installed or not installed? #164

Open karstengit opened 9 years ago

karstengit commented 9 years ago

Hello,

i just started to try out lildebi. I fetched the installation from F-Droid, altered the path for the image to /storage/sdcard1 and started the installation - without no feedback.

After some time i searched for the debian.img and found a file with 630194176 bytes. In the APP i can choose installation log and nothing happens! The same when i choose open terminal.

And now?

I can see that /data/data/info.guardianproject.lildebi is existant with the files and scripts in it. But nothing happens when i start /data/data/info.guardianproject.lildebi/app_bin/start-debian.sh The script seems to be started without any message and no error?

Your wiki does not cover any explanation what should happen and how this project should work?

Some help and additional hints would be perfect. Thank you!

Are you using a custom ROM? Which version of Android?

karstengit commented 9 years ago

I am using Cynogenmod 11. I opened a bug for the script of Sven Ola here: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-6348 Here you can find all details about my mobile and installation.

I tried to reinstall it now. When i click on "Alles löschen" (remove all) nothing happens! The APP seems not to work on this device. :-(

Is there there any chance to do it manually?

You can do all of it via adb shell. lildebi does its work using shell scripts. You can find those in /data/data/info.guardianproject.lildebi/app_bin.

Also, check out related issues about getting root on the latest versions of Android, for example #161 and #164 I think there are others as well.

Yes - this directory is described in your main page. There is also a logfile with 0 bytes.

The problem is that i don't understand the principles how Debian is chrooted in Android? Why adb shell and which scripts are started at which time with what parameters or environment variables?

Tha't the same problem with the Sven Ola script. And one problem more is that he is invoking ash scripting in the busybox that fails in CM11. Bash scripting itself is very strange, but in a special version und special circumstances is really hardcore!

It's nearly the same thing with lildebi, when you have no idea what is the target?
