#231052 — Installing anbox on Debian 10

Has anyone successfully installed anbox on debian. I have tried a couple 
of different ways starting with the debian stable package. The debian 
stable anbox package requires a lot of manual installation of support 
packages. I never did get things to work. I finally loaded the snap 
version which at least loaded all of the support packaging. 
Unfortunately, anbox still doesn't work. When I try to start anbox I get 
a white screen with the android logo in the middle. The screen 
disappears after a few seconds and then nothing. On a suggestion I ran 
"anbox session-manager" which gave me the following:

$ anbox session-manager
radeon: Failed to get PCI ID, error number -13
[ 2021-01-23 21:29:41] [Renderer.cpp:128@initialize] Failed to select

I have no idea what is wrong. I have had no problems with my Radeon 
graphics card before and have a lot of packages that are graphics heavy. 
Any help will be sincerely appreciated. Please ask if any additional 
information is needed.

Yes, a simple "apt install anbox" just did it for me.

I've needed to do two manual steps:

1) Downloading a blob from https://build.anobox.io.
2) Invoking "service anbox-container-manager restart".

Both were helpfully outlined in README.Debian.

Does not seem to be the case for me.

Cannot help you with that. I have a good package manager already
(apt/dpkg) and refuse to use mediocre one (snap).

$ perl -e 'use POSIX; printf strerror(13)."\n";'
Permission denied

Anbox seems to need EGL/x11 to function. That requires:

1) X
2) An access to /dev/dri/* (see above).
3) libEGL.so.1, from mesa project preferably.

Your setup seems to lack something from this list.

Anbox works on i965. Just a hint.
