cfs-noguimerge.sh built kernel doesn't resolve 'either binder or ashmem kernel drivers are not loaded' issue #2

Open sja45uk opened 2 years ago

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

Booting Ubuntu 22.04 with kernel 5.15.0-android doesn't change failure to run Anbox properly with --software-rendering switch. Neither does booting Ubuntu 22.04 with kernel 6.0.1 built using 'Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Installer' and doing same command. It remains to be determined if the cfs-noguimerge.sh script or either of the other two scripts is capable of generating a 6.0.1-android kernel that doesn't exhibit the same problem. See attached screenshot for result with default kernel (based on kernel 5.15) compiled and installed by cfs-noguimerge.sh :

Thanks for reporting back. Glad the script works as expected :heart:

To the trouble above, i will investigate together with you how to resolve that.

First of all, did you try the instructions here already?

Hey steve, thanks for reporting :heart_decoration:

I see that this command you issued first did succeed: $ sudo mkdir /dev/binder

Your linux system didn't give you an error after issuing this command at first state.

The second time you tried that command $ sudo mkdir /dev/binder it did throw a:

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/dev/binder’: File exists

I think that it successfully created that directory which then binder is visible through that directory to Anbox:

binder: true
binderfs: false
ashmem: true

Note that: This directory will most likely be lost after rebooting your computer. To get that permanently you may need to follow these instructions also:

https://github.com/anbox/anbox-modules/issues/50#issuecomment-807979822

Is your initial error also gone i guess? (Failed to start as either binder or ashmem....) : image

If yes then it looks like it's working already but cannot connect to the anbox socket: Failed to connect to socket /run/anbox-container.socket: No such file or directory

So we need to investigate how to resolve that :smiley:

For the start i suggest to check if /dev/binder is created and then reinstall anbox. This may fix it - if not report back and i will try to assist further.

I will also make these informations that we are now collecting as an information on the readme here and may include some fixes or routines in the build script also. :sunglasses:

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

I agree with your analysis, but just have no idea how to progress this without your guidance.

SoulInfernoDE commented 2 years ago

can you try this:

sudo snap start anbox && sudo systemctl start anbox-container-manager.service && sudo systemctl enable anbox-container-manager.service && sudo snap set anbox software-rendering.enable=true && sudo snap restart anbox.container-manager

and then:

anbox.appmgr

and if not working again:

anbox session.manager

oohw - you don't have the snap version i see. Hmh we need to investigate how to start and restart the container manager i think.

can you also show/check the output of this command: ls -al /dev/binderfs/

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

I think there has been a misunderstanding as I am not running anbox within snap:

steve@DELL:~ $ anbox version anbox 0.0~git20211020-2build1-Ubuntu steve@DELL:~ $ which anbox /usr/bin/anbox steve@DELL:~ $

SoulInfernoDE commented 2 years ago

No problem. You still can use or try the commands mentioned. At least the last ones.

I have digged into your actual trouble with the socket error and it seems that the container manager is not running yet, thus missing an running anbox android.img

Anbox consists of two parts:

The session manager connects with the container manager

So i recommend to follow this article as you are using the git version:

https://github.com/anbox/anbox/blob/master/docs/runtime-setup.md

This article will point you to download an anbox android image from here: https://build.anbox.io/android-images/2018/07/19/

When downloaded please follow the official instructions for using this image with anbox:

https://github.com/anbox/anbox/blob/master/docs/build-android.md#run-anbox-with-self-build-androidimg

If you are able to get it working let me know, otherwise we will continue with your next issue if there is any 👍

best regards

SO NOT KERNEL 6.0.1-android BUT AGAIN 5.15.0-android! SHOULD I FIND A SEPARATE .config FILE AND WHAT SHOULD IT CONTAIN TO AUTOMATICALLY BUILD 6.0.1?

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

HOW DO I ENSURE I GET THE CORRECT 6.0.1 KERNEL?

$ ./createscriptenv.sh Scripts environment creation v0.1a by github.com/SoulInfernoDE /home/steve/.scripts already exists. Exiting.

