Problem:
Hi,
i'm trying to build anbox from sources. Everything is fine until I'm trying to start anbox through the command anbox session-manager.
The result was:
[ 2017-10-02 12:16:50] [daemon.cpp:58@Run] Failed to connect to socket /run/anbox-container.socket: No such file or directory
So, trying to launch container manager through the command
sudo anbox container-manager --android-image=/home/udoo/android.img --daemon
the result was:
[ 2017-10-02 12:18:50] [container_manager.cpp:98@operator()] boost::filesystem::create_directory: No such file or directory

On the same system, the anbox installation through the snap package went fine, without any problem.
Any solution? Thanks.

Launch systemctl start anbox-container-manager.service in your terminal. It should work :+1:

I have the same problem. Installed in Arch linux with snap so no systemd unit for the container manager.

Failed to start anbox-container-manager.service: Unit anbox-container-manager.service not found.

So much for that.
