Is there a way to get the battery and network, etc monitors, working in proot? I think I've seen it in some of you guy's screenshots, but I can't seem to figure it out...

any suggestions how to enable?

Is there any software that can record the screen in Termux?

../src/src/gallium/drivers/virgl/virgl_context.c:368: struct pipe_surface *virgl_create_surface(struct pipe_context *, struct pipe_resource *, const struct pipe_surface *): assertion "ctx->screen->get_param(ctx->screen, PIPE_CAP_DEST_SURFACE_SRGB_CONTROL) || (util_format_is_srgb(templ->format) == util_format_is_srgb(resource->format))" failed Aborted

Prior to actually giving it a go, I am prospecting information as to whether it would be possible to run the termux-packages packages build script, which requires root privileges and leverages docker, on an unrooted device, in a Termux GNU/Linux proot chroot such as Debian GNU/Linux, with the Python script udocker? For project please refer:

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Just wondering if anyone has ideas for this script. It simply downloads my yt playlist, extracts the audio as mp3, and zips the files. There's also some error logging and notifications.

I've got termux-x11 and bspwm installed with pkg but running into a problem.

I can run:

termux-x11 :0 -xstartup "dbus-launch --exit-with-session bspwm"

from outside of the distro with no problems.

But after I login:

proot-distro login ubuntu --shared-tmp

I get this error:

termux-x11 :0 -xstartup "dbus-launch --exit-with-session bspwm"
sh: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I also tried with Ubuntu and opensuse/tumbleweed and got the same result. I've gone over other guides and I don't seem to be missing a step.

I'm on a Pixel 4a if that matters.

thanks

I'm getting a Xiaoxin Pad 2025 with a Dimensity 8300 chip. I have some linux experience and I want to do some basic web development (node) using neovim.

Can anyone refer a guide that would meet my needs? Also, do I need to root my device?

Did anyone have this problem ?

My media keys are working fine in android ... but if i open termux-x11 the media keys don't work anymore . The volume keys work however .

I just wanted to highlight this because I can't believe it took me so long to realise or find it...

• Open termux drawer with keyboard shortcut?

Ctrl+Alt+<rightarrow> to open the drawer, Ctrl+Alt+<leftarrow> to close it again

so, for anyone else like me that uses Scrcpy (or other) to scale-up the display and mirror and control their android phone from their laptop, this is super helpful (and kinda obvious) 🤦‍♂️

hey everyone i just have installed xfce4 desktop in my termux

my question is how can i access my xfce4 desktop in my windows pc is there any way to do that?

hey everyone i just have installed termux from the f-droid website and added some packages to help me customize it with the help of MasterDroid youtube videos

then i want to know if it's possible to install a gui (desktop environment) and i found also masterdroid video about that but i found there is 3 options native, proot, chroot

the last 2 options let me install a full linux environment with root or without it

but the 1st one can't understand it did i need to install a linux distro? or just install xfce4 desktop environment only? and when i use the terminal there did it uses termux terminal

i want to know if it's what i'm thinking or no (sorry for bad english explanation)

This is the first time I've posted something on Reddit, I hope it doesn't violate any conventions. The files created in Termux cannot initially be found via file browser from outside Termux because they are in a sandbox. ChatGPT 4-O helped me solve the problem. It suggested 3 solutions and I successfully used solution 2. The others will probably work too:

If the output.txt file was created in Termux but isn’t visible outside the Termux environment, it might be due to Termux’s default sandbox, which restricts other apps from accessing Termux files. Here are some methods to make the file accessible outside of Termux:

Method 1: Move to a Shared Storage Folder

You can move the file to a shared folder accessible by other apps:

1. Copy the file to shared storage:

cp ~/output.txt /storage/emulated/0/

This will save output.txt in your device’s main storage directory, where it should now be visible in the file manager.

2. Check in File Manager:

Open your file manager (e.g., FX Explorer) and navigate to Internal Storage. You should see output.txt there.

Method 2: Set Up Access to the Default Termux Directory

If you want to regularly make files available to other apps, you can set up a shared folder in Termux.

1. Create a shared folder in Termux:

termux-setup-storage

This command creates a storage folder in your Termux home directory (~/storage), which links to your device’s internal storage.

Inside, you’ll find directories like ~/storage/shared, which corresponds to your device’s main internal storage.

2. Save files in this shared folder:

Copy the file to this shared storage location:

cp ~/output.txt ~/storage/shared/

The file should now be visible in the Internal Storage or Downloads folder.

Method 3: Use Cloud Storage (e.g., Google Drive)

If you want to sync the file across devices easily, you can use a cloud storage service like Google Drive. Tools like rclone in Termux allow you to copy files to cloud services.

With these methods, you should be able to access output.txt outside of Termux.

Addion:

ln -s /storage/emulated/0/Termux ~/termux_folder

This will create a symbolic link called termux_folder in your home directory that points to the /storage/emulated/0/Termux folder.

You can then access ~/termux_folder in Termux, which will take you directly to your "Termux" folder in main storage.

Using the new link: The symbolic link now allows you to write or read files in Termux to this custom folder without having to change the default directories. For example:

echo "Hello, Termux!" > ~/termux_folder/test.txt

This method allows you to save and retrieve Termux files in a folder you create in main memory.

I searched on Google for Python 3.8, I found one build on Github but this replace the installed Python 3.12.
How can I get Python 3.8 or an older release of Python 3 on Termux ?

I tried compiling termux clang using the build-package.shscript from Termux-packages in Docker, but it's failing. Am I missing something?

Its running for like 4 5 minutes and when it crashes. Battery optimization is off at termux what else can i do to stop this? I cant found any reason for the crashes it happens randomly

I use the commands

ls start-androkde.sh ./start-androkde.sh vncserver -kill :1 vncserver :1

To start it
