@MrT10001
Issues resolved. Thank you.

@MrT10001 You're right! Fixing that now.

At least I assumed it was OTA 5. Details from the phone:

OS build number
2024-W30/2

Kernel
4.9.124-g9d9bacba70be-ab722 (arm64)

Device image part
20240620-9208

After the upgrade, no network/internet icon showing screen-top on reboot. In fact only shows about, battery, sound.

Opening settings app explicitly has huge delay with swirly circling, but eventually opens, and does show a network/internet icon, which when opened makes the SIM work and enables (with some manual on and off) WiFi.

After that, all is well until the next reboot, when the issue recurs.

Any ideas?

@arubislander , I found that using fakeroot as in the post you linked does not give a working root shell, e.g. apt install nano fails.

Here's something that did apparently work. Below "........." is an error message config.py:91 WARNING _get_maliit_address_from_dbus(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Noreply: Did not receive a reply. [...]

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo -E bash
root@ubuntu-phablet:~# lish focal
..........
(focal)root@ubuntu-phablet:~# 

Using this apt install nano worked, as did apt remove nano.

Using this su phablet indicates the user named phablet does not exist in the container. So I will attempt to add it with uid 32011 as associated with the missing name in the post you linked.

Using Pixel 3a, Release candidate channel, Settings.Updates says Ubuntu touch Version 9.

Just made a Libertine container through Settings.Libertine, default name, no password. Installed Libertine Tweak Tool, and used that to turn on Libertine Shell. The container ID when done is focal as shown by Settings.Libertine.

Went into terminal, and typed the command lish focal which gave me a prompt as follows.

(focal)I have no name!@ubuntu-phablet:~$

So I exited and typed the command to get a root shell in the container lirsh focal which behaved exactly as lish focal and did not give me a root shell.

• How can I get a root shell?
• How do I fix the no username problem?

Thank you for considering my difficulties.

@TotalSonic Thanks.

@trainailleur apologies, USA.

--- I know that some companies' SIM cards need an android app to be a part of activation, but it is hard to find out which ones.

Hello, any suggestions for where to get a GSM SIM card for very low phone use for this? It is the exact Nexus 5 recommended and works perfectly with WiFi.
