Solved: Termux Repository Under Maintenance or Down | by OsChannel

[@killab5952]

So the sources list entry how do you put them on termux?

[@OschannelDotCom]

I hate how youtube formats comments so here's the same answer better formatted: gist.github.com/oschannel/cdcdc16b7ef1b57b61913b582a039333
I may have probably not understood your question - but from what I understand here are the steps:
The `termux-change-repo` command will automatically edit the entries in `sources.list` and `sources.list.d/*` files if you follow the steps from the video tuorial.
This 'termux-change-repo' command comes from the `termux-tools` package, which according to my exp comes pre-installed.
You can check if its available using command `dpkg -l | grep termux-tools`.
If for some reason you are not able to fix the issue using `termux-change-repo` command you can try to manually edit the file at `$PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list` ($PREFIX is /data/data/com.termux/files/usr on my phone). Make sure you copy/backup the file outside the apt directory before editing it.
Now, to edit the `$PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list` you can use vim/nano editor and simply replace the line for main repo with corresponding one from the mirros list. (Mirrors list: github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki/Mirrors)
Worst case scenario, if you do not have vim/nano installed you can simply echo the line corresponding to one of the mirrors using echo command.
Example:
`echo "deb termux.mentality.rip/termux-main stable main" > $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list`
Similarly follow the steps for editing other repos in `$PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*` (ie: backup and edit)
Hope this answers your question and fixes your issue 🙂

i want to install pandas but i couldn't, I tried what you did but now the problem is "unable to locate package pandas"

[@OschannelDotCom]

I may be able to help.. Are you able to install any other packages using apt?

[@OschannelDotCom]

FOUND SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM... Try 'pip install pandas' for python2 or 'pip3 install pandas' for python3 ---- that should get you pandas installed inside termux.. If you don't have python you can simply install it using 'apt install python3' and that should also install pip3 for you along with python.

@@OschannelDotCom I tried both options but i got an error "dlopen failed: library libgfortran.so.5 not found needed by /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/... i also install libgfortan but i got the same error

Sir, how to change MTU in non rooted android using termux?

[@OschannelDotCom]

You need root privileges to change the MTU. Its not possible to do it without rooting AFAIK.
If rooted you can try to change it temporarily using this command:
'ifconfig mtu up'

[@raforedebe]

@@OschannelDotCom what about permanent then?

[@OschannelDotCom]

Probably edit the "/sys/class/net/$DEVICE/mtu" Not 100% sure. Haven't tested this since I don't have a rooted device with TERMUX right now. I'll come back to this in a few days for sure when I root my old android phone 😉.
