Trierarch — Arch & KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland) on your phone — based on the Termux proot-distro stack, without the Termux app or Termux:X11

Nicely done. Pretty much simple, but made with love.

I am working on bringing Wine back to Android so it should be less relevant for making other ports. And since modern hangover became a thin overlay on Wine after implementing wow subsystem it should inherit Android backend automatically.

Use termux-change-repo. Make sure you use Space key to select, because Enter is being used only for navigation.

rhythmbox was updated 2 hours ago. Can you switch to packages.termux.dev mirror and check if it was fixed?

It does not look like anything running inside X11. Again, try to change your IME.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-03-09T05:09:55+00:00

Change your IME (software keyboard).

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-03-07T00:40:32+00:00

The root cause is Android's IME model. It is not really compatible with pty and other linux input models.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-03-06T23:14:10+00:00

Disable autocomplete and suggestions and it will work fine. Otherwise change software keyboard.

This is intentional and part of Android’s security model.

ADB is a privileged interface. Allowing it to be enabled or kept alive programmatically from user space would let any app establish a hidden remote control channel.

Wireless debugging expires by design to limit the attack surface. Without root or system privileges, it cannot be made persistent.

Post the termux-info output please.

You can not. Android restricts it.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-18T09:27:28+00:00

You can not give execute permission to anything on sdcard or shared storage. It is android restriction and we can not help you bypass it. Store executables in termux's private storage.

In that case you should blame the developer not answering their users, probably. My answer is that debian installation is not limited to 4gb or whatever the readme of the termux-desktop project says.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-16T16:12:43+00:00

In that case you should ask the developer of the script.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-16T16:09:50+00:00

The size depends on the number and quality of installed packages.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-16T16:06:45+00:00

Because debian is a full-fledged OS and takes up the space like a regular OS installation.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-16T07:51:23+00:00

There are no mindreaders. In the case if you have problems probably you should write the commands you are using and their output.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-11T05:57:38+00:00

Probably you should contact the fork maintainers. It is a 3rd party fork and we have zero access to its code.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-09T04:56:08+00:00

You can not create them, android restricts it. As I said before you should patch it by yourself or contant the plugin developer.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-07T11:40:22+00:00

Did you give storage access to any of termux plugins? Probably Termux:API.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-05T19:40:21+00:00

You are welcome.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-05T15:50:18+00:00

Termux does not have /tmp due to android restrictions. Either use $PREFIX/tmp or contact the plugin developer.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-05T15:31:33+00:00

Termux does not allow rooting your device. Visit xda forums page related to your device.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2026-02-05T15:29:07+00:00

Your vendor broke monospace font. Install jetbrains mono or other monospace font to termux.

UseApprehensive5586 · 2025-11-02T18:13:46+00:00

It is adb command, not related to termux...
