necessary to run from under the root? Maybe I needed to add a user to the dialout group or make symlinks to adb and fastboot? Okay, next time, I'll try again with logs and screenshots... Sorry...

            But if you know what you do, if you well know
            Ubuntu Touch, that can be no problem.

            As I understand it, I need to take old deb packages witch compatible to installed, which will not entail by dependencies and the need to replace libraries. Some libraries may pull dependencies of other packages, which in turn may break the system. Or to build static packages of what I need with debhelper etc... Just, I was hoping there was a standard way to install a number of simple shell standalone applications and utilities that would not affect dbus/systemd, udev, networking, vendor stuff and so on.
            And No, Ubuntu Touch I do not know well enough, but I plan to look at the project. However I know Linux since kernel 0.0.99 and Debian since 1.2/rex šŸ™‚ desktop Ubuntu, some other Un*x systems, slightly Android.

              Hi using APT is not standard on Ubnutu Touch, the standard way is to use click packages.

              You can use sofwares packaged as .deb and repackaged them into a click.
              If they are simple CLI than I think it won't be hard to include the necessary libraries into a click package.
              This click can then be uploaded to the Open Store and be made available to all.

              Of course on mobile, a nice GUI is always welcome šŸ˜‰

                And, what about pkcon utility? It reports that over ~ 15 repositories are connected to it. But when you try to install, for example, mc - it crashes. Did this tool come from the Canonical and must not be used?

                  @markatrafik The supported method for installing legacy and CLI apps from the Ubuntu archive, is via a Libertine container.

                    Without ubports-qa update, all seems to be ok...
                    ~$ sudo bash
                    ~# mount -o remount,rw /
                    ~# apt-get install joe
                    ~# sync
                    ~# mount -o remount,ro /
                    ~# reboot
                    System is booting, working, and no errors in logs...
                    Btw, ubports-qa - simple python script, with some manipulation with repos. But, you think, that such actions are contrary to the concept? And I need to compile a static binary together with these libraries?! and then wrap it in a package manager "click" to drop it in /opt ? No, of course, I'll probably do it that way too... but later šŸ™‚

                        Fact is, when you'll update your phone, you'll loose any "apt" modifications you did.
