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: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/squeekboard/-/issues/168

I get error messages when I try to install the anbox kernel modules to Kernel 5.7. Is there a solution for that problem?

See: (06-25-2020, 06:38 AM)tophneal Wrote: This has been brought up in the Anbox github issues, and there is a solution that isn't reverting your kernel version. ashmem and binder are now part of mainline kernel, and can be enabled to allow for installation: https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules/i...-643728906 Just recompile your kernel and enable the flags. Someone was kind enough to update the Arch wiki page with the now necessary steps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Anbox You need to rebuild the kernel with those flags enabled.

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 ![]()

Latest kernel now includes binder and ashmem, you should be able to run anbox again.

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.

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.

I'm guessing there's a further step beyond enabling them in the kernel? |
