Huavei Mate 10 lite and file system extraction fault

[JanuszChmiel]

Dear specialists, I Am afraid, that I have found some very complex programmers issue between some Kernel feature of Android 7.0 which run on my HUAWEI Mate 10 lite smart phone. When ever I try to install Debian, I Am getting error while extracting file system. That some support files can not be created. To help you debug this complex problem, I have enabled The Proot debug level to The highest possible 9 value. I have allowed both app dialogs to help you to correct The problems. Now, I Am running Userland from The stable Google Play BETA channel. How could I help you more? Or unfortunately, this specific kernel from Huavei will never allow Me to run Userland effectively, because some of its kernel service do not work as it should? This phone model will not get official newer update. And I do not have money to buy never model from Huavei. It also uses build in special antivirus, which is being powered by Avast anti virus. This app can not be officially removed or turned off permanently. The similar issue exist on my Samsung SMGT 550 with Anroid 6.1. This Samsung kernel uses real time kernel protection routines so I Am afraid, if also Huavei do not use The similar techniques and if those techniques are not The cause of my issues. Sure! Phone is perfectly usable while using it from its Android official side. All apps are working, sound reactivity, perfect stability. But Proot calls some kernel routines and I have also found out, that When I have tried some other distros which uses Proot from Termux, that I have got warning that some symbolic link have been changed from 6 to 8. And I do not know, if it is normal, or if is it A signal, that kernel is doing something bad on real time which is causing problems with Linux emulators based on Proot. Thank you very much for yours time. I will try to send you prootdebuglog because I do not know, if it will be automatically send to you when I have enabled error reporting on.

Thanks to The one very kind Proot programmer, who made Proot for Termux with The whole team, I have got A cause of my issues. The problem is that Huavei 10 mate lite uses case insensitive filesystem. As A result, some file names are causing crashes and files can not be created. Unfortunnately, it is not trivial issue to solve. Since It is impossible to safely simply reformat all phone build in partitions to other file system which will not be case insensitive filesystem You. There are many other Android devices, which are using such file systems. And as A result, such devices can not use Proot and Linux distributions for now. The paradox situation is, that all Termux packages can work including The most complex ones. I Am discussing about it with kind and very advanced programmers of Proot for Termux. so if there will be some solution, it will be available. But I AM afraid, that I will have to access The sad true, that some file systems are case insensitive, and as A result, I will not be able to use Linux which uses Proot.
