There is no /dev/pts anymore... /dtv/pts/ is where they are...

Code: Select all

# mount -t devpts devpts /tmp/ubuntu/dev/pts
mount: mounting devpts on /tmp/ubuntu/dev/pts failed: No such file or directory

This tutorial is NOT for F/H :) Although you can base your work on this :)
I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!

Yes. That is what I am trying to. I did the following but I am not sure what the impact is after chroot. :

Code: Select all

# mkdir /tmp/ubuntu/dtv
# mkdir /tmp/ubuntu/dtv/pts
# mount -t devpts devpts /tmp/ubuntu/dtv/pts
Also I get this error on chroot:

Code: Select all

# chroot /tmp/ubuntu /usr/bin/env -i HOME="/root" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" TMPDIR="/tmp" FONTCONFIG_FILE="/etc/fonts/fonts.conf" FONTCONFIG_PATH="/etc/fonts" PANGO_RC_FILE="/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnu
eabi/pango/pangorc" TERM=xterm PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" DISPLAY=":0" /usr/bin/xrandr --output LCD --mode 1920x1080
/usr/bin/env: /usr/bin/xrandr: No such file or directory

well it's nothing strange it didn't work :) It's for E :) randomly running commands won't help you :) You should set everything up "from scratch" :)

I am not running commands randomly :). I am trying to set it from scratch. I did chroot into the new system but where I need help is on how to mount /dtv/pts to /dev/pts properly.

Of course on every error log output I get this error:

Code: Select all

Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)

Is mount -o bind /dtv/pts /dev/pts correct? I guess not because the mount point doesn't exist. Any ideas on how to do this?

Thank you

The mount point doesn't exist at all :(:

Code: Select all

root@(none):~# mount -o bind /dtv/pts  /tmp/ubuntu/dev/pts
mount: mount point /tmp/ubuntu/dev/pts does not exist

Did you at least read/analyze what I did prepare ? :)

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /tmp/ubuntu/dev/pts
It's not I want to discourage you but if you have problems at this "level" I think you should give up ;) Or at least start solving such "problems" by yourself ;)

I did fully read what you did prepare. That is how I got up to finding out that there is no xfs filesystem support and i switched to ext4, xrandr doesn't work and so on. I know my level is too low for you but a little help here and there is always appreciated. Actually I was thinking that using -p might help in replacing 2> /dev/null output error from your scripts. I did not think that mkdir -p would work in this case though.

Now the chroot fully works. I am updating the packages that I need from apt-get.
