Hello please help me !!
When I type this command :

download installer

curl -L -o install.sh https://git.io/hippo-installer

run the installer

bash install.sh

Install ubuntu with this command

hippo --install
/ / /
I get error :

I have a 64-bit armv8-a (32 bit mode) in my android phone

[SaicharanKandukuri]

It's because armhf rootfs is not installable cause termux proot has conflicts / missing things that lead to a lot of errors in so many armhf devices

see the issue in #34

And Termux/proot is not responding to my issue
termux/proot#172

so I had to comment it out from pulgin
https://github.com/RandomCoderOrg/ubuntu-on-android/blob/modified/hippo.sh#L33

[Zictate7]

So what should I do, I really need to download it, please give me a solution

[SaicharanKandukuri]

I suggest you to wait for new release in which we are dumping version to ubuntu 20 and make it work in armhf

[Zictate7]

OK, How long does this take !

[SaicharanKandukuri]

Well test 1 failed so I have to build rootfs again in other way. So it take 2 to 5 days cause I have less time to work on it.

[Zictate7]

Thank you, you are the best.
But i have a question my android phone is 64bit armv8-a mode 32 bit so when i changing 64-bit ARMv8 a 32-bit mode to 64-bit mode then does the code work?

[SaicharanKandukuri]

hmm 32bit android In armv8-a it's a trick from your device vendor,when we use 32bit os in 64bit processor we get a good performance. ( This method is used when processor power is low )
If you switch to 64bit with tools like termux-prefix-switch you can install

Even armv8l have two execution states switching architecture will work cause of aarch64 execution state I can't say It work

Cause I never tested it!

[Zictate7]

Really I don't understand in this article this person shows that armv8-a is able to run 64bit system but your program gives me an error

[SaicharanKandukuri]

Architecture verification is done by uname in installer and uname gets the machine architecture which is 32bit android so it happens

You can change termux to 64 bit with this tool by https://github.com/WMCB-Tech/termux-prefix-switcher
But it may become inconsistent

If you can take it then do the it
And try running the installer!

[Zictate7]

Even if it doesn't work, I hope you fix this problem so that my system can work with this matter, thank you for all your time, I respect the speed of your answer and your clarification🙏

[SaicharanKandukuri]

You are welcome

@SaicharanKandukuri The termux profix switcher changes the system from 64-bit to 32-bit and not vice versa, unfortunately...
You said you will work on this Have you found a solution for the owners of the armv8l system !

[SaicharanKandukuri]

Yep I dumped ubuntu version from 21 to 20 and gave to armhf people in discord and it worked
