Here's what i did :

I changed the permission for both scripts in /home/user
and in /media/mmc1

using both +x and 777

Then i ran

cd /home/user/ubuntu
./chrootubuntu

I got ls: /home/user/MyDocs/ubuntu*.img*:no such file or directory
/sbin/qchroot:shift: line 22: can't shift that many

and

cd /media/mmc1/ubuntu
./chrootubuntu

This gave me permission denied error...

Am i not supposed to extract the images from the computer first and leave it as .img ?

Hey Juan,

They keybinding settings for Xephyr showed up, along with an OK button. Clicking it launched Ubuntu but no further settings manager or anything.

Keyboard, as expected, behaved the same as before. That is, letter keys work but interpunction, shift and other function keys, and with that, the number keys, don´t work.

First parameter must be an image file or partition

Hmm. Out of curiosity I tried

cd /home/user/ubuntu
./chrootubuntu /home/user/MyDocs/specific-image-name-because-i-have-more-than-one.

As expected I get the message chroot is not supposed to handle that file.

Code:

 Everything set up, running chroot...
chroot: cannot execute /home/user/MyDocs/ubuntu-m5-v1.img.ext2: Permission denied
~/ubuntu $

Why don´t you simply edit the ubuntu file and change the image location there?

Edit: confirmed

I just moved the ubuntu image with the standard file manager to my sd card, changed the location in /ubuntu/chrootubuntu and it works without problems at first sight.

I just moved the ubuntu image with the standard file manager to my sd card, changed the location in /ubuntu/chrootubuntu and it works without problems at first sight.

I followed everything in page 1 until :

./ubuntu

then i got this error

Code:

./ubuntu: line 9: /media/mmc1/ubuntu/chrootubuntu: Permission denied
./ubuntu: line 12: /media/mmc1/ubuntu/chrootubuntu: Permission denied

I tried to
chmod +x /media/mmc1/ubuntu/chrootubuntu and
chmod 777 /media/mmc1/ubuntu/chrootubuntu

But i still got the same error, i suspect this has something to do with the modificated "chrootubuntu" file

So here's mine :

Code:

if [ "x$UBUNTUIMG" = "x" ] ; then
  UBUNTUIMG="`ls -1 /media/mmc1/ubuntu*.img* | head -1`"
fi

if [ "x$UBUNTUCHROOT" = "x" ] ; then
  UBUNTUCHROOT="/.ubuntu"
fi

if [ ! -d "$UBUNTUCHROOT" ] ; then
  sudo mkdir $UBUNTUCHROOT
fi

sudo qchroot $UBUNTUIMG $UBUNTUCHROOT "$@"

Did i make a mistake somewhere?

I suspect that error has to do with a moved ubuntu homefolder. Where have you put it? And if you put it somewhere else, make sure to

code in a new terminal

cd /ubuntu
nano ubuntu
and make sure that the line that says "scriptdir=" is pointing to the right location.

Hm.. I put the 3 folders into both

/home/user and
/media/mmc1

and the files are the modificated ones.

the scriptdir is "/media/mmc1/ubuntu"
Is that correct if the images are in mmc?

and even after i tried to sudo chmod +x the files in that folder, i'm still getting the same error...

It doesn´t matter how many of these copies you have flying around. What is important is that they can be found. To make it easier on yourself I would suggest to keep only the one you actually plan on using

It will prevent you from confusingly editing wrong scripts and / or pointing to the wrong locations.

As I said before, I am not sure, but I think your problem lies not in the chroot file but rather in the ubuntu file. So try that and report whether it worked or not.
