Libertine App Install, Run, and Remove
-
I am trying to install foxtrotgps (https://www.foxtrotgps.org/) as an app in a Libertine Contianer. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 (2023-W13) from 20.04/arm64/android9plus/stable on a Google Pixel 3a phone.
- Libertine fails to install a package because of permissions related to the creation of a directory /run/gpsd. How do you fix permission errors related to gpsd?
- Why is there are discrepancy between the terminal “container list-apps” and the Libertine GUI?
- Shouldn’t failed installs not show under start menu and “libertine-container-manager list-apps”?
- Shouldn’t “libertine-container-manager list” and Settings>Libertine>Manage Libertine Containers show the same information?
Details:
I have a default Libertine container set up "Ubuntu 'Focal Fossa'". I set the container up in Settings>Libertine and it shows in the terminal:$ libertine-container-manager list focaland it shows in Settings>Libertine>Manage Libertine Containers as"
Ubuntu 'Focal Fossa'
I tried to install the app but the Libertine GUI shows no apps installed. But:$ libertine-container-manager list-apps focal_foxtrotgps_0.0Running the application from the start screen starts X11 support and the foxtrotgps app but nothing but a black screen appears.
Also starting the package from the command line (as per the documentation) fails. The documentation says: “Run desktop application - Run it from the app menu like any other app. To start a graphical app from the command-line, for example gedit, run this in a terminal:
#ubuntu-app-launch <CONTAINER_ID>_<desktop_file_name>_0.0
ubuntu-app-launch xenial_gedit_0.0”
I get the following:$ ubuntu-app-launch focal_foxtrotgps_0.0 -bash: ubuntu-app-launch: command not foundHere is what is shown when I try to install the app from the command line. The sticking point seems to be “Stopped: Couldn't create home directory `/run/gpsd': Permission denied.” When I install the same app on my desktop computer the /run/gpsd directory gets created with no problem. Here is the output from trying to install the app with Libertine:
