general/other I installed debian/ubuntu in linuxulator but have some problems

[Alain De Vos]

Debian wookworm, 3 problems.
a) security. I.e. downloading packages using https. keys are not recognised.
b) adding users , and login in these new users. /bin/bash could not be executed
c) dotnet 8.0 installs fine. But vscode with f# plugin does not start. It hangs forever.

Installing ubuntu focal, i get the error cannot find libffmpeg.so

It seem like the linuxulator works fine for things i can already do under freebsd. But for other, more serious stuff it fails big time.
I think i'll just go to virtualbox.

hi mate, i had the b problem as well on ubuntu jammy

the problem on ubuntu jammy is /bin/bash has 700 permission and so can only be executed by root
not sure why must be a bug i guess

ubuntu focal doesnt have 700 permissions on /bin/bash
and can be used by non root user

its actually possible to copy your user settings from the freebsd /etc/passwd
to the /etc/passwd in the ubuntu chroot, you may need to change the shell path

and also copy the groups your user is in from /etc/group on freebsd to /etc/group in the chroot

here are some pointers on a thread i started

general/other - linuxulator switching to non root user in the chroot to run davinci resolve

i have installed ubuntu jammy using the linuxulator with the steps below but the issue is i cant switch to a non root user because everything like /bin/bash has 700 permissions so i cant use su to switch to another user using su - djwilcox also i cant create another user to switch to that...
