Howto : chroot debian with X support instead libertine ubuntu

moodroid

Thanks @Bouleetbil
I did try the new command to create the chroot, and it worked fine. But I was still struggling with some of the later steps.
Hopefully this will make it simpler - looking forward to trying it out…

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

here is a dump

Bouleetbil

@Rinkeby hello don't lanch install.sh with root. The scripts use sudo

@Bouleetbil

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

@Rinkeby

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
