Hi,
I install debian in Userland through android
I try access through ssh but the connection is failed.
I don't know why?
Try install the dependencies and packages but I get the same problem.
My ssh connection:
*lulu@localhost*
I have active:
- the wifi connection,
- I have internet
But I have problem of dependencies.
I am using debian 13.

With kindest regards, William.

In my native language is a saying like

And I now wonder if original poster tries to face a forrest
or is trying to face some trees, or even just a single tree.

I hope that o.p. reads "How to ask smart questions"
and does another attempt to describe the challenge.

I think we need a serie of answers.

For "How to ask smart questions" is the answer

Unfortunately, nobody understands what your question is, because you
are not providing enough detail.

Please start at the very beginning and tell us *everything* you're
doing.

You "installed Debian in Userland through android" -- what does that
mean? You've installed Debian on some kind of phone? What kind of phone?
What version of Android OS is it running? What is "Userland"?

You "try access through ssh" -- is the phone the client, or the server?
What's the other system? How are they connected to each other? What
are their names and addresses? Can you ping the server from the client?
What SSH client and server software are you using? Etc.

Your "ssh connection: *lulu@localhost*" -- what does this mean? Are
you trying to ssh from the phone into itself via the loopback
interface? And this is failing? Or are you typing "ssh lulu@localhost"
on the other system, the one that's not a phone?

When the connection fails, *whatever* connection it is, what error
message do you get?

UserLAnd is an app that runs Linux on Android.

https://userland.tech/

It says it's open source. That's as far as my knowledge goes.

From a 3 word search (guess which 3 words :D ),

I'm guessing this:

I think it is implied that ssh to localhost is not working, so the
usual initial troubleshooting steps are indicated.

Is sshd enabled and running, if so on what port? Is there any
restriction in sshd_config which stops this particular connection route
from working? Is there any firewalling? Etc., etc.

I think the OP should realise that he is almost certainly the only user
of this list who is doing what he is doing, and hoping for a 'change
this value to that and it will work' type of answer is optimistic.

My ssh connection:
*lulu@localhost*

IIUC you somehow installed Debian in an Android device.
Not sure if the Debian part is running its own kernel or is instead
something more like a container.

So you'll need to try and figure out what "localhost" means from your
Debian system. Assuming it means "the Android system" then I'd assume
that this fails because of Android firewalling incoming connections.
I'm not familiar with Android' firewall, and you might be better off
asking about it in an Android newsgroup (maybe one dedicated to running GNU/Linux distributions inside Android?).
