I was able to install anbox in ubuntu (~18), successfully used it, but now I'm unable to do the same in latest Lubuntu (~20), what I am getting when i list the kernel modules using

$ ls -1 /dev/{ashmem,binder}

is

ls: cannot access '/dev/binder': No such file or directory

what am i missing?

I was able to overcome this by doing the fallowing clone the repo of the anbox modules

git clone https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules.git

cd

cd anbox-modules

execute

./INSTALL.sh

set up

 sudo modprobe ashmem_linux
 sudo modprobe binder_linux

and REBOOT

    This by far the best info I've found regarding this topic. More importantly, Anbox now works! I wish I could upvote this 100 times.

  • Before proceed with Yadu's answer be sure you have got installed dkms. If dkms not yet installed you should install it: apt install dkms I did it on recent installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and it works.

    This didn't fix it for me.

  • @avidreader610 Did you manage to install it in the meantime? For me it doesn't work too.
