Your Arch Linux should be installed even though the configuration part failed for some reason. Use ~/arch/startarch to start Arch Linux in Termux PRoot. Edit /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, the pacman mirrors file. Run pacman -Syu to update your Arch Linux. Use locale-gen to generate locales and tzselect to set your time zone. Good luck.

@Ublimjo Sorry to hear you are still having trouble. Two questions:

  1. ls -al ~/arch? You should have an entire Linux system in this directory, not just

drwx------ 3 u0_a849 u0_a849 4096 Jan 22 14:13 root
-rwx------ 1 u0_a849 u0_a849 387 Jan 23 15:28 startarch

Post output from ls -al ~/arch once more, and du -hs ~/arch too.

  1. Do you have enough free space on device? See install. How much free space do you have?

My data allotment has been consumed by this project and TermuxPovray this month. So checking the image you are using archlinux-bootstrap-2017.03.01-i686.tar.gz is going to take a little while since my data connection speed is very slow at the moment. The i686 image was working fine before. Do you have any idea why the system image might not be unpacking completely on your device? Are you sure that you have enough free space on device?

SDRausty commented Jan 25, 2018

@Ublimjo you want free space on device to be able to run programs and create. Without free space there is not much you can do. TermuxArch wants as much space as possible since it is a full blown Linux. See results for similarity when space is null:

@PluMGMK What is the output of du -hs ~/arch, ls -al ~/arch, ls -R ~/arch/root and dfa?

@tomty89 Without 2>/device/null the script is funny to watch in action. A "bloom" option can be implemented. It would let the entire script stay on device for users to modify as desired. Local modifications like setting download mirror would be easier to accomplish. This isn't too difficult to accomplish #32 (comment) manually at present. Try removing the funny 2>dev/null and watch silly output in the Termux console. How to easily redirect this output via https://github.com/sdrausty/TermuxArch/blob/master/scripts/files/stable/necessaryfunctions.sh#L220 sysinfo to setupTermuxArchdebug$ntime.log?

There should be an entire OS with 100s of megabytes of data here.

bash setupTermuxArch.sh --sysinfo and ls -aR ~/arch/root output requested. What kind of device do you have? Try again using the --curl option bash setupTermuxArch.sh --curl. This will invoke curl as the download tool. It can be abbreviated to bash setupTermuxArch.sh c. Also can you post df output. This should help improve dfa.

@SDRausty btw I think you simply have forgotten -h/-H for df in your dfa?

Also I am not sure if it matters for any modern Android build but the right way is probably to run df on the directory bsdtar works on anyway:

@tomty89 I am grateful for your diagnostics in this issue. Thank you. Something like du ~/arch/*z is wanted before attempting to unpack. This thread is caused by failed downloads, empty downloads. This is why the files are missing. Can you post the output from dfa?

don't forget the x86 line

Well Termux uses the system df so there will be no man page for it. Maybe in different Android builds the params it takes could vary, I don't know:

$ which df
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/df
$ cat $(which df)
#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_PRELOAD
PATH=$PATH:/system/bin exec /system/bin/df "$@"
$ ls -l /system/bin/df
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     shell            6 Nov 17 13:21 /system/bin/df -> toybox
$ df --help
usage: df [-HPkh] [-t type] [FILESYSTEM ...]

The "disk free" command shows total/used/available disk space for
each filesystem listed on the command line, or all currently mounted
filesystems.

-P      The SUSv3 "Pedantic" option
-k      Sets units back to 1024 bytes (the default without -P)
-h      Human readable output (K=1024)
-H      Human readable output (k=1000)
-t type Display only filesystems of this type.

Pedantic provides a slightly less useful output format dictated by Posix,
and sets the units to 512 bytes instead of the default 1024 bytes.

My device is a Fairphone 2. As I say, I'm running LineageOS (version 14.1 to be precise). As such, my df is supplied by toybox as well - ls -l /system/bin/df:

lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     shell            6 Dec 31  2008 /system/bin/df -> toybox

And /system/bin/toybox --version:

I'll try the --curl option later.

@PluMGMK Thanks for posting you output. Run the script again if it gets a 404. I have gotten a couple of 404s too. Rerunning setupTermuxArch.sh resolves this. It probably has to do with the round robin mirror.archlinuxarm.org handing the download link over to your geographically nearby server. The third line from the bottom is the round robin server. While the line bellow that is your geographically nearby server that generates the 404. There can be more than one geographically nearby server too. Your connection speed indicates you should take it into account. Ensure that nothing else is gobling bandwidth. Run the script again if it gets a 404.

If the 404 doesn't go away for some reason by itself like it should, edit knownconfiguration.sh with the mirror of your choosing. See 32#issuecomment for instructions how to specify a mirror. https://archlinuxarm.org/about/mirrors for mirrors and knownconfigurations.sh#L5.

@SDRausty btw you may want to do a readlink /system/bin/df check for https://github.com/sdrausty/TermuxArch/blob/fe186831dccdc2eef54e62d97705f8824d3b3c2a/scripts/files/stable/necessaryfunctions.sh#L212
if it returns toolbox, do df .; otherwise, do df -h .

Okay, I've forced it to use de4.mirror.archlinuxarm.org (as opposed to nl.mirror.archlinuxarm.org which is missing the /os subdir for some reason). But now I'm getting:
archsystemconfigs.sh: line 142: etc/motd: No such file or directory
How can this be?

Seriously, just download it with chrome or whatsoever and run:

mkdir arch
cd arch
proot --link2symlink -0 bsdtar -xpf /sdcard/Download/ArchLinuxARM-armv7-latest.tar.gz

and see what exactly went wrong, because @SDRausty still haven't remove 2>/dev/null. There's no point keep repeat downloading and guessing.

Okay, I got rid of the 2>/dev/null myself, and it told me bsdtar was being killed with signal 9. When I tried running bsdtar outside of a proot, it wasn't able to get the right permissions, but then when I ran setupTermuxArch.sh again it was happy because all the files were there anyway. Seems to work at last!
That signal 9 worries me, and should probably be a separate issue. Anyone else got this on LineageOS 14.1?

@PluMGMK you''ll probably get into trouble at some point with the installation if it wasn't extracted with proot --link2symlink, as hard link does not work in Android/Termux. Also if proot doesn't work in your phone, you cannot "start" Arch anyway.

PluMGMK commented Feb 3, 2018

Nah, it starts fine. Seems bsdtar was the problem, not proot itself.

tomty89 commented Feb 3, 2018

@PluMGMK still you'll catch problems with it because of the missing links. You may want to try GNU tar instead.

Actually busybox tar might even work better coz it doesn't spit tons of header keyword ignored message like GNU tar does

bash ~/setupTermuxArch.sh --help has new information regarding topics discussed in this thread with this abc7e55 update.

@PluMGMK bash setupTermuxArch.sh --bloom deposits the entire script in ~/TermuxArchBloom for custom modifications. Use bash setupTermuxArch.sh --run to run the script from ~/TermuxArchBloom.

@tomty89

busybox tar might even work

Thanks for the suggestion. Arm architectures now use the busybox version oftar by default https://github.com/sdrausty/TermuxArch/releases/tag/0.8.3 with this release.
