I am new to using Ubuntu, and I am trying to get Anbox to work. I followed the instructions for installing the binder and ashmem I am getting this:

ls -l /dev/{ashmem,binder}
ls: cannot access '/dev/binder': No such file or directory
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 55 Apr 10 22:31 /dev/ashmem

I have ran both sudo modprobe ashmem_linux and sudo modprobe binder_linux and nothing. I have tried to research how to fix this issue and not finding anything to help. I do not even know how to log my terminal info to even post what is wrong or what I am doing wrong.

To start, I did the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:morphis/anbox-support<br>
sudo apt update<br>
sudo apt install anbox-modules-dkms<br>
sudo modprobe ashmem_linux<br>
sudo modprobe binder_linux<br>
ls -l /dev/{ashmem,binder}<br>
ls: cannot access '/dev/binder': No such file or directory<br>
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 55 Apr 10 22:31 /dev/ashmem

See https://askubuntu.com/a/1206133/452115 : it seems this is normal, and anbox installation instructions on the website are outdated.

Specifically, binder_linux no longer creates a /dev/binder file. You need a recent (from the "snap" store) version of anbox to support that version of that module. From https://docs.anbox.io/userguide/install.html#install-the-anbox-snap :

snap install --devmode --beta anbox
