We're not going back to the 1990s. If you're willing to unpackage the debs as a simple binary you copy around, could you not just repackage as a click so others can install the tool? When snap support comes to the mobile flavour of Ubuntu, then that's an even better choice . By the way, we're working on a successor to the Terminal App that should make this much easier to snap/click things like mc. - -- Stephen M.

What I did for some tools like qdbus (mc falls into the same category I suppose) is to just copy the binaries from the deb packages on launchpad into ~/bin/. Just to have such small tools around, keeping a whole chroot seems a bit overkill to me. So I was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to change dpkg's root to ~ or something so that we could apt-get install some command line tools easily without a) requiring read-write mode and b) a full chroot/container. > > > > On Mon, 2016-06-13 at 17:51 +0300, Николай Шатохин wrote: >> Hello >> >> How to get write permissions to root filesystem.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Get root access
You should not change the root filesystem (/) to read/write mode and install things with apt. The partition will fill up quickly as it is small, and you will break updates if you do so. If you must use some command line tools, you can do so using a simple chroot, or by using the newer libertine tools. For using a chroot see http://askubuntu.com/a/623311/50737 This answer will be updated to include the libertine solution, when all of the necessary pieces are available directly on all images. However, if you are on the M10 tablet, then installing the tools you need inside the libertine container and using them from there, is the preferred way to do this.

[Ubuntu-phone] Get root access
Hello How to get write permissions to root filesystem. I need to install some utils (like Midnight Commander) using apt-get.
