Hi, there are many weeks that I am trying to install Kali on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T715 but even if I fixed many problems now I am blocked in this one:

[15:45:32] mkdir: can't create directory 'storage/emulated/legacy/linux.img': File exists [15:45:32] ## bootstrap/rootfs : do_install && do_configure [15:45:32] :: Installing bootstrap/rootfs ... [15:45:32] Checking installation path ... done [15:45:32] Making file system ... ext2fs_check_if_mount: Can't check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab file while determining whether storage/emulated/legacy/linux.img is mounted. [15:45:33] done [15:45:33] ## bootstrap/kalilinux : do_install && do_configure [15:45:33] :: Installing bootstrap/kalilinux ... [15:45:33] mkdir: can't create directory '/data/data/ru.meefik.linuxdeploy/env/storage/emulated/legacy/linux.img/': Not a directory

Have you any idea of the kind of problem?

You may have made an image file but never installed it. Install a file manager onto your android system. Follow the path where the file was stored ('storage/emulated/legacy') and delete it. Reboot linux deploy after, then try to install again. If that doesn't work, change the location where Linux Deploy stores the image file by going into Properties > Image path and change it to your SD card if you stored it into external storage, or vise versa, depending where the image file was stored.

If you try several distributions you may want to have different profiles. On each profile you can modify the path and filename of your image-file, default is linux.img.
