Do you want to keep LoD alive ? Sign this petition

I have built these images to find a better replacement for Samsung's Ubuntu image which has many bugs due to compatibility issues.

Void Linux

Void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic Linux® kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.

It is available for the Intel x86®, ARM® and MIPS® processor architectures; Software packages can be built natively or cross compiling through the XBPS source packages collection.

Void Linux is an interesting alternative to Ubuntu and other Linux distros.
It has Xfce4 installed and works smoothly in my Note9.
Faster in starting up than Samsung's Ubuntu image and less memory usage!!!!

Devuan Linux

Devuan GNU+Linux is a fork of Debian without systemd that offers users control over their system by avoiding unnecessary entanglements and ensuring Init Freedom. Devuan’s stable release is now 2.0.0 ASCII.

The image was built using Devuan’s stable release 2.0.0 and has more than 50K packages for aarch64. It has Xfce4 installed and runs fast in my Note9 without issues.

DOWNLOAD

openSUSE Tumbleweed

The Tumbleweed distribution is a pure rolling release version of openSUSE containing the latest stable versions of all software instead of relying on rigid periodic release cycles. The project does this for users that want the newest stable software.

Thanks to openSUSE Build Service, building any package should be so easy beside downloading thousands of pre-built packages. Xfce4 is installed with some tools.

How to build your own

Code:
1-Download the zip file and extract the image file
Link

2-Mount the image

Code:

sudo mount -o loop,sync build_your_own.img /home/your_user/your_directory

You should see 1 file and 4 directories
/dev /devro LoDVersion /share /tmp
Note:You must keep these and never overwrite them

3-Copy your Linux’s system files and directories (rootfs) with all symbolic links to the mounted image
Note: you must maintain files’ ownership and permissions

4-Create the directory if it does not exist

Code:

/etc/init.d/

6-Create a script shell file init_container.sh inside the directory /etc/init.d/

Code:

#! /bin/sh setsid /bin/bash --login >/devro/tty1 2>&1 < /devro/tty1

7-Change the directories, files and symbolic links ownership to

Code:

chown -R 1638400000:1638400000

8-Move the file LoDVersion to /etc/ directory

9- Un-mount the image file

10- Copy it to your device.

11-Add it in LoD and run the terminal mode

Congratulations !!! you built your own system’s image.

Awesome! (I'm not a Ubuntu fan). I will give it a test for sure

InsertCoin_Pls · Oct 4, 2019

Awesome!!! I'm going to try it on my tab s4

Edit: I can't conect to internet in Void and Devuan give me an error when I try to run it. The error says "LoD container error. Cannot run this LoD container. Close the Linux on Dex app and try again."

I get the same error when trying to run Devuan on my S5e/Note 9. If I try in terminal mode, it flashes this screen and then immediately closes.

Yeah, Devuan wont work because of sudo and your devices' kernel .

I have updated the image and it should work now.

BTW can you run Void Linux and post the output of the following commands :

Code:

sudo ping -c 5 google.com

Code:

sudo cat /etc/resolv.conf

Code:

sudo cat /etc/group

Code:

sudo cat /etc/passwd

Done using Void Linux terminal mode on my Note 9. Also worth noting that Devuan works now, on both of my devices.

Forgot to share this image. There's an error when I start Void Linux, but it doesn't seem to interfere with anything.

It looks like the internet is working on your device.
Ping will not work if you do not have an internet connection.

can you run it again without sudo

Code:

ping -c 5 "google.com"

This is a permission issue related to policykit daemon.

You can ignore it because it cannot be solved so easily in all LoD's images including Samsung's Ubuntu image.
Solving it wont make a big difference. All should work.

Can you share how you are generating the Linux on Dex images? I would like to make an ArchLinux image. I tested the voidlinux image (currently writing this message from it) and works really well, much more better than running on VNC since graphics work much better and mouse/keyboard input, I did have to install some font packages because xfce-terminal and firefox looked horrible. The issue I have with voidlinux is the limited repository, for example, I want to install PHP to do some development but it isn't available for the aarch64 port.

I think internet is working fine on your device ... have you installed a web-browser on Void?

Can you share how you are generating the Linux on Dex images? I would like to make an ArchLinux image. I tested the voidlinux image (currently writing this message from it) and works really well, much more better than running on VNC since graphics work much better and mouse/keyboard input, I did have to install some font packages because xfce-terminal and firefox looked horrible. The issue I have with voidlinux is the limited repository, for example, I want to install PHP to do some development but it isn't available for the aarch64 port.

You can build an image file for any linux distro which supports aarch64 architecture by modifying Samsung's Ubuntu image file.
However, it is difficult to make them work prefectly on your android devices because of the kernel setup and the security issues.
To make it simple
Just download the image, mount it in your Linux PC, remove everything except the device special files and copy the new OS rootfs to the mounted image.

I wrote a script that downloads and generates the image, also I tried to strip needed components into a "Template" directory, where I placed the lod_daemon, Xtightvnc binaries as the init.d/init_container.sh and vnc.sh. The issue is when I try to add the image on LinuxOnDex app it says invalid image format. I even tried by taking your void image deleting everything and copying the archlinux image content into your img file and when I transfer it into my galaxy s9+ and try to open it on dex app I get the invalid image format again... maybe it is ext3 instead of ext4?

In any case I uploaded the scripts here mega_nz/#!lVEjzazL!cpuxEf_W6m-9GdytwzQMr0OWplXrqxylrHifQdJcOkw, would be nice to make a github repo or something with the required scripts so people can create their own images after everything is sorted out.

Here are the main scripts for easier inspection:

# cp $(which qemu-aarch64-static) loddir/usr/bin

#
# Finally chroot into loddir, then run 'qemu-aarch64-static bash'

Few screens from my note9 running in DeX mode
Excellent job @@[email protected] :good:

frankrendon · Oct 7, 2019

get "LoD container error. cannot run this LoD container. close the linux on Dex app and try again.
downloaded, extracted and created lod folder to place .img. did i miss a step? parrot OS would be amazing to run on DeX.

edit** has started working!

After many tears I finally got archlinux working under LinuxOnDex thanks to @root@ for the tip it was really crazy becayse the /etc/ folder couldn't be deleted, it seems removing the LoDVersion file and replacing it again breaks something on the image that makes it look like invalid, anyways... I'm not sure which files on /etc/ make it a valid image yet...

ScreenShot! imgur.com/a/0V0oVHj

The image file was initially like 400mb but in the process of getting it to work I added gcc and many other stuff that made it grow like to almost 2 Gb.

Here is the download link for those that would like to test it:
mega.nz/#!4MVGVCrY!bMwFynLS-4zy7cxT2OzRZS7tn7slvfkTBme0mxzEuQ

Also for anyone interested I uploaded to GitHub some initial shell scripts that I wrote while trying to generate a working image. They need more work to automate the entire process since I discovered lot of stuff while working on this but they serve as a guidance for future work.

Super awesome mate, great work and thanks for your time. Keep up with more linux OS and it will be nice to see deepin OS too, Donwload page:

Super nice looking OS

I'm not much of a developer and what I do know is all windows based so I'm completely out of my league here but I was wondering if it would be possible to run Manjaro on Dex?
I understand that changes would need to be made and I'm willing to make those changes myself if someone could point me in the right direction.

According to distrowatch it is aarch64.

[Linux on Dex] Void Linux and others... run different systems in LOD
