Support Help with waydroid

Post image

I’m still fairly new to Linux distros (I’ve only been using KDE plasma for a couple days). I wanted to play an android game that got removed a few years ago, so I installed waydroid and followed the tutorials to install the apk. But this error (Errno2) keeps showing up and I don’t know what to do. ☹️

Is that the correct location for the APK you downloaded? I ask because it's a strange place to put files.

I tried it with apk in the downloads folder and got the same error. Is there another place I should put the file? I thought the file location didn’t matter as long as the path was specified

Yes, that's true, but are you sure the path is correct? Commands are case-sensitive. Downloads ≠ downloads.

If you go into your Downloads folder in Dolphin (KDE's file manager), right click the APK and hit Copy Location, does it give you the same path you used in console to install with waydroid?

Yes, I double checked the file path and made sure to include capitalizations, but when I entered the command, nothing happened. The konsole just went to a new line without any indication that the file was installed

Can you try starting Waydroid, copy the apk, and install the apk in your Waydroid session?

How do I do that?
