installed ok, but cant start xfce from sd card due to directory issues #108

So far I've been able to run the install without any problems that I can tell, but I don't know entirely yet because I can't boot the xfce command to get to ubuntu system. I'm thinking it is the way I set up my sd card because the only issue appears to be with my commands in shell not pointing to correct directory to run xfce. I'll type example below, if you can help at all I appreciate it:

With SD card inserted, open a crosh window -> ctrl+alt+t Enter the shell by typing “shell” Then type: “cd /media/removable/External\ Drive/bin” Then type: sudo bash startxfce4 -c /media/removable/External\ Drive/chroots/

I seem to have my set up like this: cd /media/removable/linextfour "linextfour" is what my sd card is labeled when I checked it on another linux pc, but what would I type after that? /media/removable/linextfour\ ?????/chroots/ ---- this is my issue I believe.

If your SD card is mounted in /media/removable/linextfour, why are you CDing to "External Drive"? Doesn't that just fail? What command did you use to create the chroot?

If you just directly run the startxfce4 script in the bin directory on your SD card, it will detect the directory properly. If your SD card is, in fact, mounted on linextfour, then the following command would work: sudo sh -e /media/removable/linextfour/bin/startxfce4
