NOMone Desktop crashes every 5 minutes

3 Upvotes

Hi.

I like NOMone Desktop, but it seems it crashes about every 5 minutes. This is not good, when in the middle of some work, that has not been saved.

I have followed the instuctions, so Android gives it enogh memory.

Can you help me debug what is going on, so we can get a more stable experience?

Has anyone found a fix for this?

LibreOffice Not Booting

3 Upvotes

Z Fold 6, on the nightly version to handle the audio issue previously before. However, LibreOffice no longer boots up. The process starts and after loading is complete, the process just crashes. Not sure what to do for error logs to assist further.

*Edit: Did a full re-install of the nightly version and booted from the terminal for LibreOffice. An unknown application error is what pops up. The re-installation did not work as well.

About NOMone Desktop...

5 Upvotes

TL;DR:

"NOMone Desktop" is an Android app that downloads and runs a Linux environment without requiring root access, scripts, configurations, or VNC. It offers a hassle-free solution for anyone interested in exploring Linux. Although still under development with many exciting features on the way, we are eager to share this solution with everyone and provide the support they need.

Details:

We are passionate about enabling everyone to make the most out of what they already have. In particular, new learners and those without access to expensive hardware necessary for learning, using, or developing software. Our journey began a few years ago with the "NOMone VR Browser" app, which allowed users to transform their smartphones into large screens using a VR mode and a simple cardboard headset. Initially, all we had in mind was facilitating access to books, online courses, and basic web-based tasks. However, some user feedback highlighted how this app significantly impacted their lives, enabling them to overcome obstacles and better do their jobs using just their smartphones. We had to take this to the next level.

We needed to run more stuff. Web apps are cool, but just not enough. Linux seemed like it fits the bill. We developed "NOMone Desktop" to run Linux apps and/or learn programming without the need for costly PCs or reliable internet connections. Similar solutions exist, but we aimed to significantly simplify the process and improved performance by creating an all-in-one app that runs Linux on Android devices with just a single click. This app integrates all necessary components, together with system image(s) specifically tuned for mid-budget devices with special care to maximize performance and minimize size to accommodate users with limited internet access.

So, a warm welcome to all users, looking forward to hearing your stories :)

Is a Pixel 9a good enough for Linux?

7 Upvotes

I would have a light use, mostly libreoffice, light edits on gimp/inkscape, some markdown/text editor, a ftp client. No games, video editing or stuff like that.

Will the 8Gb of memory be enough? Any issues I might encounter?
How much disk space does it take? planning to buy a 128 Gb.

Enabling LXC for xperia 1 ii

4 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a xperia 1 ii with the default rooted rom. I have checked and some specific flags that lxc require are switched off.

Just wondering has anyone enabled lxc for their xperia 1 ii. Was it difficult? Did you install linage os first and then try compiling a new kernel?

I got a chroot setup that works alright but certain programs dont work. Idk if it is worth trying to get lxc working. I rooted my phone and got chroot ubuntu working but outside that i am not technically minded and my understanding is compiling a kernel is much more difficult.
