    • Aquaris e5 flashing problems with Ubuntu 18.04

      Hello Guys,

      First: Thanks you to the ubports-forum for making it possible that I can describe my problem here.

      After a long day of research and many attempts to make it work here is my situation:
      I recently bought a used Aquaris e5s and wanted to install Ubuntu touch.
      My OS is Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
      So I launched "ubports installer" and found out that I first have to flash an old version with either the "sp_flash_tool" or the "BQ_firmware_flash_tool"

      "sp_flash_tool" wont't work without "libpng12.so.0" which I can't install with my ubuntu version anymore.

      so I installed the "BQ_firmware_flash_tool"
      but I wasn't able to launch it... neither with the software center nor with the terminal. According to the "BQ_firmware_flash_tool" manual, the program should be visible after restarting the computer. That didn't happen. The "gdebi package manager" status message is: "Error: Dependency is not satisflable: GKSU"

      According to what I found online, the problem is the ubuntu version 18.04. Is that right?

      I did quite a long research to find out that the bq e5 is suitable for me and will work with ubuntu touch and I was aware that it would take a time to install the os on the android phone but I didn't expect that it would be impossible to get the programs running on my computer.

      Does anyone know what could work with ubuntu 18.04?
