After a fresh install of Waydroid on my Pixel 3a, I had limited access to the navigation buttons at the bottom of the Android screen. I saw a post about this at:
and tried in a terminal:
waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.height_padding 65
on my Pixel 3a. I did not use "sudo".
This made the lower buttons clear the bottom of the screen just fine. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks. It's a work in progress. 
I did the install the same way through the Libertine GUI. I didn't do anything different in any attempt. It was strange and I was even surprised it worked the third time. It did solve that error. Thanks for the reply.
I opened a terminal and typed "ip link".
wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 3000
It shows "link/ether" and then the permanent MAC address.
wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group qlen 3000
It shows "link/ether" and then the MAC address.
I was experimenting with "macchanger" on my Pixel 3a to change the MAC addresses of the devices and all worked except for "waydroid0" and "wlan0". I brought the network down and tried "sudo ip link set wlan0 mode default". Then I succesfully changed the MAC address for "wlan0". I then brought the network back up, did "ip link", and saw that "wlan0" had the permanent MAC address back and was labeled "DORMANT" again. All other device addresses kept the changed MAC addresses ("waydroid0" did not change).
Is there a way to change the MAC address of "wlan0"? Is "waydroid0" going to have a permanent by design MAC address?

I have read that UT is moving more towards the main Ubuntu distribution. How would this affect the way we run and design apps for UT? Would Libertine still be required?
Pulsar33 and doniks:
Thanks for the information. I've tried three times to install the container and I still get errors. The Libertine GUI in Settings would not delete the container. I had to manually go into two directories with terminal to delete it all. I also had to delete the name of the container using the terminal. This was mentioned in another post. According to the Libertine documentation, my two options (ADB and SSH) did not work either. I had been using ADB to flash my phone and I have ADB on both my computer and Pixel 3a. I set up keys on my computer and phone and still could not get SSH to work. I had Developer Mode on and also SSH was enabled on the phone with UT Tweak Tool. The documentation said that I needed to use either ADB or SSH to use Libertine commands due to AppArmor. I just tried them in a terminal and they did not work. If you can point me to a real good tutorial on ADB or even SSH or a third option I do not know about, then I would appreciate that.
I did have that error. After the third attempt of trying to install "libtls-padding.so", that error went away. Thanks for the reply.
@pulsar33 When I installed "libtls-padding0" via the UT Libertine GUI, it then disappeared and was no longer listed. I tried it again and it disappeared again. Is this normal?
@jojumaxx This happened to me, too. This is what I did.
Go to the regular UT terminal app that was there already when you installed UT on your phone and launch it.
Type in at the prompt and do not use "sudo":
libertine-container-manager exec -i xenial -c bash
I did not use "sudo" for anything while doing this.
There was a series of lines that say something like:

bash: /home/phablet/.bashrc: Permission

I typed at the prompt: cd /usr/share/applications
and got then got this:
root@ubuntu-phablet:/usr/share/applicati
ons#
I typed at the prompt: ls
The above two characters are a little "L" and small "S". This will list the files in the applications folder.
Among the files that show up should be "gnome-terminal.desktop". You should still have the same prompt as before after the listing is complete. Then, I typed in at the prompt "nano gnome-terminal.desktop". You should have "nano" installed in the container before you do any of these steps. "nano" is a nice little editor that I use to modify files. It has methods to select keys like "Control-X", etc. that you will need to save your modified file. There is also a selection you will make inside "nano" that will select arrow keys that you can navigate up, down, right, and left to get to that line you have to change. It took me some time to get it all done with the small keyboard.
This allowed me to launch the new "gnome-terminal" icon. I then tried to "apt install" an app and it hung in the middle of my typing it. The keyboard disappeared and the gnome-terminal app froze.
I put in another topic entry for it. If you get past my problem, please post your solution here or on my other topic. I hope this helps. If I did something wrong or need to fix things, still, please let me know.
I installed Waydroid using the instructions from the Waydroid website. It installed fairly quickly and is running fine on my Pixel 3a. I have a PinePhone with Arch/POSH running Waydroid as well and Pixel 3a is much faster and is a smaller package. F-Droid, etc. runs fine on Pixel 3a.
I installed an XMPP app called "Conversations". I have it set up to make VoIP calls. When a call is established, I have three icons at the bottom. I can turn off the microphone, end the call, or use speakerphone. The call connects with speakerphone on all the time and I cannot turn it off. I tried a similar app and the same speakerphone icon will not turn the speakerphone off.
Has anyone else had this problem with a speakerphone icon being inoperative? Is there a work around to turn off the external speaker manually somewhere?
