@Lakotaubp goodness you are more useless than a Windows install. You have no business using an Ubuntu phone if you can't even figure out how to make apt work.

@JacekRock apt doesn't just work in theory, it works in practice, as soon as you make your filesystem r/w instead of just r.

go post on some other thread about your text editors, this thread is about apt.

THE ACTUAL ANSWER TO THIS THREAD:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /

#this remounts the filesystem temporarily as rw. Another solution is using chroot or libertine.
