DISCLAIMER: Apparently this is already being addressed as a resolution to a bug/feature report I filed at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1647603 So by the time you are reading this, might already be obsolete, hopefully ;) All started with me being frustrated when the onscreen keyboard on my Ubuntu Touch phone overlapped the portion of the window that I was typing text into, so I could not see what I was typing. I quickly shared my complaint online along with a conceptual transparent maliit keyboard, which was just a retouched photo: Well, very soon after help came from a Google Plus user who  + Kugi Javacookies  helped me with QML, because I'm not familiar at all with QML, never used it. This hack is very simple if you don't mind using command line, as it only requires editing one file: /usr/share/maliit/plugins/com/ubuntu/Keyboard.qml on your phone, using editor you like.

This is only if you are going to build containers, and you do not need it to just use the containers once they are already created and distributed. So without a further do, I will cover these topics: Installing qemu-debootstrap Creating containers Using containers Configuring X forwarding for containers (for using GUI apps from container) DESCLAIMER: using qmu-debootstrap in conjunction with qemu-system-arm has one amazing advantage: you can actually fully create the container on your Ubuntu Desktop x86_64 because the qemu-system-arm will emulate ARM architecture. In this article Iam showing you steps for doing everything on your Ubuntu Touch device, but I want you to know that you don't hav...
