but when I start anbox
anbox launch --package=org.anbox.appmgr --component=org.anbox.appmgr.AppViewActivity
I have this in syslog
ubuntu anbox: Failed to start as either binder or ashmem kernel drivers are not loaded
So how can I get better log from anbox??
You will have to install the kernel modules specified here: https://github.com/anbox/anbox/blob/master/docs/install.md
However the current distribution caters for Ubuntu 19 disco only and not the 20.04 focal release.
The kernel modules are already installed and loaded by default. Anbox is not detecting them.
Was able to start the anbox after running the below command. Kernel modules are available as part of 20.04 but not loaded into the kernel by default
sudo modprobe ashmem_linux
