jails Ubuntu chroot not working

[Tracker]

I tried to set ubuntu as the default linux chroot after changing the settings in /etc/rc.conf

...
#linux_enable="YES" (yes this is commented out)
ubuntu_enable="YES"
...

and setting
compat.linux.emul_path: /compat/ubuntu

The output of

kldstat | grep linux
16    2 0xffffffff83501000     be88 linux_common.ko
25    2 0xffffffff8373a000     5220 linuxkpi_gplv2.ko

But trying to chroot into ubuntu doesn't work

sudo chroot /compat/ubuntu /bin/bash
Password:
ELF binary type "0" not known.
ELF binary type "0" not known.
chroot: /bin/bash: Exec format error

What is wrong and how do I fix it to make ubuntu the default linux emulator?

Maybe you should actually load the linux(4) kernel module?

Doesn't ubuntu_enable="YES" offer the same functionality? I was under the impression (perhaps mistaken) that it's purpose was to use ubuntu as base linuxator by enabling it and changing emul_path

Don't know where you got that from but that is not a normal service.

Thanks - this worked - although it doesn't solve the issue I was trying to solve with trying to install a ubuntu compatible software here https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/...ng-despite-linux-compatibility-enabled.89846/

EDIT : SirDice actually it's from this link about compat

Some notes before starting it. You need to choose which LINUX_COMPAT are you using on FreeBSD. You can not use both the default CentOS based layer under /compat/linux and another one with Ubuntu based layer under /compat/ubuntu for example. To use the Ubuntu based layer the script will set the compat.linux.emul_path variable to /compat/ubuntu dir. Also under the /etc/rc.conf variable linux_enable=YES will be replaced by ubuntu_enable=YES one.

Bump: How does one get ubuntu compatible binaries to be installed?

After setting /etc/rc.cof

#linux_enable="YES" (yes this is commented out)
ubuntu_enable="YES"

and setting compat.linux.emul_path: /compat/ubuntu
and getting my linux binaries
kldstat | grep linux
16 4 0xffffffff83501000 be88 linux_common.ko
25 2 0xffffffff8373a000 5220 linuxkpi_gplv2.ko
41 1 0xffffffff837a7000 31a80 linux.ko
42 1 0xffffffff837d9000 2dca0 linux64.ko

I can log into chroot now using

sudo chroot /compat/ubuntu /bin/bash

However, I can't seem to install ubuntu compatible binaries (after changing base from linux to ubuntu) onto the system as expected.

Anyone knows what's wrong?

Maybe you can try this.

You have actually installed Ubuntu using sysutils/debootstrap, right?

Hey! thanks - not sure I want to install browsers - but it seems like I have most of the settings properly set (ubuntu_enable, emul_path) ... or do you reckon I'm missing something?

You have actually installed Ubuntu using sysutils/debootstrap, right?

I think so ... it's been a while ... is there a way to double check?

PS : fwiw when doing

ls -al /compat/linux

it shows certain directories translating to others (using "->" symbol to point to libraries,etc) , however when doing

ls -al /compat/ubuntu

it doesn't show the translations ... wonder if that's indicative of something not right?