LOOKING AT THE ~/.scripts/cfs_noguimerge.sh SCRIPT, I THINK THAT IT DEPENDS ON

cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) ./.config # we copy your current configuration file from /boot/config to the kernel folder and rename it to .config

SO I AM GOING TO BOOT UBUNTU WITH THE 'OFFICIAL' 6.0.1 KERNEL AND TRY AGAIN

SoulInfernoDE commented 2 years ago

Hey Steve, thanks for reporting back. First of all - ashmem and binder is successfully installed and loaded on your current kernel according to your testings. What is now missing is the container manager of anbox - that is due to the error: unable to connect to anbox socket..

Secondly yes anbox should also work on kernel 6. For this please delete the kernel folder in your downloads folder before restarting my build script. For kernel 6.x you also need a second cfsnoguimerge.sh script located here:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SoulInfernoDE/compile-kernel-from-source/v6.x/nogui/cfs_noguimerge.sh

Download it and rename it to cfs-noguimerge6.sh for example. You can then copy it to ~./scripts also if you like to when you need to use it again. Remember to delete the kernel folder in download and move the kernel deb files out of download or delete them also every time you want to use it again. ℹ️

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

SO ANSWERING Y PRODUCES A WARNING AND NO OUTPUT AFTER 2.5 HRS, BUT THE SYSTEM MONITOR SHOWS THE CPU IS STILL RUNNING AT 100%

SoulInfernoDE commented 2 years ago

Booting with the official 6 kernel will give you the config file needed for your environment with the configuration options that have changed in between 5.x and 6.x for your computer.

To build a 6.x kernel from source you can use my compile from source no gui script ( cfs_noguimerge.sh., take the one from v6.x branch) I posted above. It seems you found a bug, I will try to fix that now. I fixed the 404 download bug. Sorry for that. Please re-download the script from last link above and try again. It should now work and build your 6.x kernel without issues. (The .config fragment file is needed for 6.x to patch ASHMEM back into the config file which did not succeed last time as you had a 404 file not found download error which i fixed now)

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately, we are having to talk about building the android version of two kernels (5.15.0 & 6.0.1), so I am not clear which instruction you give me applies to which build. It is not clear to me why I would need to delete the kernel in ~/Download files and to which kernel the instruction applies. I will go ahead and delete it on the assumption that it applies to both and just gives the CPU a lot more work to do!

Sure the instructions are the same for every kernel version. Deletion of the kernel folder is needed because: The script creates this folder and pulls the source from kernel.org in it. If you re-run the script it checks if the folder already exists. If yes you are going to compile the same kernel source again- this is due sometimes someone wants to continue with compiling when it aborts for some errors like a missing dependency. If i put some code in it to delete the folder you need to rebuild from scratch if something doesn't work immediatly. So deleting the kernel folder will create a new one and pulls the source code for the version you want to in it and then unpacks it.

About the no such file or directory error: i made a small code change - it seems your linux system is handling path environment a little else than mine. With that change it should be universally working. Can you redownload and test it again please.

You can build 6.x on a 5.x running kernel. The cleanest path is to boot into a 6.x kernel for building a 6.x kernel because of the config file. My build script otherwise copy the 5.x kernel config file and adds the missing lines and changes that were made in 6.x in it. But sometimes on your specific computer model you have some drivers or anything else that are build as module for example. If such a line is added in 6.x and was missing in 5.x the standard option for this driver will be set / selected which is often (yes) or (no) instead of (module). This normally doesn't affect your all day work with your linux mostly. But it burns the driver into the kernel instead of a loadable module. To update such a driver you need to rebuild the kernel then also because this specific driver is not a module but included in the kernel. Installing a mainline 6.x kernel on your computer will also select some decisions /yes/no/module) to the config file for your specific hardware.

Thats the only reason why i use 6.x to build a 6x kernel normally... ..but most of the time it is trivial and not needed.

