Howto : chroot debian with X support instead libertine ubuntu

moodroid

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

BTW I've updated https://gitlab.com/bouleetbil/ubports-scripts/ and test it from scratch with my new redmi 9

@Bouleetbil

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?

@Bouleetbil
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.

@Bouleetbil same error on Fairphone 5, did you manage to fix it?

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