i know its old but if problem still persists show the output of:
dkms status
Maybe there's something left which needs to be deleted with the dkms remove
command.
I had to do a clean install I tried dkms remove on the things I added and I got error messages saying that those modules did not exist @SoulInfernoDE and I am planning to accept that anbox is dead and theres nothing to do about it
I don't think it's dead. If you have a newer linux kernel from ubuntu, chances are that you do not need to build the modules at all. They might be integrated into the kernel already..
If you want to check whether this is true you could try:
$ sudo make /dev/binder
$ sudo mount -t binder binder /dev/binder
If it doesn't say:
unknown file system binder
Then you don't need to build the modules..
You can check then if it works with:
$ anbox system-info
I am on arch right now and tried anbox on arch doesnt work as well requires a custom kernel and even in old days of ubuntu when it used to work it didnt do a great job anyway. The idea is great but but I am following the project for years and theres little to no improvement on usability
Ah arch, is a distro to come for me when I've installed my larger ssd. What you mean are those "new" features yes I'm kinda with you 🙂 But I still have hope as anbox is a project which other companies are settling also hopes in it for extended linux smartphones etc.. And I think it's the only one so far 🙄
I am not sure what you mean by "new" features because a year or two ago things used to work now it does not so it just seems somehow it could not catch up with the updates of other projects such as the kernel itself
anbox as it is - is still working fine for me. I am on Ubuntu kernel 5.11.10 which is very new. But I'll rebuild my kernel with android modules options enabled/integrated by myself.
@SoulInfernoDE I meant the out-of-box experience
Problem is that the modules has been added directly to the kernel but not enabled by default in all distro I guess.
So it should make it easier in the near future as no modules need to be built which is a better out of the box exp. right? 🙂
well lets hope so but in the foreseeable future anbox still wont be available to masses seems like at least to people like myself who has never compiled a kernel with manual parameters
Will do this when I have arch installed as my second os on the next days. If you like I can share it here. But as usual no warranties from me.. .. you know must say this because of legals 👍
sure why not I will try it on a virtualbox first anyway :) thanks.
@SoulInfernoDE btw today I tried getting zen kernel with anbox modules bot for some reason could not boot it went back to normal kernel from a live usb
When I am try to upgrade my computer I get error saying
I dont understand why it is trying to find those since I deleted andbox and the modules because they no longer work properly with newest ubuntu. At this point anbox modules leaves the system in an unusable state is there any fix for this?