SoulInfernoDE commented 2 years ago

Can you redownload the build script and try again? - I made another mistake with the last fix so sorry for that i fixed it again. I did set the wrong dot and moved it to the correct location in the script. I also added the ASHMEM module from anbox modules and a patch that fixes the dkms creation for 6.x kernels.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SoulInfernoDE/compile-kernel-from-source/v6.x/nogui/cfs_noguimerge.sh

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

I am afraid that whatever you have done has not resolved the problem. To try and compile/build/install the 6.01 kernel I did the following:

$ rm -rf ~/.scripts $ rm -rf ~/Downloads/kernel* $ cd ~/Documents/GitHub/compile-kernel-from-source/create_scripts_environment_for_terminal_direct_use/ $ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SoulInfernoDE/compile-kernel-from-source/v6.x/nogui/cfs_noguimerge.sh $ chmod +x cfs_noguimerge.sh

I tried the following, but nothing was copied to ~/.scripts so I renamed the script and executed it in place. $ ./createscriptenv.sh

$ mv cfs_noguimerge.sh cfs_noguimerge_v6.sh $ ./cfs_noguimerge_v6.sh | tee > cfs_noguimerge_v6.log

I attach the log file for your perusal.

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

It seems that another linux kernel (6.0.3) was released as stable over the weekend, and I successfully used the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel Builder to install it and rebooted. This means that my target became to build and install kernel-6.0.3-android to run Anbox with the latest kernel modules. I downloaded your latest compile-kernel-from-sources package, and made it available with create_scripts_environment_for_terminal_direct_use/enablescriptenv.sh, which I used to run cfs_noguimerge.sh and created a kernel-7.0.3-android overnight. I will check my cfs_noguimerge_v7.0.3.log soon, to see if there were any more issue and let you know that it boots and the results of running 'anbox system-info', 'anbox session-manager --software-rendering' and 'anbox.appmgr'. However, I would also appreciate your guidance on how to pare back the number of kernel installs, build files etc in my boot and Ubuntu 22.04 partitions to the latest stable 5.x and 6.x versions.

INSTALL LIBRARIES TO IMPROVE DEBUGGING

$ sudo apt install android-libunwind The following NEW packages will be installed android-libunwind $ sudo apt install android-libunwind-dev The following NEW packages will be installed android-libunwind-dev libbsd-dev libmd-dev

THE FOLLOWING ALSO SEEMS TO BE RELEVANT

So I checked and it seems that modern versions of systemd allow conditions to be set in the service file. If those conditions are not met, the service doesn't start. The systemd.unit man page has a whole section on this. I suggest you start by reading it, then go through the anbox service file and check what conditions it has set for running. Some systemd users here can probably take you on from there.

TRYING TO LOCATE SERVICE FILE

$ sudo find / -name anbox-container-manager.service -print /usr/lib/systemd/system/anbox-container-manager.service

$ sudo cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/anbox-container-manager.service [Unit] Description=Anbox Container Manager Documentation=man:anbox(1) After=network.target Wants=network.target ConditionPathExists=/var/lib/anbox/android.img

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

$ sudo ls -l /var/lib/anbox/android.img ls: cannot access '/var/lib/anbox/android.img': No such file or directory

HUNT FOR IT IN THIS PARTITION

SO I JUST NEED TO COPY ONE OF THE ANDROID IMAGES TO WHERE THE SERVICE FILE IS LOOKING

$ sudo cp -p /home/steve/Downloads/Android_down/Anbox_214/anbox-work/android.img /var/lib/anbox/

CAN YOU ENLIGHTEN ME WHAT IS THE MAJOR BLOCK AND HOW DO I OVERCOME IT??

SoulInfernoDE commented 2 years ago

Nice Steve. https://github.com/SoulInfernoDE/compile-kernel-from-source/issues/2#issuecomment-1289041856 Very nicely done here. So yes container manager needs the anbox Android image I mentioned. To the binder_linux.ko You DON'T NEED IT! If you have built your kernel including binder YOU WON'T GET A MODULE! ❤️ Only patched ASHMEM module is needed now. But remember the ppa of morphis is unmaintained. You cannot install BINDER as a module..

To make binder usable to anbox you need to sudo mkdir /dev/binder

and

sudo mount -t binder binder /dev/binder

Same for binderfs if you choose to use that instead (only with newest sources from anbox possible)

sudo mkdir /dev/binderfs sudo mount -t binder binder /dev/binderfs

sja45uk commented 2 years ago

I HAVE JUST TRIED TO PUT AN ENTRY IN /ETC/FSTAB TO MAKE THE MOUNT PERSISTENT

As I said you do not have a binder module and you wont get a binder module and YOU DO NOT NEED IT with your android kernel :-)

Binder is now PART OF YOUR KERNEL
