error for installing ubuntu
Hi
Im trying to install modded ubuntu on my non rooted s8+ and i keep getting the following error message:
"We are about to begin the installation of Ubuntu XFCE Modded OS.
This is a resource hungry process 🏗 because we download and extract files simultaneously. Please close all other resource heavy processes and keep Termux in the foreground as long as possible.
If you noticed low download speeds, please understand that the speeds we are reporting denote simultaneous extraction and hence will depend on your CPU as well. Please be patient.

I wouldn't recommend using Ubuntu modded 22
It has issues with vnc on most devices
Your issue is caused by either an out of date termux version or bad repositories
You need to use termux-change-repo to switch repositories
I've gotten that error numerous times before with andronix and always up to date. They need to implement a simple check for wget, pv and proot and install if not installed already.
The issue isn't that they aren't installed.
Well, it partially is
The main issue is that they aren't in termux repos for some people out of the box
Yes I know which is why I said they would at least implement a check
Which means at the start of the command they are meant to be installed, don't get installed because they aren't available, and then error out.
I guess, but I think it really comes down to termux needing to fix their app
Why is it shipped with broken repositories?
Changing to literally anything else fixes the issue
But it's not a universal issue
I've had this problem many times and had to manually install, never needed to run termux-change-repo to fix it
You would assume that when you tell it to install stuff that is some of the most basic Linux programs, that it would have the software available out of the box.
The fix is to change the repo. This already "manually installs" those apps
pkg update -y && pkg install wget curl proot tar -y && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndronixApp/AndronixOrigin/master/Installer/Ubuntu22/ubuntu22-xfce.sh -O ubuntu22-xfce.sh && chmod +x ubuntu22-xfce.sh && bash ubuntu22-xfce.sh
See that?
Pkg update
Pkg install wget curl proot tar
That is "manual"
And the reason it didn't get installed is because termux sometimes doesn't ship with working repositories
I had to change repositories to get anything to install, and so do some other people.
I didn't need to do this in the past, but it's not the past anymore.
The command shell interprets the && as the logical AND. When using this command, the second command will be executed only when the first one has been succcefully executed.It goes one after the other. So you are complaining about something you don't even understand because you don't experience it. Not an andronix related issue, I had issues installing proot-distro because it wasn't there, pretty sure it said no installation candidate. After switching repos its fixed. Not everything is the same on every device and you just deny any possibility of that being reality despite what is in front of your eyes You just blame it on something you don't like as an excuse
Yep, copies like that for unmodded, not for modded though.
Which he's using modded
And I'm complaining from experience and never once had to run termux-change-repo, always fixed this same exact issue by manually installing the apps. Always.
I'm not gonna be gas lit and be told that my same exact experience and my solutions aren't valid.
