Hi Mentors, Hope you all are doing well!
My name is Simrann Arora and I am an aspiring GSoC 2023 contributor. I have been actively trying to contribute to the 'Sugar on Raspberry Pi' project that has been selected for GSoC this year. As far as my progress is concerned, till now I have completed the following tasks: - Setting up Debian version 11(bullseye) VM on my mac using Parallels Desktop, earlier I had installed Ubuntu 23.04 using VMware Fusion - Cloning the rpi23-gen-image repo for building Sugar OS image. - I tried running the rpi23-gen-image builder script but I am getting this error: ``` chroot: failed to run command '/debootstrap/debootstrap': Exec format error. ``` I did some research to fix this, and found out that it might have occured due to the architecture mismatch of the chroot environment and the command that I am using to run the script, like suppose the chroot environment is 64-bit and the executable is 32-bit. Another reason could be that the executable is not compatible with the OS or the linux distro within the chroot environment. - To fix this, I created a chroot environment of Debian version 9 (stretch) within my Debian 11 distro to make it compatible with the `rpi3stretch-sugar` template as given in the `rpi23-gen-image` repository and cloned it. However, when I ran the script, I encountered the same error: ``` chroot: failed to run command '/debootstrap/debootstrap': Exec format error. ``` To further troubleshoot this, I tried installing the `binfmts support` and enabling qemu-arm within the chroot. Again I got an error: `update-binfmts: warning: qemu-arm not in database of installed binary formats. ` Now to fix this one I tried reinstalling qemu-user-static and enabling it but it says that it might be possible that this package isn't installed in my system's repo or I need to use another repo for the same. I would like to request the mentors to guide me further on this and discuss the next steps of implementation and the project requirements. I am very keen on working on this project, gaining in-depth understanding on this and taking it further. Also, as the proposal deadline is just around the corner, I would be really grateful if I could connect with all the mentors on a Zoom/GMeets call to discuss the project Thanks a lot Simrann Arora GitHub Handle - @simrann20
