Where did you get the Termux APK file? |

Copy the complete error from menu on top right (3 dots) and post that and not screenshots. |

@Ftwrr it would be better if you posted the full error so that I can see the full path and is it always the same path or different every time? However, also try the debug build apk for https://github.com/termux/termux-app/releases/tag/v0.117 You also need to uninstall termux and all plugins you have already installed from F-Droid before installing debug build. |

Thanks for testing. Are you willing to test more builds if I send them? For now do this. When If you can't seem to open left drawer (because of gesture navigation), press home button, then long press on termux launcher icon and select |

Also are you trying to run app in work profile (or secondary user)? |

@agnostic-apollo Work profile and secondary user accounts are normally detected by installer code. So remaining cases are incorrect modes/ownership or missing |
Secondary user is (hence the brackets), but not work profile. It seems to need a different check as per here. Sub comments also say even that isn't working on xiaomi. Who knows maybe secondary user is faulty on some devices too. You can create work profiles with Island app. I will have to test to check things out. The missing directory should be fixable with a call to |
Technically, it is a separate user profile. I didn't tried it with work profile created by Google Services (never used such and currently don't have possibility to test it), but a one created with Shelter application was detected correctly.
This will not work for Samsung devices with Secure Folder which binds |
|
I see, assuming that check is working on the realme device above, then that would leave ownership/permission or missing directory issue.
If termux "mostly" works for a such a "user profile" case, then wouldn't it be better to remove the profile check and do it based on |
|
Check is working for Island app as well on android 11 avd. |
|
You can't rely on Since my Samsung device now uses a custom ROM, Knox functionality has gone and I can't do further tests. But as I wrote, P.S. That's more like off-topic. Secure Folder support is another issue, not this one. |

…tion and provide better info when running as secondary user/profile Termux will check if termux files directory `/data/data/com.termux/files` has rwx permission access before installing bootstrap or starting terminal. Missing permission will automatically be set if possible. The `/data/data/com.termux` directory will also be created if it did not already exist, like if android did not already create it. Users will now also be shown a crash notification if they attempt to start termux as a secondary user or in a work profile with info of the "alternate" termux files directory `/data/user/<id>/com.termux` set by android and the profile owner app if running under work profile (not secondary user). A notification will also be shown if the termux files directory (not "alternate") is not accessible. Related #2168

Yeah, checking for Basically, its possible to add restricted support for multiple users for rooted users or where bind mount is done by default by the OS like in Samsung's case. I didn't add that support yet since that would require more time, cause users should be shown a prompt for that and if they want to accept the risks, also a shared preference for the choice and possibly a warning in termux settings about the restricted termux, and that @termux won't be obligated to provide much support for broken stuff. As for current issue, @Ftwrr still hasn't sent the output for The build will also show the secondary user/work profile info on bootstrap installation failure. Note that Secondary User
