general/other Help with Ubuntu Chroot

[omagreb]

Hello!

I am new to FreeBSD 13! I have successfully installed and setup FreeBSD as my primary desktop environment.

I am now taking a stab at Linux chroot specifically Ubuntu chroot.

So far everything is working as expected but I have a problem with dpkg while installing external packages into the chroot environment.

I get the error "/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst: line 4924: /dev/nulld: Operation not supported" and dpkg fails and quits.

Any help would greatly be appreciated!


P.S.

I am really enjoying my experience with FreeBSD! I am finding it to be much easier to use than Linux and the ease of installation and setup was exceptional!

P.S.S.

The actual console out is:

Did you mount /proc, /sys and /dev?

Hi, I have the same issue in a Linux jail (Debian Bookworm) on FreeBSD 13.2. I also want to install NoMachine. /proc, /sys, and /dev are mounted. Do you have any clues?

Thank you in advance, J.

First clue is to install the TAR.GZ file and not the DEB file. Installing the TAR.GZ file will resolve the above error. Be aware that there may be additional errors after installing the TAR.GZ file.
