JuNest on Android

[theoden8]

Tried to install on my Android. No such file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42449030/junest/junest-armv71.tar.gz aswell as no ARCH variable defined (used uname).

JuNest has still not fully tested on Android. The script should set the variable ARCH as arm.

Do you know what the command uname -m returns?

The correct link for the image is:

I didn't know that. Everything fails eventually when trying to do:

chmod +x junest jchroot
chmod: junest: Operation not permitted.
chmod: jchroot: Operation not permitted.

Ehh!

Did you have chance to run uname -m? I am wondering what you get from that command.

The fact that the operation is not permitted might be because those file are owned by a different user. Can you type:

whoami
ls -l junest

[theoden8]

uname -m
armv71

whoami
unknown uid 10135

cd .junest/bin
ls -l junest
----rwxr-x 1 1000 1015 7434 <date> junest 

The folder location is my SD card.

Ok, the architecture looks ok. The problem seems to due to the fact that your current user (10135) is different from the owner of junest (1000).

Also, ~/.junest is usually the directory where the JuNest image should be located. So, if you are installing JuNest by cloning the repository it would be better to place the junest script elsewhere, for instance ~/junest .

I am planning to try using JuNest on Android by myself as soon as I get my Android phone working again :) it is getting too slow and I might need to reset it.

[theoden8]

I failed to use wget, curl or even firefox do download the repository. So, I just pulled my microSD and cloned the repo on my computer. As for ~/.junest location, I don't believe I have enough space for it on internal memory.

[fsquillace]

That probably means the wget and curl are not available there. I need to create a tutorial which will explain how to get JuNest in Android.

[theoden8]

Not exactly, I did have either through Terminal IDE program. Both just throw SSL_CERTIFICATE error or something related.

Will work on this for the next months. An interesting reference for a Debian image on Android that might be useful: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuntubuntu

Few useful references for creating the app. Can be actually useful once the proof of concept will be completed.

• An interesting Android app that download the image
• linuxonandroid
• android development
• busybox code busybox app

Also, please join the group if you want to discuss the way the proof of concept should be done.
