I want to install the Terminal app on Ubuntu touch. When I ssh to the nexus4 device and run sudo apt-get install terminal I get this error.

sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified

  • Looks like this is a problem with sudo. Can you sudo any other commands?

The package you want is ubuntu-terminal-app, but it's been installed by default in the device images for weeks now. Try going to the Apps lens and using the search (upper-left corner) to find it.

  • Thanks for that. I opened qtcreator and went to tools, ubuntu touch device control and went to ssh to device. Worked like a charm. I install the terminal app and file manager app. I then went to search on the apps screen and found them. Thank you again.

I wrote a script which I use to add a load of applications post-flashing. You might want to try it:-

Line 57 has the important bit, where it specifies which apps to install. You might want to trim (or expand) that list. I added the touch-coreapps and touch-collection PPAs and all the apps along with ssh, vnstat and pastebinit.

  • Do I have to move the post-flash.sh to my phone to run it. Can i move a movie file to the phone as well. (mp4) I not sure how to do this.
