Are you able to get a version number for libertine? I believe this is a duplicate of #1596020, and I am marking it as such - we've fixed this in devel, so you should get the update soon.

[Christopher Townsend (townsend)]

The first issue is:

"sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified"

Were you presented the password dialog and if so, did you enter the password? I'm not sure how it got into that state.

[dinamic (dinamic6661)]

@larryprice libertine 1.2.1+16.10.20160623-0ubuntu1

@townsend yep i entered the password. first dialogue is asking for a name and the second for a password. i tried like 10 times :D with the same result

[dinamic (dinamic6661)]

same with 1.2.2+16.10.20160707-0ubuntu1 :(

see attached screenshot

[Christopher Townsend (townsend)]

Ok, well, this is not a duplicate of bug #1596020. Something is very strange regarding sudo on your system. I'll have to think about what that could be.

Also, does using the command line work, ie, 'libertine-container-manager create -i test -n "Test", from an ssh session or Unity 7 session?

Thanks!

Just verified that I am able to create a container in a Unity8 desktop session in latest yakkety with the same version of libertine.

dinamic, is that a desktop session of Unity 8 or are you running from a mobile device? Do you have enough space to create a new container? Does your current user have root access? As townsend mentioned, it would be great to see the results of running `libertine-container-manager create`, which you might be able to run from the Ubuntu Terminal App in Unity 8.

[dinamic (dinamic6661)]

@laaryprice i'm running unity8 on a desktop pc (x86), i have 23,1 GB free space :> and yes i have root access (pixel is admin account). running 'libertine-container-manager create -i test -n "Test"' in unity7, looks ok, i don't see any error messages, now to restart in unity8 and see if i see the container

[dinamic (dinamic6661)]

@larryprice @townsend success! so looks like using the command line works, i can see the container in libertine, and i've managed to install and run "geany" see attached screenshot

[fcole90 (fcole90)]

I have the same problem. Using the command 'libertine-container-manager create -i test -n "Test"' I have been able to create a container successfully, altrough I am not able to install anything, al least not from the Libertine App.

[fcole90 (fcole90)]

Sorry, I didn't wait enough. In the end I was able to install gedit from the libertine app. So, only creating the container from within the app is bugged.

[Christopher Townsend (townsend)]

Ok, I just reproduced this on a Yakkety machine. I'm thinking we have some sort of missing dependency somewhere, but I will investigate.

  * This creates a LibertineApplication which wraps up the starting of a
    container. This way we can mock creations of an Application.

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Rework the whole way we handle updating the necessary system files for
    unprivileged LXC's: (LP: #1598785)
    - Add new script that does the updates.
    - Add sudoers file for this script.
    - Remove the password dialog in the UI.
  * Add functionality to "favorite" the Libertine scope upon first
    installation of the Puritine click package. (LP: #1602397)
  * Bump version to 1.3.

  [ Larry Price ]
  * Allow adding all forms of additional archives to containers.
  * Support adding private PPAs inside of a container. (LP: #1599882)

I Got the 1.3+16.10.20160721.2-0ubuntu1

And now the "Configure option for container creation" "Ok" button come back immediately to the "Welcome" with "Install" button screen. No message , No error.

After a while : "Creating container yakkety failed'

~/.cache/upstart : more application-legacy-libertine-1469368841848271.log

[Christopher Townsend (townsend)]

@mvidal,

Hmm, you most definitely have a different issue than what this bug is about. Seems like ~/.local/share/libertine/ContainersConfig.json might be corrupted.

Could you delete that file and try again? If the problem still occurs, could you please open a new bug report and attach this file to the report?

Thanks!
