RE: Cannot get root shell in new Libertine container
@nom
strange, on xperia x (focal) stable (OTA-3) it worked for me with a new focal container:
(I used the name focal2 because I have a focal container already)phablet@xperia:~$ libertine-container-manager create -i focal2 -t chroot ... phablet@xperia:~$ libertine-container-manager exec -i focal2 -c "/bin/bash" groups: cannot find name for group ID 32011 I have no name!@xperia:~$ fakeroot groups: cannot find name for group ID 32011 root@xperia:~# apt install nano ... (installs without error)
as mentioned in the post the missing id problem is solved by adding
extrausers
to the first 4 lines of/etc/nsswitch.conf
within the containerpasswd: files systemd extrausers group: files systemd extrausers shadow: files extrausers gshadow: files extrausers
it could be that this only works for libertine containers of type chroot. I've updated the command above accordingly.

RE: Howto : chroot debian with X support instead libertine ubuntu
@Bouleetbil
I've seen that with the fakeroot command it is possible to get a root shell for libertine:

RE: libertine Focal don't find group ID
@Bouleetbil
I struggled with getting a root shell as well and tried many things, but suddenly found a quite easy way:
after logging in to the libertine focal container withlibertine-container-manager exec -i focal -c "/bin/bash"
type the command "fakeroot" and press return. I could then run apt within the container without the dpkg "requires superuser" errors.
or it is possible to use the following command to log in to libertine with user root:
libertine-container-manager exec -i focal -c "/bin/fakeroot"
EDIT: it might only work for libertine containers of type 'chroot'. (-t chroot when creating the container)

RE: Does MS Authenticator work under Waydroid?
Did you know that the microsoft 2FA can be used with an alternative app as well (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/using-a-different-authenticator-app-for-2fa/9202e8b5-d859-445c-80fa-61c0e04a1ebf) E.g. I'm using authenticator NG for it. As I remember I've manually entered that long token that is included in the mentioned QR code to authenitcator NG and use that app now for microsoft 2FA logins.

RE: UT is ram-hungry
a question: do some of you that have only morph open and it uses very much memory use uadblock ? For me (BQ Aquaris 4.5) uadblock (with all lists) added a high memory footprint to morph and webapps for me. https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1265 / https://github.com/ubports/morph-browser/issues/263
Removing the lists / turning uadblock off did not revert the effect for me, only reflashing (and then no longer use uadblock) helped. -
RE: Build docviewer with libreoffice support for xenial
Yesterday I tried the same for the amd64 clickable container (adding the dependendies manually and run in desktop mode), and got:

RE: Build docviewer with libreoffice support for xenial
Here some screenshots to the steps described in https://github.com/ubports/docviewer-app/pull/25
If you uncomment the line "#INSTALL( DIRECTORY ${UPSTREAM_LIBS_DIR}/opt/libreoffice/lib/libreoffice/ DESTINATION ${DATA_DIR}lib/${ARCH_TRIPLET}/libreoffice )" in Click.cmake, you get a click package without libreoffice support (e.g. text and pdf files work).
If you try to open an odt file, you get the message:
If you add (e.g. in a chroot environment with clickable --container-mode) libreoffice to the dependencies, and put the line " #INSTALL(DIRECTORY /usr/lib/libreoffice/ DESTINATION ${DATA_DIR}lib/${ARCH_TRIPLET}/libreoffice )" to the Click.cmake, you get an about 80MB click package.
Again opening an example odt file, you now get:
In the logviewer you see, for example:
After adding the missing dependencies, at some point it was no longer complaining, the screen looked like:
and the corresponding log:
qml: Path of the document: /media/phablet/7873-B162/Documents/example.odt
