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.

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?

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?

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!

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

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?

Hey, I cant get it to work. Only get "can not connect to bus.

here is a dump

amazing!

But sorry, I have another question (Keeps the thread on top tough) and that is that I see libertine now in your script. will it messup my already existing libertine setup. because I got firefox up and nice with ad ons. and will it be a conflict?

best regards.

I use this chroot with a physical keyboard and a wireless display as a little computer.

BTW I've added my script for enable wake up on tap on startup https://gitlab.com/bouleetbil/ubports-scripts#enable-wake-up-on-tap-on-startup

Thats amazing of you. I hope this get adopted. I will lean in to it a bit later.

So, two more happy question, I see wayland in your code, does this make interface smoother? At the moment i run Firefox through libertine, some add-ons and its actually better than click apps, including smoothness. However, it can be a touch better like in waydroid, running wayland.

question nr two: Have you tried something more exotic, like Brave or Libre office?

it provided a systemd service for mount debian chroot https://gitlab.com/bouleetbil/ubports-scripts/-/blob/main/.config/systemd/user/debian-mount.service?ref_type=heads

After you can create some alias

#debian chroot
alias debian='/home/phablet/bin/debian-chroot.sh /bin/bash --login'
alias firefox='/home/phablet/bin/debian-chroot.sh firefox'

Hi,

So I tried this, But

sleep 5
umount ${MCHRDIR}/dev/shm
umount ${MCHRDIR}/var/run/dbus/
umount ${MCHRDIR}/run/user/32011

umount ${MCHRDIR}/run
umount ${MCHRDIR}/sys
umount ${MCHRDIR}/proc
umount ${MCHRDIR}/dev/pts
umount ${MCHRDIR}/dev
umount ${MCHRDIR}/tmp

part seems problematic as I have to be a superuser. And I dont know thte command how to start anything from terminal.

Any ideas?

mkdir -p /home/phablet/Documents/debian
sudo debootstrap \
--arch arm64 \
bookworm \
/home/phablet/Documents/debian \
http://deb.debian.org/debian

After entering the first block of code (Create chroot), it was busy doing stuff for about 10 mins, but then eventually failed with:

W: Failure while configuring base packages.  This will be re-attempted up to five times.
W: See /home/phablet/Documents/debian/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package dconf-service is at fault)

Looking thorugh the log file I just see lots of dependency errors, e.g.

dpkg: error processing package firefox-esr (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 dconf-service
 dconf-gsettings-backend:arm64
 libgtk-3-common
 libgtk-3-0:arm64
 chromium
 maliit-inputcontext-gtk3
 firefox-esr

Any ideas?

Thanks,
