Focal Fossa with Kernel 5.1?

[royalroot]

Hi Tom,

first let me say how amazing it is, that you updated crouton to work with jammy. But please can you help me and get a focal chroot running. Is it possible to update the chroot with your script?

What I did so far is:

# updated chroot with your fork
sudo ./main.sh -u -n focal -p /media/removable/sdcard/

# tried to run xfce
chronos@localhost /media/removable/sdcard/bin $ sudo ./startxfce4 -n focal
Enter encryption passphrase for focal:

Fatal server error:

But it crashes. I did not try a fresh install so far.

Thank you in advance, Nico

Please paste the output of the following command here: sudo edit-chroot -all

Sorry xfce is starting now when I remove the file "/tmp/Xorg.crouton.1.log". But when I try to start vscode or other programs then the chromebook resets as before with the old crouton.

hello ok here is the deal I need to update and push search for debian chroot or ubuntu chroot choose your ARCH mine is arm64

debootstrap --arch arm64 jammy /home/coco/cr/jammy http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports the works to install change root jammy the debootstrap is updated See the manpage for (some) documentation.

Running debootstrap from source

You can run debootstrap from its source tree without installing it. This can be useful if you want a quick way to make a Debian chroot on another system, or if you are testing modifications to debootstrap.

First, get the source.

• Either by using git git clone https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debootstrap.git

• Or by visiting https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/debootstrap

download the latest and it works for any chroot

xiwi crouton is the install for X11 to work X11 need systemd so do many others the X11 env is not passed to crouton Xdefaults and Xresources are ignored , it will work however the crouton config need to be update global only not local

the X11 server now uses systemd so it hangs, with xiwi config dummy x86 intel driver for the display after buster the X11 code was updated only xiwi worksnow I working on systemd for nspawn on system chroot many updates need to be made and tested

this is three chroots on a chome book crostini and one crouton and one nspawn development(systemd) if you wish to help great let me know

good luck if you need help let me know?

i use mate and xfce apps and many gnomes apps

[TomTravis]

remember X11 now requires systemd it will not work with put help xiwi is it is, you have to use it it sort of cool you like it

[TomTravis]

ok let me look at Focal Fossa if debootstrap works you good to go

[TomTravis]

[coco@penguin:/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts] $ls -la foc* lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 5 May 17 08:52 focal -> gutsy [coco@penguin:/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts] $^C [coco@penguin:/usr/share/debootstrap/scripts] $ the chroot script is present ln to gusty crouton need so edit to make it work debootstrap will work just fine Focal is amd64 only I guess i have amd 64 will try it

[TomTravis]

this the update for focal and jammy

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uZWy7RCqwlg8nnFkteGF3ld-gl1KTpkS/view?usp=sharing the file is focal_test same deal put it in the chrome Downloads folder shell sudo install -dt /usr/local/bin -m 755 ~/Downloads/focal_test

I has updated target it best to install xiwi, core , audio,extension sudo focal -p /install/path -r focal -t xiwi,core,audio,extension has you chromeOS chrome have the crouton extension installed

i use mate sudo apt intall mate

your .xinitrc file pulseaudio --start exec mate-session

or

exec xfce4-session

you test xiwi xiwi mate-terminal & it should connect to X11 and open a window

Thank you for all the work you've done. I'll test it as soon as possible and give you a reply.

[TomTravis]

hello let me know if you can update the kernel and Xserver in focal. jammy is new, same thing with focal no systemd errors

[royalroot]

hello, i updated my focal chroot and everything works except of vscode. but i'd not try xiwi so far. i use an old amd64 chromebook (2018) and mostly i use crouton in guest mode (to save energy)

but you say only xiwi ist working with the new kernel or did i misunderstood?

currently i'm trying to set up a fresh jammy chroot and report if it is working.

[TomTravis]

yes xiwi and fresh install needs a power cycle to work it has error on init start then works fine Jammy is the latest im not clear why Focal is being used . ok the jammy crouton install in amd64 may fail ,The RSA keycode may need to be updated, Debootstrap is what I did for amd64 jammy you may need to install update vscode

[TomTravis]

yes the vscode install and run caused my bullseye to have the machine reset still working in build the source

[TomTravis]

for vscode to build node.js has to be built and installed vscode want run with azure or some container

[TomTravis]

on jammy https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/43163 vscode will not build

[royalroot]

yes xiwi and fresh install needs a power cycle to work it has error on init start then works fine Jammy is the latest im not clear why Focal is being used . ok the jammy crouton install in amd64 may fail ,The RSA keycode may need to be updated, Debootstrap is what I did for amd64 jammy you may need to install update vscode

i use focal because it was the last version that was available last year when i setup my chroot. i configured a lot in this chroot and it would be nice to get it working with kernel 5.1. in fact everything is working except of vscode. vlc for example is working. updated focal is working with xorg.

fresh jammy is working with xiwi not with xorg, but that's okay for me.

[royalroot]

on jammy nodejs/node#43163 vscode will not build

thank you for your support. so if everything else is working i can get around with that. i can use crostini for that.

[TomTravis]

well it need work so this mean some edit, the work to get this far was some amount the binaries crash chroots installs maybe due to network connections and file systems so when i get x server working this will check it out, as far as i know crouton is dead now for any future work

[royalroot]

yes crouton is dead if not anyone else continues it. it's a pitty because for older chromebooks like mine it was a full system with very low power consumption.

but maybe is this a real alternative: https://cb-linux.github.io/breath

it will use chromeos kernel and chromeos drivers but is a full linux distro. my first try with it was not working but it sounds fairly good for me.

[TomTravis]

vscode is now working on Jammy or at least yarn is , not i know why Python is so popular

cool try debootstrap, this is what is happening< yarn is FU you have to play with it, the binary download rebooted my machine, I still working on SUSE for my Xserver, o have two now, this is method for me, remote Xserver, Microsoft like container Azure

I got network Manager working , I cannot get to the networks via chroot yet,

Yes I have nodejs working now, CromeOS will not compile, I need more space , my 16tb drive is coming with I7 Processor, arm64 standalone computers are not on the market only chromebooks, Yes im can now run processes the will kill the chromebook, the chromeOS shell has chroot also,

[TomTravis]

vscode crashes and every chroot i have tried Xorg and Xiwi

crostini runs it just fine

Here the Instructions and the link, skip part 1 of you just clicked on the link and downloaded it.

Step 1; curl -L https://aka.ms/linux-arm64-deb > code_arm64.deb

Step 2; sudo apt install ./code_arm64.deb

[royalroot]

Thank you for your work I'll try it soon.

[TomTravis]

vscode is up let me know if you need help

[royalroot]

Hi, thank you for trying. But no i'm using cb-linux breath now. With my old chromebook it's much faster than crouton and a real linux but based on the chromeos kernel, so it could use original drivers. before i tried gallium os but there you have no audio.

crouton is a good alternative if you want it alongside with chromeos. but i in fact bought me a used chromebook to have a cheap notebook.

thank you again and have a nice day, nico
