How can I fix this?

Hiiiii!

A week ago, I switched from play's termux to the one from f-droid.
I used the following commands in backup and restoring:

Backup

tar -zcf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files ./home ./usr

tar -zcf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files ./home ./usr

tar -zcf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files ./home ./usr

tar -zcf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files ./home ./usr

Restoring

tar -zxf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files --recursive-unlink --preserve-permissions

tar -zxf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files --recursive-unlink --preserve-permissions

tar -zxf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files --recursive-unlink --preserve-permissions

tar -zxf /sdcard/termux-backup.tar.gz -C /data/data/com.termux/files --recursive-unlink --preserve-permissions

But now I get a problem with proot-distro. While backing up, I got a few warnings about socket files related to proot-distro's ubuntu.

Now, I am unable to login to it, remove it, or uninstall/install it.

I also tried

pkg uninstall proot-distro;pkg clean; pkg install proot-distro; proot-distro install ubuntu

pkg uninstall proot-distro;pkg clean; pkg install proot-distro; proot-distro install ubuntu

pkg uninstall proot-distro;pkg clean; pkg install proot-distro; proot-distro install ubuntu

pkg uninstall proot-distro;pkg clean; pkg install proot-distro; proot-distro install ubuntu

but it didn't work at all. Can somebody help me?

The error comes from this line https://github.com/termux/proot-distro/blob/8ebee022a96da441218ab49eeebba45112a6b340/proot-distro.sh#L720 The path is mentioned in the ifif condition.

Can't find the directory to add the etc folder

BonjourOP•7/23/24, 6:56 PM

Should I make one?

BonjourOP•7/23/24, 6:56 PM

like make the ubuntu folder then add /etc

Sadly, I am not familiar with proot and have not tried it yet (lack of interest and old hardware).

alr then but thx for the link I might try a few things to see if I can fix this

Biswa96•7/23/24, 7:03 PM

The etc directory should be in

'/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/lib/proot-distro/installed-rootfs/ubuntu/etc'

'/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/lib/proot-distro/installed-rootfs/ubuntu/etc'

BonjourOP•7/23/24, 7:04 PM

yeah

BonjourOP•7/23/24, 7:07 PM

actually I think I figured out the reason this error is happening

BonjourOP•7/23/24, 7:07 PM

"/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/tar doesn't exist"

BonjourOP•7/23/24, 7:16 PM

which is weird given that it actually does exist

BonjourOP•7/23/24, 7:16 PM

using ls

BonjourOP•7/23/24, 7:16 PM

ofc
