That's an odd error message to have.
Usually we get that with YouTube

Wonderful BSD news

Netbase shall bring netBSD userland utilities to Linux

Version v0.1 is released by introducing a new endeavor to port netBSD userland utilities to Linux with minimal source changes

Quote

The first release already includes a substantial set of core utilities including

cat echo ln mv pwd rm rmdir sleep chmod sync date mkdir test chown basename env dirname id tee yes head printf wc false true whoami uniq nice tty grep domainname hostname

The powerful ksh is also in the release

The potential benefits are practical

Developers working across BSD and Linux may prefer consistent tool behavior in both environments Security researchers and systems engineers may want to test or standardize on BSD utilities without switching operating systems.

It may also appeal to users who prefer BSD-style implementations over GNU ones for philosophical or technical reasons.

It's awesome being able to do this - Linux on my phone

#UserLand #Android #Ubuntu #Linux

I've found #Ubuntu to be more suitable for me than #Debian on #UserLand

Make it more of a full system with:

sudo unminimize

And:

sudo apt install man-db

to get the man pages

#Debian #Linux on my #Android phone via #UserLand

Nice discussion:

“If You Could Redesign Linux Userland From Scratch, What Would You Do Differently?”, Runxi Yu, Lobsters (https://lobste.rs/s/ko5i9y/if_you_could_redesign_linux_userland_from).

#Linux #OS #OSDev #Userland #Unix #RewriteItFromScratch #OperatingSystem

Just to make it clear:

1. #Mir was "not invented here" syndrome
2. so was #Unity
3. and #snaps is #VendorLockIn

Now, with their new dual licensed #Rust based #userland stack, methinks I won't be trying it out.

I want #Free #Libre #OpenSource #Software, and I want it as a matter of #security, #autonomy and #privacy.

I won't be lead down a garden path, straight into a #WalledGarden. We're supposed to get out of those, not back in.

Maybe some day in the future #chocolatey will respect #userland installations. For #security reasons, none of my clients allow installation of any program with administrative privilege.

Pues ya estaría instalado Ubuntu 22.04, con XFCE, en mi móvil Android.

Hallo zusammen,

@Danathar @[email protected] True! You can be #POSIX compliant and still frustrate any sane *nix user's expectations about how systems work, or do things in non-portable ways. Heck, I use the #fish_shell which doesn't even *try* to be POSIX compliant, but I love working with it anyway and the docs are solid.

I think the real issue is that so much of #Darwin #userland is poorly documented, if at all. That just makes deviations from the norm more painful than necessary IMHO.

#Userland
Anyone know anything about it? Have any input? Experiences?

Has anyone run #Phosh or #PlasmaMobile in #UserLAnd yet and is it even possible? So far I only used CLI distros with it but my #Pinephone is gone for a while now (the cops took it) and it would be kind of cool to get #LinuxPhone desktops to work on the #Android tablet I borrowed!

Esta vez con #ArchLinux y #LxQT corriendo en una tablet android gracias a #Userland

This is slowly driving me insane.
The promise of having a computer in your pocket is so close.
Modern #Smartphone has enough processing power to do most if not all basic tasks that people use computers for.
But #software for this is severely lacking. Especially on #OpenSource side, when you #DeGoogle your phone.
* bad external monitor support in #AOSP / #LineageOS
* #UserLAnd development halted
* #limboemu development halted

It was going so well, but now suddenly no interest
What am I missing?

@joelle It’s a several-times-over reheated take that unfortunately seems fresh every year. I’ve heard @davew call “no breakage” his Rule 1 for decades, going back to the #UserLand #Frontier days.

I'm glad that it's the #Linux kernel and GNU userland rather than a #GNU kernel and Linux #userland, as it's easier to replace the userland than it is to replace the whole kernel.

I don't think I can go a full year without seeing at least a glimpse of the X11 "herring bone" background. It was last spotted when I tried UserLAnd on Android. I can't remember what distro I tried, but it installed, booted, and then promptly crashed when I tried to run something. I didn't see a reason to further frustrate myself, but it was nice to see an old friend.
#X11 #xorg #userland

I finally figured out what to do with all my old #Android phones - build a bot army :) So far, I have installed #UserLand / #Ubuntu on them, set up paswordless SSH to port 2022 and tested #Ansible playbooks. More to come...
