maybe it's better to pack everything together so you don't have to answear to how to install a package....

sudo apt install lxqt.

I can't because the rootfs would become too big and it would take me days if not weeks to upload it with my connection if that's what you mean.

For me it is way easier to answer questions like this than packing everything together

Kill termux-x11 app then exit the chroot with the exit command and stop the chroot with linux-deploy stop command.

You should be in termux now, download openssl with this command:

pkg install openssl

Once you have done this enter the chroot with linux-deploy start command and type the following commands inside the chroot:

sudo mkdir -p /tmp/runtime-android sudo chown android:android /tmp/runtime-android sudo chmod 755 /tmp/runtime-android

Then exit the chroot again and stop it once more.

Now start the chroot with linux-deploy start -w command and when it launches termux-x11 app you have to stay inside the app up until the "Service Created" toast appears, only then you can leave the termux-x11 app and go back to termux.

some errors have been fixed but still not working.

maybe termux:x11 changed their xdg runtime path. change the path in the script or in the x11 app. also chmod +x termux-x11 in chroot.

Try to run termux-x11 normally, does it give any error or does it create the socket as expected, aka without any permission denied error.

This may be an error related to the fact that you are using Android 11/12 since this exact same script gives me no error on Android 7

[namyunseong97]

It seems to be working abnormally depending on the Android version.

Could you please give me your backup of termux setting? By executing

termux-setup-storage

AND

tar -zcf /sdcard/profile.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files ./home ./usr

I will now try to make a backup of my prefix but depending on how big it ends up I will not be able to upload it since I have a very slow connection and if it's too big it may end up taking serveral days.

As a last resort have you done this:

echo 'allow-external-apps = true' >> ~/.termux/termux.properties termux-reload-settings

I forked the repo, automated some stuffs, fixed X11 with newer android/termux vesions, added CI to automate the rootfs build and other changes. It is still experimental but y'all might want to take a look https://gitlab.azka.li/azkali/linux-deploy-termux-x11-debian
