I tried running this on a fresh Mobian bookworm install on a 128G SD card on a Pinephone Pro. It filled the whole card and then the system crashed due to no disk space.

check disk usage with df

df -h | grep -E "Filesystem|^/dev"

or for more details use apps like ncdu or gdu

sudo apt install -y gdu
sudo gdu -d  # to select the partition, use keyboard arrow key to navigate and `q` key to quit
sudo gdu /   # to scan all

I guess it needs more than 128 G to run this script?

no, i think it just need couple KB for gbinder-python source and still less than 250MB for all build deps package and build disk space requirement

Or am I doing something wrong?

i don't know

@whipplej5 btw does the script running or stuck on which step?

My apologies. I failed to expand the partitions after I flashed the SD card so was not utilizing the whole card. I should have looked into this further before requesting help. Thanks so much for your time.

Hey thanks for the script. Unfortunately it didn't work on linux mint 21.1 (ubuntu 22.04) so i tried to fix some errors which now seems to work for me at least.

🔗 install_waydroid.sh : fixed

Thank you!
