I would be developing for UP for a long time, if something like this would exist.

I've already tried to install ubuntu-sdk on my system (I'm on kubuntu) but never
succeeded. It takes a lot of time to install/deinstall/reinstall the sdk and is no fun at all. 
First time I tried, I was on kubuntu 16.04.  I came as far as having a working IDE,
but the emulator just hung. After the upgrade to 16.10 I am really stuck. ubuntu-sdk
crashes on startup, and qtcreator is gone. So not only it is not working, it also messed
up my system. But hey, I have a Ubuntu Phone, so life is great!

Cheers,
Hans-Peter

PS: Where is the right place to ask for help fixing the sdk?
