Title: Crouton on Chrome OS
Post by: Orioncorey on December 14, 2016, 02:04:15 PM

I'm trying to install Linux Ubuntu on my Chromebook, but I've ran into a couple problems.
When I enter

Code: [Select]

sudo enter-chroot startxfce4 into my shell(I'm using crosh's chronos shell), it runs, but immediately shows an error, then another when I click past that one.

I installed Crouton from http://www.howtogeek.com/162120/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-chromebook-with-crouton/ (http://www.howtogeek.com/162120/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-chromebook-with-crouton/), and followed the directions there, too. I did

Code: [Select]

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -e -t xfce, then made a password and encryption passphrase when prompted.

First error:

Code: [Select]

Unable to contact settings server
         //bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus-daemon.
Second error:

Code: [Select]

Unable to load a failsafe session
         Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running(D-bus setup problem);
         environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly(must include "/etc"), or xfce4 session is
         installed incorrectly.
I've also added screenshots of the command in crosh.
