Unable to locate output folder on Ubuntu 22.04 MagiskOnWSA

za flag

I'm trying to install the google playstore on ubuntu with this guide. After having successfully downloaded all packages i should now be able to copy and install the modified build. Unfortunately, cd MagiskOnWSALocal/output gives me an error.

So how can I solve this problem?

I tried to install the output folder seperately, but what I've gotten from that seems to be having nothing to do with what I'm searching for..

Please ask if aything in my question is unclear, I'm totally new to Ubuntu as you could surely tell because of my very basic question.

This does not seam to be a Ubuntu related issue - You should ask this in a Android related forum

The tutorial is for Windows OS running a modified Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA). The part where it uses Linux is just to build a modified WSA, thus I'm not sure if it's even possible to run WSA on Ubuntu?

As mentioned in the comments, there's a bit of a misunderstanding in your question. It seems that you think that the tutorial will allow you to run:

  • Google Play Store
    • On Ubuntu
      • On WSL
        • On Windows

Whereas what is really happening is that the tutorial:

  • Uses Ubuntu
    • On WSL
      • On Windows
    • to build a modified Windows Subsystem for Android
      • that will run the Google Play Store

With that in mind, using Ubuntu on WSL to build software is, according to our Meta discussions, on-topic here, regardless of what software is being built. So I'm going to attempt to answer your question, or at least point you in the right direction.

Your screenshot (err, don't do that) starts off in the wrong directory (the home/~ directory), which you seem to realize since you try to find the correct directory. But you don't actually show the two most important things:

  • The output of the ./run.sh script
  • The ls (list) of the directories you checked.

First, try:

cd ~/MagiskOnWSALocal
ls

See what directories are there. If you have a scripts directory, but not an output, then something probably went wrong in the build step.

The best solution at that point would probably be to start over - Delete the entire MagiskOnWSALocal directory, git clone again, and this time pay close attention to the results of ./run.sh.

Hopefully something in the output there should show went wrong.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
