I can start the ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC chroot in fullscreen. I start xterm without a window manager from the Lubuntu 12.04.5 login manager and then I start the chroot and mate-session.
I created a new xsession file:
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Xterm
Exec=xterm

I created a small script to start the ubuntu MATE 15.10 PowerPC chroot:
Code: Select all
mount -t proc none ./proc
mount -o bind /dev ./dev
mount -t sysfs sys ./sys
xhost + local:
chroot . /usr/bin/mate-session

I tried to create a Ubuntu 15.10 PowerPC chroot on Ubuntu 10.04.4 PowerPC today. I want to use the new Firefox 41 on my old Ubuntu 10.04.4 system.
Code: Select all
debootstrap --arch powerpc wily /chroot-wily http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports

I copied the whole ubuntu MATE 15.10 chroot to Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS.
It works without any problems.

I use a RadeonHD 6570.
Could you configure Xorg manually, please?
After that copy the
xorg.conf to
/etc/X11.
I had no time to try yet, but ... when the boot stops, I can't open a console. The prompt for login appears but I can enter nothing and the screen is cleared.
Maybe should I use an option in the boot command?

If you want to test ubuntu MATE 15.10 with a lot of new programs such as Firefox 41 or LibreOffice 5 and you don't have a free partition or you couldn't install it on your AmigaONE X1000, then you can install it in a chroot on your existing 12.04 system.
As one who for some reason couldn't install MATE on my X1000, I was delighted to see this and went through the procedure.
Some of the commands didn't seem to give proper results. "chroot . /bin/bash" always gives a warning: "cannot change locale."
"apt-get remove cups" seemed to work (much activity), but "autoremove" brought "autoremove: command not found," and then "remove avahi-daemon" brought "remove: command not found"! (It occurs to me now that I may have left the "apt-get" part out. Oops!)
"xhost + local:" got "unable to open display," and "export DISPLAY=:0" got some negative remark that I didn't write down.
I finally ended up with typing "firefox" and got
(process: 20884): Glib-CRITICAL ** g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys-page-size == 0' failed
(firefox 20884): Gtk-WARNING ** locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
No protocol specified
Error: cannot open display :0
Do I need to start over from scratch? CAN I start from scratch? I don't know how to delete /chroot-wily.

Please try
in the chroot:
Code: Select all
apt-get remove cups
apt-get autoremove
apt-get remove avahi-daemon
apt-get autoremove
Furthermore try
outside the chroot:
Code: Select all
mount --bind /tmp/.X11-unix ./tmp/.X11-unix
(
outside the chroot)
(
outside the chroot)
Chroot to ubuntu MATE 15.10 again with:
Set up the DISPLAY variable to ':0':
inside the chroot
Good luck!

The apt-get remove things worked.
I cd-ed out of chroot-wily.
The "mount --bind ..." command resulted in "mountpoint ./tmp/.X11-unix does not exist."
xhost + local: got me "xhost: unable to open display ""." I didn't proceed further.
By the way, I am puzzled by this in the CLI: "(GNU/Linux 4.3.0-rc1_A-EON_AMIGA_one_1000_Nemo ppc64)." I should be using the rc2 kernel, "4.3.0-rc2_A-EON_AMIGA_one_X1000_Nemo-00001-ga5274f7-dirty" by name, but how do I check on it?

Please create it:

Afterwards try it again:

PLEASE use the
kernel 4.1 if you want a stable and reliable kernel for your AmigaONE X1000. The kernels 4.3 and 4.2 are only for experienced users who want to test some new features.

The result of mkdir ./tmp/.X11-unix strikes me as a bit weird:
mkdir: cannot create directory `./tmp/.x11-unix': No such file or directory.
I thought that was why I should make one!
Anyway, I'm about to go back to kernel 4.1.9. Please remind me: Am I supposed to put the Modules somewhere?
