Can i swap debian root fs to ubuntu root fs? about exagear-for-termux HOT 26 CLOSED

Yes of course, just extract Ubuntu rootfs to exagear-fs folder. In the next few days I will add an Ubuntu roootfs image to the repository

from exagear-for-termux.

please support proot-distro + termux-X11 version

from exagear-for-termux.

proot-distro installed rootfs path
$PREFIX/var/lib/proot-distro/installed-rootfs/ubuntu

from exagear-for-termux.

please support proot-distro

Exactly what do you want? Do you want Exagear for Termux to run in proot-distro? Or the ability to run proot-distro distributions in Exagear For Termux?

termux-X11 version

Most likely not to implement such

@nagasawa Lol, do you really think that this way you can run x86 distribution on arm system? By default, proot-distro downloads the arm version of distributions (if host system arch is arm), we need to have x86, so the above proposed method will not suit us, and even more so the proposed method does not allow you to run your custom distributions from the exagear-fs folder

from exagear-for-termux.

@nagasawa Try to download proot-distro's distribution archives and exctract it to exagear-fs folder

Do you mean running wine on x86 linux?

from exagear-for-termux.

I want to run windows.

from exagear-for-termux.

Do you mean running wine on x86 linux?

Yes

I want to run windows.

No way. Only UNIX like OS only you can run on Android with minimal overhead. If you want run Windows application use Wine (fast), or emulate Windows in QEMU (veryyyyyy slowwww)

from exagear-for-termux.

If I want to run windows applications, does that mean that arm64 wine is sufficient?

from exagear-for-termux.

@nagasawa No, you need to user x86 Wine, because ARM version of Wine emulates Windows RT - in nutshell, this is a specialized version of Windows for arm, that can not to run a regular Windows application.

There seems to be a project that has made it possible to move it.

@nagasawa
It was a simple app, but it looked like a test project that didn't work.

from exagear-for-termux.

It would be helpful to be able to pass proot options. I want to use --bind.

from exagear-for-termux.

/sdcard & $HOME
I want to bind.

I'd like to see support for more than just bash.

from exagear-for-termux.

grep "root" exagear-fs/etc/passwd | rev | cut -d ':' -f 1 | rev

/bin/zsh

from exagear-for-termux.

    passwd=`grep "root" $DIST_PATH/etc/passwd`
    shell=${passwd##*:}
    shell_name=${shell##*/}

Is amd64 supported?

Is amd64 supported ?

I tried to add amd64 support using the latest Exagear from Huawei, but seems no way

It is very slow, because it uses QEMU to emulate the x86 architecture

Well, I'll think about these functions as soon as I find the time. By the way PR is welcome

from exagear-for-termux.

After Ubuntu 18.04 Canonical decided to stop supporting i386 (x86) systems, so it doesn't makes sense to install Ubuntu in Exagear today.

So, I close this issue, thanks everybody!
