        welp. regardless, nothing works. You done great work. But, Im just lost and it doesnt work here and there.

        take your time to see and test if you can make a manual or a full install script. It all got a bit fragmented perhaps?

          Hi @Bouleetbil - I've just tried, and got this:

          phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/ubports-scripts$ ./install.sh
          cp: cannot create regular file '/home/phablet/.config/systemd/user/debian-mount.service': No such file or directory
          Failed to enable unit: Unit file debian-mount.service does not exist.
          

          Any ideas?

          Thanks

            Came out harsh for some reason. But what I meant was, that I really hope to see something that works. Because I long for it!

              @moodroid Hello, I've updated install.sh for create /home/phablet/.config/systemd/user/ if necessary. For me it was created by amazfish

                  going to check it out. Even though Snap is looking promising, I will still do it because of your dedication.

                  Just a little question. Having no password for sudo su I wonder the security risk of it?

                    I've seen that with the fakeroot command it is possible to get a root shell for libertine:

                      Hey thanks for sharing this!

                      I was able to create the environment however apt doesn't work inside the chroot due to a failure of name resolution. I double checked, and my /etc/resolv.conf was successfully copied into the chroot.

                      Not sure if this is a dns issue, since pinging an IP address gives me a 'permission denied' message, even as root.

                      I'm using a fairphone 4, might this be some quirk of my device? Or is there some way to give the chroot environment network access?

                        @Device hello,
                        I've tested with my volla phone devel version and I've the same problem
                        With my pixel3a RC that works.
                        For now I don't know why. Weird I will check

                            @Device Have a look into your host's /etc/group. There are groups called android_net, android_net2 and android_net3. Create these in your chroot with e.g.: sudo groupadd -g 3003 android_net and add yourself to these groups with e.g.: sudo adduser phablet android_net. If this doesn't work add user root to group root, too. BUT AT FIRST (!!!) make a backup of /etc/group with sudo cp -avi /etc/group /etc/group.backup just in case something goes wrong.

                            P.S.: Maybe one of these android_net-groups is enough, i'm no expert. Try for yourself. THIS IS JUST A HINT TO PUT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. As for me i've created all android_-groups in the chroot and added my user and user root to them. This maybe a security risk, i don't really know.

                                @Device You may also have to remove user _apt with e.g.: sudo deluser _apt, otherwise it might not work, too.
