The requirements to install Ubuntu on android is to have termux installed and within termux it is necessary to have proot installed. It is not necessary to have root.

To install Ubuntu in Termux you need to run these commands:

pkg install wget -y
pkg install proot -y
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dylanmeca/ubuntu-termux/main/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

groups: cannot find name for group ID 3003
groups: cannot find name for group ID 9997
groups: cannot find name for group ID 50399

To solve this error you must run these commands.

addgroup --system --gid 3003 inet
addgroup --system --gid 9997 everybody
addgroup --system --gid 50399 all_a399

Once these commands have been executed, this error will have been solved.
