Hi everyone
I've installed on my galaxy s6 edge rooted device kali via linux deploy but I've got a problem with root password (i don't know it) and sudo isn't working
Linux localhost 3.10.61-S6_UniKernel_v2-0003_rb #2 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jun 28 13:01:53 BST 2015 aarch64
Kali GNU/Linux 1.1.0 (moto) [running on Android via Linux Deploy]

sudo: PERM_ROOT: setresuid(0, -1, -1): Permission denied

Maybe you need to set SELinux to pemissive for that. Then login as root through sudo with: sudo su. Then passwd and enter you're new password. BTW the only way to get acces to the shell only w/o X is through SSH. (Atleast for me)
I already tried that. Didn't recognize the filesystem. It will however recognize it over USB OTG. Weird. Don't have the adapter any more, starting to think I should get another one.
Well..... What you would actuallt do is repartition the external sdcard with w/ ext2/3/4 and another one as vfat/exfat, then write the block device of the ext part. E.g. /dev/bloc/mmcblkp2 or something then on linux deploy use partition as installation medium rather than an image file. Then write the block device and fs type to match the fs type you used to format it.
