please add support 32 bit (armv8l) in termux-x11.deb #43

sukualam · 2021-10-05T04:33:50Z

Actually my android is 64 bit, but I try 32 bit termux bootstrap (for testing box86 wine).

I want to try wayland in 32 bit termux environment and when i try install termux-x11.deb it fails. I try to extract the .deb and i see no armv8l (32 bit i think) libs..

Im noob to compile.. Pls add it. Thx..

(previously, when i use normal termux (64 bit), the termux-x11 work fine , i can run xfce4 desktop)

twaik · 2021-10-05T05:40:25Z

Sorry, but I do not think it will help. Termux-x11 just wraps termux's Xwayland binary. You should use 32bit Termux environment.

ghost · 2021-10-05T05:41:48Z

any specific error? it should support all architectures.

termux-x11/build_termux_package

Line 32 in bec4cdb

Architecture: all

sukualam · 2021-10-05T05:50:16Z

I try uname -m (in 32 bit termux environment) it shows armv8l , and i think there is no folder for that arch in termux-x11.deb ... while i install the .deb error says cannot stat libstarter ....

twaik · 2021-10-05T05:50:42Z

It is really arch independent, but it contains JNI library that helps to start Xwayland. But a package contains libraries for all 4 architectures.

twaik · 2021-10-05T05:52:25Z

and i think there is no folder for that arch in termux-x11.deb

In 64 bit , the uname detect aarch64 but when im in 32 bit, the uname detect armv8l

agnostic-apollo · 2021-10-05T08:18:14Z

Use dpkg --print-architecture

sukualam · 2021-10-05T08:19:51Z

~ $ dpkg --print-architecture
arm
~ $

ghost · 2021-10-05T08:20:30Z

The script can be fixed by replacing uname to dpkg --print-architecture or something to fix having 32-bit installations on a 64-bit device

Termux 32-bit Installations on 64-bit OS can report architecture differently use "dpkg --print-architecture" to report the correct current arch instead based on Termux repo architecture information

sukualam · 2021-10-05T08:35:07Z

while use (replace with) dpkg --print-architecture instead uname -m , it managed to copy the file libstarter.so from armeabi-v7a folder succesfully, but when i run termux-x11, it just show output: killed.

Finally i copy libstarter.so from arm64-v8a folder manually and it seem work (it opens termux x11 app and no error notification)

ghost · 2021-10-05T08:38:46Z

perhaps the 32-bit libstarter.so can't be used in 64-bit Termux:X11 installation. jnilibs from other arches needs to be removed and 32-bit should be keeped (needs APK repack) if you're using 32-bit Termux installation

other than that 32-bit libs can't be used on 64-bit and vice versa. it needs to be 64-bit

twaik · 2021-10-05T08:40:33Z

As I said before the package has no architecture dependent libraries that are used by Termux. But there are some libraries that are used by JVM and should fit it.
starter.apk does not contain jni libraries. Repack will not help. Jni libraries should be kept in termux's filesystem.

twaik · 2021-10-05T08:43:11Z

We can try to make starter check what architecture of JNI library it needs. Or just run /system/bin/uname -m instead of dpkg or termux's uname.

sukualam · 2021-10-05T08:51:46Z

I realize this is somewhat complicated 🥴, after the install problem is solved (libraries finally copied), now it seems this 32 bit mode cant display program for now, i think maybe i need to back to 64 bit mode..

twaik · 2021-10-05T09:06:48Z

@sukualam You were right when you decided to report it. Anyway we should fix it.

RalfWerner · 2021-10-05T09:10:41Z

Anyway we should fix it.

Yes! I've also no success to start XClient=fluxbox see here up to last What is wrong or missing?
Check with version 8 and PiP (shot1 Termux/X11 in Picture Instead of Phone/Calculator) and version 9 (shot 2-3)

Screenshot

between 2 and 3 is the empty X11-screen (with toast: Service was Created) instead of fluxbox and stop after 10 sec.
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/termux-x11/termux-startx11 doing the same.

sukualam · 2021-10-05T09:16:52Z

@sukualam You were right when you decided to report it. Anyway we should fix it.

Oh ok thanks, btw.. For now the 32 bit things (Termux:x11, wayland implementation) on 64 bit machine seems not working yet, i even got segmentation fault when run: env DISPLAY=:1 glxgears

twaik · 2021-10-05T18:14:18Z

Yes! I've also no success to start

Post logs...

I think first of all you should try other stuff, like xterm/pcmanfm/geany/putty. And of cource I need logs.

sukualam · 2021-10-06T03:45:28Z

Screenshot

I clean install 32 bit termux bootstrap, and install xwayland and install termux-x11.deb file (while the .deb install script success, it actually copy libstarter.so from armeabi-v7a folder, and i manually replace from arm64-v8a folder)

Then i install geany

After that i run

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=${TMPDIR}
termux-x11

In new tab, i run
env DISPLAY=:0 geany

And it shows the program...

~~I think i need test in 32 bit proot-distro again, because yesterdey everything fail.. Maybe i use wrong command.~~

sukualam · 2021-10-06T03:56:02Z

Screenshot

I install aterm from termux and try to run it. Then it actually displayed in termux x11 app, and i try run command glxinfo , glxgears , still segmentation fault...

Btw, fluxbox run fine..

twaik · 2021-10-06T04:17:48Z

I think that is a problem of current glx implementation, not of termux-x11

sukualam · 2021-10-06T04:21:12Z

Yes, I think so 😎 , btw the .deb still copy from wrong folder arch.

btw if i use file from that ABI folder, the termux-x11 command crash

twaik · 2021-10-06T04:41:49Z

Wait. Do you use arm64 lib with your device (armv8)?

sukualam · 2021-10-06T04:52:58Z

My android is 64 bit, i install termux 32 bit bootstrap from this script https://github.com/WMCB-Tech/termux-prefix-switcher/ to switch in 32 bit prefix in termux

But when install termux-x11.deb , and run termux-x11, it instant crash if i didn't use libstarter.so from arm64-v8a ...

