I'm not getting anywhere so far. I installed libertine and libertine-scope via apt-get, and the icon appears on the apps desktop, but when I touch the black top hat, I got a brief flash to its screen and then it throws me back to the apps. I did some reading about 'dogfood', ie someone who described living with Unity, and they suggested this was needed: root@ubuntu-phablet:/var/log# initctl --session start libertine-lxc-manager initctl: Unable to connect to session bus: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11 but that implies I am still missing something.

I got a 1TB disk attached and set up my development area there; as it turned out the 1.1GB on the tablet was more than sufficient to allow for a gcc and gnustep install of libraries and includes. I've successfully built my applications natively. All that remains is to beat the issue with the lack of an X for the GUI to attach to.

Re: Ubuntu Tablet
Sounds like some more complications... but it looks like I have things worked out. I just have to pick up a spare USB hub after work to get the 1TB disk attached to the Aquarius M10. As for getting packages properly installed, it looks like this will work fine and get me the correct packages when run on the notepad via my ssh connection like this or something similar (ie I might need another switch parameter): apt-get download dpkg -i --root=/home/dev/ I've already got gcc to download on the notepad this way, but I am not going to install it until I get the big disk attached.

Please correct me if that is wrong. the dpkg architecture for aarchh64 is called arm64 ... the arm 32bit (armv7) dpkg architecture is called armhf ... while the kernel of the tablet is 64bit capable and built as aarch64, the userspace (and dpkg architecture) is plain 32 bit armhf. the lightdm you see running uses Mir, not X11. to run X11 apps you need to use a libertine container that fires up XMir which hooks into the running Mir displayserver then. ciao oli -- Mit Dekko von meinem Ubuntu-Gerät gesendet -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

hi, Am Montag, 9. Mai 2016 15:16:55 PDT schrieb Dale Amon : After looking around the Notepad a bit more, I can see where the issues are going to come in with storage. It looks to me that there is no way it can be used as its own development platform. It hasn't got gcc/gobjc/gcc++ installed, let alone the debian packaging tools. So I am presuming those folks working on it are building everything with a cross compiler. So instead of the one day task I was hoping for, I've got to face the whole learning curve for setting up a cross compile environment for aarch64. the tablet uses an armhf userspace, not aarch64 Can you point me at a HOWTO used to orient the notepad developers to how to set up their cross-platform development environments?> in a former mail i posted: http://askubuntu.com/questions/620740/recommended-way-to-install-regularcli-deb-packages-on-ubuntu-phone/623311#623311 which should get you up and running for a development environment... for running your X11 applications you will have to create a fresh libertine container and use libertine-container-manager to install your created deb packages in it... for this follow the other guide from my former mail: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yJepibh68YaQijWO3Z3dWTtTTmzXnMmEE8eswhUXzw4/edit?pref=2&pli=1 ciao oli -- Mit Dekko von meinem Ubuntu-Gerät gesendet -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
