        Hi,

        I've just bought a A BQ Aquaris M10 FHD Ubuntu Edition tablet. After upgrading it to OTA23 (with Ubuntu laptop) I tried to install some apps from terminal, but after these steps:

        sudo mount -o remount,rw /
        sudo apt update
        sudo apt install "anysoftware"

        the output is:
        No free space here: /var/cache/apt/archives/

        Even a 130MB GIMP is too big. I have 7,5GB free space.

        What's wrong?

          What is wrong is that you must not use apt update and apt install on ubuntu touch.

          If you want to install "desktop" apps on ubuntu touch, you need to use libertine.

            @keneda I made a container, took about an hour, installed GIMP. Can't run it. No startup icon.

              HI
              Libertine works for most command line software.
              GUI software are tricky to make it work, first of all, the GUI is not designed for tablets or phones so it is difficult to use. And sometimes the GUI simply is not working for lack of dependencies or other incompatibilities...

              Most people try Gimp or LibreOffice and realize it's not usable even on a tablet.
