From http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=157712.msg8383862#msg8383862: """ I'm currently restricted to using a Chromebook, which means no .exe files, and I have to use their proprietary Linux called Crostini, which thankfully is mostly compatible with Debian stuff so I was able to install this without issue. However, I'm unable to get LNP to launch DF, specifically DF hack, because I can't configure a command terminal. I have no clue what it wants; my attempts always fail, and the closest I got was it telling me "parent process blocked by child" which is probably something related to how restrictive this ChromeOS is, but I don't really know. """

I actually play on the Chromebook-I want each of my threads to burn out one by one :)-just enter a standard slash in the text box and that gets everything working. P.S. I play on a CB315-3H 2020.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback @Cube-Wizard! Could you give more details?

Thanks in advance.

1.I used the down loader form https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=15220. Within the Chrome OS it is obviously downloaded as a .deb file in the downloads folder.

2.Then I just clicked on the .deb file which then Chrome OS gave me a pop up window which gave me the option to install.

3.Then DF installed even rendering the desktop icons in the Linux folder (through for some reason It installed a duplicate version of terminal-not the correct df-hack terminal either-mind you)

4.Then I launched the Lazy newb pack and opened the file drop down menu with in the DF launcher

5.I then continued Configure terminal with a $-not a slash that was an error on my part sorry

note: when I tested the terminal connection I got the error message you where specifying pop up twice however as you can see DF still runs

6.play Dwarf Fortress with dwarf therapist and other df-hacks

I have yet to try the other version of you package as this was the first package I found that works on line after trying the discontinued LinuxLNP and trying PeridexisErrant's windows version through snap(far too clunky and cpu intensive to do anything meaningful-on a chromebook anyway)

Ok thanks for the details! It should help other ChromeOS players. By the way, the DFFD link is outdated and a new .deb release 0.47.05-6 is available here: https://github.com/McArcady/lnp-forge/releases
