    Re: 32-Bit Chroot How-To

    I have been in following the how to. I am running Breezy, but still following the Hoary chroot, as someone here recommends to follow word by word unless I know what I am doing. Anyway when I reached the final step of "sudo synaptic32", I get this:

    Code:
    (hoary) synaptic32
    bash: synaptic32: command not found
    dchroot: Child exited non-zero.
    dchroot: Operation failed.
    At the step of "sudo apt-get install synaptic", it doesn't seem to work. I got this message:

    Code:
    perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
    perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
            LANGUAGE = "en_SG:en",
            LC_ALL = (unset),
            LANG = "en_SG.UTF-8"
        are supported and installed on your system.
    perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
    locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
    locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

    Preconfiguring packages ...
    dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statusoverride file
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
    Any clue?

    Thanks

    Re: 32-Bit Chroot How-To

    I'm having the same problem as Navyblue, except my locale settings are set to en_GB.

    Any ideas....

    Cheers

    Update: I've matched the locale settings with the system settings and it seems to get past that error, but now it's stuck on:

    Preconfiguring packages ...
    dpkg: syntax error: unknown group `postdrop' in statusoverride file
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

    while installing synaptic.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Re: 32-Bit Chroot How-To

    I have installed a couple more of locale and the locale error message went away as well. Now I got the same message as CMO.

    Btw, I also get the same error at "apt-get upgrade"

    Does anyone still looking at Hoary forum except for those who are looking for an answer?

    Re: 32-Bit Chroot How-To

    I'm a total newbie to Linux, just got set up with Breezy and trying to follow this howto. In Step 1, first few commands go good, until

    sudo chroot /chroot/

    When I do that, the terminal pops up this message:

    chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory

    I look inside my /bin and there's a file bash. Anyone know why it's doing this, and how to fix?

    Re: 32-Bit Chroot How-To

    Hello gk_jam! I've experienced the same problem while installing my chroot. What I did it simply delting the whole /chroot directory and doing everything again from the beginning. And it worked! I've no idea where the problem came from and if you have the same, but for me it worked ike that...

    Good luke

    Re: HOWTO: 32-Bit Chroot on 64-Bit Installs

    Hi

    I've made symbolic Links to the files in etc in stead of copying them. It works at a glance, and makes syncing of the files at changes obsolete.

    Code:
    user@host:/chroot/etc$  pwd
    /chroot/etc
    user@host:/chroot/etc$  sudo ln -s /etc/passwd passwd
    user@host:/chroot/etc$  sudo ln -s /etc/shadow shadow
    user@host:/chroot/etc$  sudo ln -s /etc/group group
    user@host:/chroot/etc$  sudo ln -s /etc/sudoers sudoers
    user@host:/chroot/etc$  sudo ln -s /etc/hosts hosts
    Regards

    Snifffurt

    (Edited)

    Oups.... This seems not to be working. Today FF and Acroread didn't start out of the 32Bit chroot. After changing back the links they where working again....

    Re: 32-Bit Chroot How-To

    Excellent guide - works well in Breezy too.

    Quick (and probably dumb) question, though. Having installed the chroot environment, everything seems to be replicated in my chroot environment, including all the stuff in home, so I've got copies of all of the documents, pdfs, spreadsheets etc that I use in my 64bit breezy. Given that I only use the chroot environment for firefox (and potentially other "troublesome" apps), is it safe to delete these copy documents from my chroot environment? And is there anything else that can be deleted wholesale?

    Cheers

    Re: 32-Bit Chroot How-To

    Euh... I would'nt do that pjs!

    Your /chroot/home directory is not a copy, but a link to /home. I didn't do the test, but if I'm not wrong, if you empty your /chroot/home directory, you will have an also empty /home directory, which is probably not your intention
