Shashlik 0.9.3

Posted on by d_ed

Shashlik 0.9.3 rewrites the way the main application is launched, hopefully making startup much more robust.

The updated debian package can be downloaded here.

    Aparently, Shashlik won’t work if Virtualbox is running, just like the Android Emulator:

      Interesting to know, thanks for the link.

      Hopefully we can merge away from needing qemu at some point, we’ll see.
      For now it’s a limitation that I think we’ll just have to bear.

      • biohazara

        Yeah, I imagined so, that’s why I decided to post this, as a FYI.

    • ReNa

      It’s good to post the error message here because I first found it at stack overflow and afterwards here 😉
      ioctl(KVM_CREATE_VM) failed: Device or resource busy

    “The package is of bad quality” “The package doesn’t provide a valid Installed-Size control field. See Debian Policy 5.6.20.” on Ubuntu 14.04LTS 3.19.0-51-generic (posted under 0.9.0 by mistake)

    • yellowcrash10

      I was able to install it successfully on Ubuntu 15.10 using the following commands in terminal:

      sudo dpkg -i '/path/to/shashlik_0.9.3.deb'
      sudo apt-get -f install

      And to install an APK, use this command:

      /opt/shashlik/bin/shashlik-install '/path/to/Android-application.apk'

      I hope this helps!

        Hi all,

        I manage to run the application, but it gets stuck after lunching it… only application icon appears and no action can be done with app.

  • Matthew Hungerford

    Amazing, I got a few 3d games to work. They take a bit to launch, and only seem to work on the first install… but Amazing!

    I also figured out how to rotate the emulator for landscape based games, unfortunately right now it requires hacking the shashlik-run script (disable noskin and add -skin 480×320). Will see if I can add it to the desktop file and pass it down instead.

    • Starbuck2001

      Hi Matthew, any screenshots of those games running?

      • iahnn

        ctrl+F12 to rotate. Hayday and messenger is working. COC fails.

    • Andy de Cleyre

      Try Ctrl+F11 after launching

    • iahnn

      ctrl+F12 to rotate.

      For files with spaces in their names, you have to either put the filename in quotes or put backslashes before spaces.

      That is why the unrecognized arguments start after the first space in the apk’s name. You can also rename the apk to remove the spaces using your filemanager to avoid the problem.

    is there any p2p way to share?

    App/APK hangs under Linux Mint 17.3:
    I can start apk files but it only displays the icon in a window and nothing happens. Where I can find logging messages?

      Today I added “-verbose” command line switch to the emulator_args in line 89 of /opt/shashlik/bin/shashlik-run file and started aninstalled app. Here is the log output:

      Does anyone else has the same behaviour?

      • Stephen Gutknecht

        I did not run into this problem. Mine boots, but doesn’t start apps. I did manage to use Android Studio to attack logcat to the emulator – so I guess it got pretty far. I think “adb shell” can also attach logcat to a device.

    • Stephen Gutknecht

      I have the same problem you do on Ubuntu 14.04, multiple apps just show icon but seem to hang.

  • Fritigern Gothly

    I am very disappointed in this.
    First qapt-deb-installer silently refuses to install this package (0.9.3), then when using software-center to install this it complained about it being a bad package (paraphrased) but it installed it anyway.
    No menu entries were created whatsoever, and running shashlik from the command line seems to be impossible.
    When I went to uninstall the package using Synaptic, it showed a file size of 0bytes.

    All in all, a very very bad result for what was supposed to be an great experience.

  • vsks

    What about option of running without VM on host kernel already built with binder (and maybe other android drivers)?

  • Bogdan Arabadzhi

    Is this project still alive?

  • http://soltesza.wordpress.com/ sola

    Thanks for the hard work guys.

    This project is very important so keep up the good work !

  • David Carlos

    Vou instalar no ubuntu 16.04 LTS KDE.
    I will install on Ubuntu 16.04

    • Caio

      Olá, David! Conseguiu instalar?
      Eu instalei ele aqui no Mint, mas ele apenas instala os “.apk”. Quando tenta rodar o app, ele congela na tela do app e não inicia.
      Aconteceu o mesmo contigo?

      • David Carlos

        Roda ele pelo terminal e verifica o que ele está precisando se é alguma dependência de pacotes não instalados.

      • Leandri

        O mesmo aconteceu comigo, mas já olhei no terminal e não tem nada faltando.

  • Joan Soto (Pollito)

    Is shashlik still alive?

    • https://github.com/koczurekk Kamil Koczurek

      I don’t think so. :

  • Joan Soto (Pollito)

    Good project but i think is dead :(,

    • Bec-Busuck

      shashlik-runtime-env has been updated on their GitHub on September 22, so let’s hope this project is still alive…

  • omg2090

    Sad this project being abandoned. Hopefully Anbox (anbox.io) achieve what Shashlik was trying. I’m really hoping a good quality, open source Android emulator to appear eventually.

    • soad

      All hail anbox ! FYI anbox doesn’t emulate. It simply integrates to host system.

  • Eurico Saldanha de Lemos Neto

    How can I uninstall an app? I am not finding where shashlik install them.
