32-Bit Chroot How-To

Hi!

On my System I found it necessary to also add an additional entry for /dev/pts in my /etc/fstab. Otherwise Synaptic failed executing vte_terminal_forkpty().

Does the original post in this forum still apply to Lucid 64 bit?

I ask this because all of the post were prior to 10.04 and I know there was a lot of changes in 10.04 and I am personally not a linux guru so I just don't know.

My intent is to run pcsx2

Yes, it does work. Just replace every instance of "hoary" with "lucid" and do this:
sudo cp /var/lib/locales/supported.d/* /chroot/var/lib/locales/supported.d/
just before the last line of step 1.

Whenever I use the chroot, I get the message bash: pkg-config: command not found, but it still works fine.

Dear all,
I have a related question, maybe one of you could know the answer? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...9#post11035079

hi hopefully someone can help everything seems to be working in chroot except my home directory is encrypted and is not mounted properly in the chroot enviroment.

the only files i can see in chrooted home directory are the "access private data" files not the decrypted home folder contents.

i have also read elsewhere i need to change "bind" to "rbind" to the home directory in fstab i have done this but still no luck accessing home folder in chroot.

solved my own problem just needed to change the entry in fstab to be specific to username instead of the whole home directory.

so fstab in now "/home/dave /chroot/home/dave none rw,rbind 0 0" instead of "/home /chroot/home none rw,rbind 0 0"

just restarted and now the same problem cant access home folder from from chroot really don't understand this any help would be greatly appreciated

solved it now i believe the problem was fstab was mounting the home directory before it was decrypted so i removed the entry from fstab and added a mount command to ~/.config/autostart so it mounts after the home directory is decrypted

And the near 7 year old thread lives to see another day..

Thanks for this used, it mostly works. I used i386 precise instead of the hoary option.
Just struggling to install ROS and synaptic32.
Thank you.
