PROOT-DISTRO (🟠 UBUNTU)



🏁 First steps

Note

All the process is described in more detail in this video (outdated).

First you need to install the following packages in Termux:

pkg update \
&& pkg install x11-repo \
&& pkg install termux-x11-nightly pulseaudio proot-distro wget

Then install Ubuntu and login once it finishes:

proot-distro install ubuntu
proot-distro login ubuntu

Update repositories and install any package you want:

apt update && apt upgrade
apt install sudo vim -y

⬇️ Download launch scripts:

  • startxfce4_ubuntu.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/main/scripts/proot_ubuntu/startxfce4_ubuntu.sh
  • startplasma_ubuntu.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/main/scripts/proot_ubuntu/startplasma_ubuntu.sh

⚙️ Installing Desktops

I have use the following post from Ivon's blog as a reference for some steps.

️️🖥️ Desktop environments

  1. Remove PPA:
# install ppa-purge
apt install ppa-purge

# remove mozilla team ppa

Remove preference files so it doesn't use the ppa:

# use ppa-purge
ppa-purge ppa:mozillateam/ppa

# remove ppa-purge
apt autopurge ppa-purge
  1. Create a new user and switch to the newly created user:
adduser droidmaster
su - droidmaster

🦊 Install Firefox

Note I used the official Mozilla support page for the content below.

  • Import the Mozilla APT repository signing key:
wget -q https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/repo-signing-key.gpg -O- | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc > /dev/null
  • Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources.list:
cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.sources
Types: deb
URIs: https://packages.mozilla.org/apt
Suites: mozilla
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc
EOF
  • Configure APT to prioritize packages from the Mozilla repository:
echo '
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org
Pin-Priority: 1000
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla
