RE: Anbox for Debian - Id405 - 07-06-2020
Has anyone been able to get keyboard input working yet?

It appears to be an issue with the virtual keyboard rather than anbox itself - squeekboard seems to map keys in an odd way for some desktop apps, see this issue:

RE: Anbox for Debian - Transistor4acpu - 07-17-2020
I get error messages when I try to install the anbox kernel modules to Kernel 5.7. Is there a solution for that problem?

Someone was kind enough to update the Arch wiki page with the now necessary steps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Anbox
Apparently, you'll want to remove any previous installation attempts first.
You need to rebuild the kernel with those flags enabled.

What error messages and which distro are using? Pretty sure it was working in mobian but I haven't tested it for a while.
RE: Anbox for Debian - a-wai - 07-17-2020
Apparently the anbox modules are now upstream (and previous version can't be built with 5.7), so we need to provide a build which includes these as default.
This should happen within a few days, don't worry
RE: Anbox for Debian - a-wai - 07-21-2020
Latest kernel now includes binder and ashmem, you should be able to run anbox again.
RE: Anbox for Debian - Transistor4acpu - 07-22-2020
Thanks for the help and the Kernel.
But how do I install anbox? apt install anbox don't work and I can't install it with snapd.
RE: Anbox for Debian - arturo2bodegas - 07-22-2020
This is frustrating, for sure...looks like it's targeted towards ubuntu systems, but ubuntu is built on debian...I've got snap installed, and got the anbox-installer snap installed, but it seems that maybe that's deprecated now? I cloned the anbox git and tried to compile it from source, but I just don't have the linux skills (yet). C compiler is throwing up errors...but maybe it shouldn't be necessary to build from source? I don't know. I can tell you that you won't find an anbox .deb in the repos, so I wouldn't bother with apt.

Looks like you have to add contrib to /etc/apt/sources.list for apt install to work but there appears to be a further problem with modprobe failing to find binder or ashmem in the kernel modules directory. I'm guessing there's a further step beyond enabling them in the kernel?
