Download a script that can install Ubuntu in Termux by typing: git clone https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux.git

example, use this https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux

How about to go with Termux? Honestly, the abilities it has are impressive, really. You can run a lot with Termux. If thats not enought, there is also Ubuntu in Termux which you can install into Termux and boot into it and run your stuff there - that should cover the stuff Termux wont do.

1. termux-setup-storage 2. apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y 3. apt-get install wget -y 4. apt-get install git -y 5. apt-get install proot -y 6. pkg install git build-essential cmake -y 7. git clone https://GitHub.com/xmrig/xmrig.git 8. mkdir xmrig/build && cd xmrig/build 9. cmake .. -DWITH_HWLOC=OFF -DWITH_TLS=OFF && make -j$(nproc) 10. exit 11. exit 12. cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux 13. cd ubuntu-in-termux 14. chmod +x ubuntu.sh 15. ./ubuntu.sh -y 16. ./startubuntu.sh 17. apt update 18. apt upgrade -y 19. apt install python3 python-dev python3-pip 20. apt install git curl wget 21. exit 22. exit 23. cd xmrig/build

I'm not sure why the neofetch command stopped working, the only thing I did since the last time I ran the command and it still worked was installing this to Termux. Now when I run neofetch in regular Termux, I get /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/neofetch: 35: Bad substitution. I'm on the newest version of Termux from F-Droid. Any help would be appreciated.

apt update && apt upgrade apt install proot -y apt install wget -y apt install git git clone https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux ls cd ubuntu-in-termux ls chmod +x * ls ./ubuntu.sh ls ./startubuntu.sh

Get termux from the website not Google play store. Use ubuntu-in-termux. https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux Then xmrig ubuntu build, basic build. https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/build/ubuntu You may need to apt-get install each dependency manually, but it's not as vast as installing it on a PC. Only a few dependencies. I had trouble with uv not found error it was libuv1

Take a look at this: https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux

I think I fix the problem. Find this link. https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux. For anyone who rmend up this problem try this: Installation steps Update termux: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y Install wget: apt-get install wget -y Install proot: apt-get install proot -y Install git: apt-get install git -y Go to HOME folder: cd ~ Download script: git clone https://github.com/MFDGaming/ubuntu-in-termux.git Go to script folder: cd ubuntu-in-termux Give execution permission: chmod +x ubuntu.sh Run the script: ./ubuntu.sh -y Now just start ubuntu: ./startubuntu.sh

I suspect some component was upgraded (glib?) and it use some functions that are not handled well by proot. Report issue to https://github.com/termux/proot/issues in order to have chances get it solved for yourself and others with this "black screen" problem.

I needed to look at your comment for 10 minutes before I got what you mean. So you want containers that run on any POSIX operating systems?

You can do this with ptrace() which is in POSIX, but its going to be slow for i/o heavy applications. Unfortunately POSIX doesn't provide anything else (seccomp would already be a step up). See also proot[1], gVisor[2] and User Mode Linux[3] which all use ptrace().

Documentation does not exist. Just like in best traditions of open source software typically maintained by one person. Look the proot source code instead. Here is the link to extension source code: https://github.com/termux/proot/blob/master/src/extension/link2symlink/link2symlink.c

You'll probably want to do that inside of a proot environment.

Now regarding proot: it can't have higher privileges than your Termux shell session, despite the user "root" which may possibly appear. It was told many times here on Reddit, Termux GitHub and even Wiki (https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/PRoot) that PRoot does not give extra privileges and root user is fake.

I understand the sentiment, but I disagree. From the last time I checked, the big compromise with GNU/Linux phones is still the lack of social media and messaging apps and appstore ecosystem. Android, with root, is every bit as much a computer as a Pinephone and Librem 5, but the opposite isn't true. Termux has PRoot, a user-space implementation of chroot allowing a full distro install. I personally don't have any problem depending on Google, I have a problem with things being locked away with no alternative. Given the option, I will happily accept the risks and void my warray to root.
