I'm not particularly tech savvy by any means, but I was recently gifted a very nice Nexus 5 running Ubuntu Touch and I'm having a heck of a time figuring it out even with google searches for instructions.
This is the only functioning mobile device I have now (and am likely to have for some time) and just getting a normal android device is not an option for financial reasons.
I've really only got two main things I need my device to do (run ProtonVPN and TOR or Brave Browser) since all my major needs are web apps... but when I try to google solutions to getting these set up I have a hard time with some of the instructions.
apt-get install doesn't seem to do anything but generate error messages about "not using locking for read only" despite a lot of the results telling me it should do the job, I cannot make heads or tails of the libertine feature, and I could really use some help from a professional.
If anyone can help walk me through what I need to do to get everything up and installed on my new device, I would be very appreciative. I know you all must get bombarded by rookie questions so it means a lot to me if anyone takes the time to actually read this. I didn't really grow up with technology so I'm fairly clueless when it comes to things like this.
Thank you so much for your time!
EDIT: The command I entered was "apt-get install tor", and the console responded with "Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend" and "Unable to locate package tor". I also tried "sudo apt-get install tor" and "apt-get install torbrowser-launcher" since google searches recommended those, but it gave the exact same response.
EDIT2: "sudo mount -o, remount,rw /" does not solve the issue, unfortunately.
EDIT3: Progress! sudo apt-get update ran correctly, and now sudo apt-get install tor finds the correct package. However, during the final stages of installation it seems to encounter an error: "aa-exec: ERROR: profile 'system_tor' does not exist [FAIL]", "invoke-rc.d: initscript tor, action 'start' failed", "Tor was unable to start due to configuration errors." "Please fix them and manually restart the tor daemon using 'service start tor'.