I dont know why, so i just manually replace that lib (libstarter.so) armeabi-v7a version to arm64-v8a version

RalfWerner · 2021-10-06T07:41:57Z

Post logs...

@twaik They ar part of screenshots contains everything that is necessary for repetition and what is logged. In shot1 (version 8 - no problem), the four process checks (PID1-4 = 13768,13879,15786 and 24534) are well recognizable and also the Taskbar/workspace-manager of fluxbox above Extra Keys (EK).
For version 9, I kept myself striktly to your instructions (README). Recognizable PID2 is missing as I expected, PID3 has a different name (termux x11) and the rest is behind it. What are you expecting?
The device here is arm/armv7l and all pkg actions are done on this.

@sukualam you've success with fluxbox - nice - could you see the taskbar with set EK on? Should I also play with a mixtures of 32/64 versions or wait until @twaik has a solution or could at least repeat the problem?

actually after that, i just install xfce4 instead, and it run fine.. For the bottom panel (dock), somewhat it overlapped with termux x11 Extra Keys. Until now, i just hide Extra Keys and the bottom panel showed up.

I think this 32 bit prefix is still broken for running somewhat GLX or things like accelerator in xwayland, if use tigervnc, it will use llvm-renderer and somewhat use software rendering and can run glxgears just fine in VNC but low fps.

RalfWerner · 2021-10-06T10:57:13Z

somewhat it overlapped with termux x11 Extra Keys

Something or complete? The X11 PiP in the shot1 was made with the ekeys branch. There same EK lines are used as in Termux (several lines possible). If you switch on EK and Reseed... Choice, and use non-floating Onscreen-KB, should be visible also in XFCE4 (I like fluxbox.. more and it do the same) the complete screen. All input areas (keyboard response) also at the bottom should be visible, like in VNC - that's the way?

sukualam · 2021-10-06T11:17:22Z

Screenshot

Notice the small bottom tooltip? it actually from bottom xfce panel, i hover the mouse to that location...

the screen resolution is changed when reseed and show android keyboard.. When i close android keyboard the resolution back to previous size..

RalfWerner · 2021-10-06T11:48:37Z

The Reseed choice effect is expected. My question was related to EK! Could you move your Application/workspace line from Top to Bottom (default in fluxbox) and open a terminal there, and is it still visible with EK? -- your battery is low :)

sukualam · 2021-10-06T12:55:39Z

Screenshot

I try move panel to make it look like above Extra Keys (default is still overlapped with Extra Keys), and i toggle keyboard on/off with fast and i see something like that..

RalfWerner · 2021-10-06T13:40:20Z

That's not okay yet. Administration of the EK is outside the XServer, that communicating with xfce4. Here is fluxbox. better. But that's not this topic and is partially solved in #19, where unfortunately new disadvantages have been added.

Thanks for the information about this version. It seems it works like version 4 with PID3=Xwayland (Shot1). I'm waiting for @twaik's answer to my failed fluxbox start with version 9.

sukualam · 2021-10-06T13:48:29Z

Oh ok too... so far this issue seems solved (termux-x11.deb installation) while i still need to manually copy the correct libstarter.so lib...

I guess the GLX problem and some 3D things issue in 32 bit termux is another topic here..

zanfix · 2021-10-06T21:20:42Z

Hi here, I have a similar problem...

My device: Samsung galaxy tab s6, android 10, one ui 2.5

dpkg -i termux-x11.deb fails at post install.

from termux:
uname -m prints "armv8l" and "dpkg --print-architecture" prints "aarch64"

edit: To complete the post install I modified the file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/var/lib/dpkg/info/termux-x11.postinst:

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash

If I asked you to tell then I failed to understand what exactly has happened. Post logs.

could you see the taskbar with set EK on

Extra Keys pull request is still unmerged. Ask people to test it in the corresponding discussion.

I think this 32 bit prefix is still broken for running somewhat GLX or things like accelerator in xwayland, if use tigervnc, it will use llvm-renderer and somewhat use software rendering and can run glxgears just fine in VNC but low fps.

Xwayland itself has no acceleration. Tigervnc does not has it too. As I know there is something like software rendering. Bit it is not a part of Termux:X11, because T:X11 is not a Xserver implementation, it is just a backend for Xwayland.

twaik · 2021-10-08T08:58:03Z

@sukualam @zanfix
Please, try again with new artifact.

sukualam · 2021-10-08T12:43:09Z

@sukualam @zanfix Please, try again with new artifact.

Screenshot

Ok, i clean remove termux-x11 and uninstall the termux X11 app too... Then i try the latest artifact, and i can say now that bug about termux-x11.deb is gone (i can start termux-x11 normally now in 32 bit termux bootstrap)

Btw, maybe this another issue, the extra keys in termux X11 app is still overlapping with few % of bottom region of display output (the xfce bottom panel in my case) .. But when i enable PiP, and i minimize the Termux X11, and then returned it again to full size, its no more overlapping, and the dock is visible now..

twaik · 2021-10-08T13:18:41Z

@zanfix ?

zanfix · 2021-10-08T16:28:45Z

@zanfix ?

Yes... it installs with no problem now... I had a seg fault on xfce4 start, but will put it in the other issue I closed?

Started fine the second time (after restarting termux and termux:x11)

Note: I started from a clean termux installation...

twaik · 2021-10-09T16:35:56Z
