The whole intent of Libertine is allowing users to install and use X graphical applications in Debian package format on their Unity 8 devices. Given that is the goal, if a user wants a shell inside the container to run command line applications, then our suggestion is to install a terminal application such as Terminator or Sakura inside the container and then run that terminal application from within Unity 8.
I'm really not sure where it's documented that libertine-launch is supposed to be used to get command line access inside a container. libertine-launch was only developed as a helper application for ubuntu- app-launch to start X applications in a Libertine container (and later to launch snap applications). As an aside, I understand power users want more control from the command line such as ssh'ing in to the device and then accessing a container from the ssh session, but honestly, that is really beyond the intended design and scope of Libertine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1652424 Title: libertine-launch manpage needs to be updated to better explain its usage To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libertine/+bug/1652424/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
