Termux-packages: How to install Debian 9.2 chroot termux?

[stainslav]

As on listed in debians Official site that the Debian 9.2 is released with a lots of customization which package I have to choose to install Debian chroot in termux?
@Fronwall
Please tell me

[SDRausty]

First pkg install debootstrap proot,
example usage debootstrap --arch=armel stretch stretch http://ftp.debian.org/debian/.
Then setup proot to mount the container. A sample proot start.sh includes:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh
proot -0 -r ~/stretch -b /dev/ -b /sys/ -b /proc/ -b /data/data/com.termux/files/home /bin/env -i HOME=/root TERM="xterm-256color" PS1='[root@stretch \W]$ ' PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin /bin/bash --login

chmod 700 start.sh
./start.sh +enter/return
Enjoy 🎼

@sdrausty How to fix this Error ?

My android arch armv7l Android
installed everything through the wiki.

[SDRausty]

@Deathlive try armhf. What version of Android do you have? Also you can always ask at #debian IRC and https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/ Good luck.

[SDRausty]

@Deathlive actually changing /bin/env to /usr/bin/env in start.sh solves your question. Thanks for taking interest.

[Demigoddd]

@sdrausty
Sorry, but no matter how I tried it, it's still a mistake

[sp4rkie]

though no errors are reported while executing

debootstrap --arch=armel stable stable http://ftp.debian.org/debian/

the new rootfs is not sane.

A short look at /data/data/com.termux/files/home/stable
(after debootstrap finishes) shows
there is some partly uncompressed files and other crap (mostly
with .l2s.* in the name) around. e.g.

/data/data/com.termux/files/home/stable/bin/sh -> dash

which simply isn't there. So I think at least in debootstrap there still
are some problems. Maybe there is some interference with the termux-exec
package (which is also installed here). I didn't dig deeper into this yet.

[sp4rkie]

there is another problem when using the --foreign flag of debootstrap. I used this flag because (to ease the debugging) it allows to split the whole process into an 'initial unpack phase' and a 'completion phase'. Only the 'completion phase' executes in the guest system.

But that does not work because debootstrap is patched with the shebang fix which fails (and. is not required anyway) in the guest system.

[sp4rkie]

sorry, the currently proposed https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Debian howto and https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Debootstrap termux-debootstrap-package does not work for me to setup any debian system.

Based on the original Debian debootstrap script I just setup a new repo with a now (hopefully) working fully automated Debian 9 (stretch) install.

https://github.com/sp4rkie/debian-on-termux

I tested it in on freshly installed termux environment (just reinstalled the termux-app from scratch).

Another test went well on my productive termux machine (LG K3 LTE). No problems seen so far.

Architecture is:

#  uname -a
Linux localhost 3.18.19+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 9 10:33:30 IST 2016 armv7l Android

Possibly fix your architecture near the top lines. The script takes a while to complete. Enjoy:-)

[Demigoddd]

@sp4rkie Thanks It works.

[sp4rkie]

thanks! Issue can be closed I think (but I'm not allowed to do that)

[sp4rkie]

@Deathlive
this is out of scope here. Please open a new issue. Though I just tried on the quick. You must run nmap as normal user not as root. It appears to work if you remove -0 from enter_deb in this case. Otherwise nmap erroneously thinks it's running as root using root features which cause the problems.

[sp4rkie]

added some options to enter_deb:

Usage: enter_deb [options]
enter_deb: enter the installed debian guest system

  -0 - mimic root (default)
  -n - prefer regular termux uid (termux-uid)
  -p - mount proc (requires a patched proot package)

entries according to the current termux-uid now are created in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group on the Debian guest system.

[Demigoddd]

@sp4rkie
Can i use enter_deb -n -p and how to install patched proot package ?

[sp4rkie]

you can either edit /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and extract the new enter_deb from debian_on_termux.sh manually
or
simply reinstall from scratch with debian_on_termux.sh

I uploaded a patched proot package here:

Pulseaudio not working in prooted debian termux

[fireguy123]

I'm getting a dpkg error when trying to install any package or run the dpkg configure option to fix.

root@localhost:/data/data/com.termux/files/home/stretch/root# apt install dirmngr
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
root@localhost:/data/data/com.termux/files/home/stretch/root# dpkg --configure -a
dpkg: error: error creating new backup file '/var/lib/dpkg/status-old': Permission denied

It seems to be complaining about not being able to create a backup status file. I'm running termux on Android 10 with the Pixel 1. Any ideas?

[JanuszChmiel]

I have very positive experience with debian script which have been created by sp4rkie
Debootstrap preconfigures system so also Dbus run in many sitautions. If no, run needed apps by typing dbus-launch app name&
Pulseaudio from Debian can be used to stream sound bz loading simple protocol protocol. Simple protocol plazer gives good responsiveness. But The best reliable scenario is to use Unix socket and Pulseaudio for Termux.
To use graphical apps based on X11 use tigervnc or XVFB in combination with X11vnc.
Then zou can use various VNC client apps. Such as simple remote which have been created bz MR Jordanov.

Zou can use Openbox even on Android 8 and newer with no need to use workaround presented inside Archlinux script from MR Raustz. Workaround allow to switch between apps, it emulate /proc/stat
because Android 8 and newer estrict access to this file.
Marco need to access this file. And without this work around, it will crash.
Openbox do not need this file while using it and even switching between windows is supported.
LXDE will work by The best way. Some LXDE integrated app want to use shared memory.
In some cases, integrated LXDE apps will work in some cases no, you have to try it.

@yeyushisi report bugs here; https://github.com/sp4rkie/debian-on-termux also
apt-get install termux-tools

[yeyushisi]

谢谢了，大意给落下啦

[sp4rkie]

when I install the termux-app from scratch 'termux-tools' (Basic system tools for termux) package is always included by default.

so why is 'termux-tools' missing here at all?

[yeyushisi]

是啊怎么回事呢 @sp4rkie 我还想问你呢

[yeyushisi]

$ sh debian_on_termux.sh
