That's an odd error message to have.
Usually we get that with YouTube

Wonderful BSD news
Netbase shall bring netBSD userland utilities to Linux
Version v0.1 is released by introducing a new endeavor to port netBSD userland utilities to Linux with minimal source changes
Quote
The first release already includes a substantial set of core utilities including
cat echo ln mv pwd rm rmdir sleep chmod sync date mkdir test chown basename env dirname id tee yes head printf wc false true whoami uniq nice tty grep domainname hostname
The powerful ksh is also in the release
The potential benefits are practical
Developers working across BSD and Linux may prefer consistent tool behavior in both environments Security researchers and systems engineers may want to test or standardize on BSD utilities without switching operating systems.
It may also appeal to users who prefer BSD-style implementations over GNU ones for philosophical or technical reasons.

@alina personally I can also recommend good #CLI tools that just work.
- #mc (#MidnightCommander)
- #neomutt
- #aewan (for designing #TUI interfaces)
- #enc
- #btop
- #ytdlp
- #lynx / #LynxBrowser
- #curl
- #toybox (which is a minimalist #userland for #Linux)
- #ne (nice editor)
- #nvChad (when you want to turn #neovim into an #IDE but don't know where to start)
And many more.
- Cuz I work on the idea of a #MDA / #80x25-centric Linux-distro (@OS1337) that is focussed on #FrugalComputing!
@mook except that's not true:
Xorg is going to be a safer bet
Xorg is dead. It's basically braindead and harvested for organs at best.
we can just run old software forever
Good luck with that. Just don't complain that not everyone wants to waste time to support 0,1% of people that run IE6 of that no hardware vendor will bend over backwards to support #EoL'd #Kernel|s & #Userland.
maybe personal computing peaked around 2014 or so and we are entering an age of scientific stagnation
I think we're allowing too much #Enshittification but that's not due to #Wayland and #SystemD, because both are at worst necessary evils because their predecessors (#Xorg & #SysVinit) have refused to fix their issues and thus it's easier to start anew instead.
so forcing everyone to jump onto new unstable thing because 'progress' ..
Look, I don't like #Linux dropping #i386 support either, but I have neither the time nor skills nor spoons to change that.
i think we should have a healthy suspicion of that kind of thinking
Well, I do have. In fact I do better in a a side project (@OS1337) in case you want to use an #i486SX in 80x25 MDA, be my guest…
I've found #Ubuntu to be more suitable for me than #Debian on #UserLand
Make it more of a full system with:
sudo unminimize
And:
sudo apt install man-db
to get the man pages
@YHNdnzj @pid_eins the only reason I've not been able to add #systemd support to @OS1337 is that it would exceed the target size of 1440kB for the initial core Edition and despite popular #disinformation, systemd is NOT a single binary but closer to an entire "#systemland" / "#userland" thus and not a simple "put #binary here" approach (compared to say #toybox) would work here...
- It would certainly make #OS1337 a more 'complete' distro in line with #LinuxStandardBase but that's a 'nice to have when I have nothing else to do' stretch goal for that distro.
At my daily work regular #Linux distros like #UbuntuLTS just work and use systemd…
- But so far I'm fine with a simple
/etc/init fileand a simple"welcome" splash screen
Nice discussion:
“If You Could Redesign Linux Userland From Scratch, What Would You Do Differently?”, Runxi Yu, Lobsters (https://lobste.rs/s/ko5i9y/if_you_could_redesign_linux_userland_from).
#Linux #OS #OSDev #Userland #Unix #RewriteItFromScratch #OperatingSystem
@lmemsm the closest I know is @landley 's writeups to his minimalist #Linux "distro" (or rather reference implementation of #toybox + #musl / Linux known as #mkroot.
toybox on it's own is basically a clean, minimalist #Userland inspired by #BusyBox but licensed under #0BSD.
mkroot then just is that, Linux Kernel and the necessary "wiring" to make it go brr in #QEMU.
He also releases his toolchain and has (by his own account) basically bootstrapped from there not just to #LinuxFromScratch but also 50% #BeyondLinuxFromScratch to evidence that it can be extended to arbitrary complexity.
- And that's why I chose that as basis for @OS1337 ...
Wieder lieferbar mit meinem Cover 🤩.

switched from #Android app #UserLAnd to #Termux due to the promise of working sound via #portaudio , and also being generally much less outdated.
need to add a portaudio backend to clive (my thing for #LiveCoding #audio #dsp in the #C programming language) to be able to test it.
had hoped to test with #godwit (my #uzulang in progress) and classic Dirt sampler (which built in Termux with minor fixes), but compiling godwit depends on the #haskell programs alex and happy for generating the parser, and it seems Termux repos don't have them. nor is there darcs (also implemented in Haskell), which I'd need to get #HaskellHugs Hugs 2019 improvement (inc happy) working.
getting happy and alex working with #MicroHs is also far from trivial, even old versions depend on MagicHash and other ghc-isms.
@gettie @chesheer Sadly not even #AdelieLinux, which @ActionRetro uses all the time...
I am working on an #i486 distro ( @OS1337) but for #i386 the support in terms of Linux ended with Versions 3.4.99 LTS & 3.6.9 respectably, and my #userland & #toolchain (#toybox & #musl-cross) doesn't support that at all, and I'd propably have more success convincing @landley to join #OS1337 than to support i386 even if I could pay him for that!
@mrmasterkeyboard @landley glad I could get you guys connected then...
I'm convinced #toybox is a good #userland to get a basic OS up and running and on it's feet. If it's good enough for #Android then it's certainly gonna be good enough for #embedded stuff as well...
- After all that seems to be the main goal of it: Allowing "self-hosting" as in building itself under itself if not deliver under the same OS...
I don't leverage that capability with #OS1337 (at least for now) but that's because I treat it more akin to how #VxWorks and #WindRiverLinux is being developed and deployed...
Maybe some day in the future #chocolatey will respect #userland installations. For #security reasons, none of my clients allow installation of any program with administrative privilege.
Pues ya estaría instalado Ubuntu 22.04, con XFCE, en mi móvil Android.
