I decided to try out Ubuntu Touch using the ubuntu-emulator
to see if I like it. Eventually I will use this to make and test Ubuntu apps.
I ran these commands to install, create and run ubuntu-emulator
:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-emulator
sudo ubuntu-emulator create myinstance
ubuntu-emulator run myinstance
The first two worked fine and when I ran the third, a virtual phone appeared however the virtual screen was blank. I waited and waited, but nothing happened, the screen remained blank/black (on the virtual phone). Then I notice I have to log in terminal. I entered phablet then phablet and logged in fine.
Now I have the terminal logged in and a virtual kernel of the phone but the screen is blank. How can I start the graphics?
Also, once I've got the screen working, can I reduce the window size (it doesn't all fit on one desktop)?
