Need Freon support in xorg #1265

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

Hello,

I've tried installing Ubuntu Trusty & Precise on my Acer C720-3404 twice. In between installs I turned Developer Mode off to clear any previous installs. I've used the following commands:

sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t unity (1st attempt - precise) sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r trusty -t unity (2nd attempt - trusty)

As far as I can tell, there are no errors during installation, but every time I try to initiate unity (sudo startunity) I get the following error:

xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory)

I appreciate any help and I will post the entire initialization at the bottom of this post.

Regards, Vialeport

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Okay, interesting, peppy dev has switched to freon now. @drinkcat has some patches in progress to handle freon properly, but for now, the closest thing we have to merging is the xiwi branch and drinkcat's extension to do crouton in a tab (unaccelerated). Either follow along with #1144 or revert (and powerwash) back to beta.

ghost commented 9 years ago

Thank you. Reverting to the Beta channel and installing the XFCE variant has proven working.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Looks like Link has moved to Freon as well. Opening since we don't actually have a bug tracking handling Freon properly.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Note to self: startcli also needs some kind of frecon equivalent.

reeved commented 9 years ago

Just checking, are you guys still working on this?

DennisLfromGA commented 9 years ago

Yes, they are.

cool :)

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

For startcli, see this bug. Star it if you're interested.

AdrienCardoso commented 9 years ago

Before I powerwash back to stable unnecessarily, can someone confirm that if I do, I will get rid of freon and get HW Accel back again?

I was conviced that it'd be a fix, but now, I'm not sure anymore.

drinkcat commented 9 years ago

A few notes regarding this:

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Filed #1386 for croutoncycle stuff.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Starting to work on integration in my x11_freon branch.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Findings so far:

sudo touch /dev/tty2
sudo mount --bind /dev/null /dev/tty2
host-dbus dbus-send --system --dest=org.chromium.LibCrosService --type=method_call --print-reply /org/chromium/LibCrosService org.chromium.LibCrosServiceInterface.ReleaseDisplayOwnership

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

xorg.conf:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "freon keyboard grab"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "GrabDevice" "True"
    MatchIsKeyboard "On"
EndSection

seems to do what we want...although that of course is unlikely to behave correctly when switching.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

OK, having probably gone through all the same steps that @drinkcat went through originally, I've arrived back at @drinkcat's original implementation, feeling wiser and enlightened.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Implementation is moving along (you can try it out). Switching works, but it's not integrated with Chromium OS yet, so you'll have to manually run sudo enter-chroot croutoncycle next in a new tab to cycle to a running chroot.

bertnic commented 9 years ago

Stumblled into the same problem and freon branch did the trick for me. so #1398 is actually a duplicate of this. So happy to have my ubuntu back :-) Thanks again

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Oh, and if you install the extension and the extension target, you can switch via the extension's popup menu.

reeved commented 9 years ago

How do I use the X11_Freon.zip ?

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Whoops, that should have been tar.gz. Regardless, I'm going to start releasing prebuilt stuff so it's easier.

Download the crouton installer like normal, but when you run it, prepend with CROUTON_BRANCH=x11_freon. So a command like this: sudo CROUTON_BRANCH=x11_freon sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce...etc

daviday commented 9 years ago

I haven't been spending as much time as I was on this as I was pretty happy with my unity build but am again having issues. I've searched freon, is there anything else I can/should read?

daviday commented 9 years ago

Hats off to you guys btw.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

You can search for "unity" in the issue tracker. This bug is not the right place to ask.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Keyboard shortcut works now, so the x11_freon branch is getting pretty solid. Please try it out sudo CROUTON_BRANCH=x11_freon sh ~/Downloads/crouton ... and let me know what breaks.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

One interesting issue: when installing a chroot, the trackpad loses the "australian scrolling" setting. You have to log out/log in or set the setting to normal and back for it to reapply.

reeved commented 9 years ago

If I were to use the x11_freon branch, would I have to redownload a whole new chroot?

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Nope, you can update your current chroot with the branch.

Watney commented 9 years ago

@dnschneid CROUTON_BRANCH=x11_freon is working great with -n trusty -t xfce (w/o browser integration)

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Excellent!

aquatix commented 9 years ago

Hey, I installed the x11_freon branch this weekend and was able to successfully get into my xfce4 chroot again. Awesomeness! Afterwards, ChromeOS was a quick ctrl+alt+shift+arrowback away, but apparently I can't switch to the still running chroot again?

I read about the extension and I was wondering if that would help me. Do I have to install from the same branch and if so, how exactly? I couldn't seem to find it in the source tree.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

You should be able to switch back and forth. There was a bug that would cause it to not work on 32-bit systems, so try updating the chroot again with x11_freon and see if it works now.

If you install the extension target (directly or via a dependency), crouton will print out a link to the Chromium OS extension to install in the output at the very end if you don't have it installed already.

Watney commented 9 years ago

@dnschneid more feedback on the x11_freon branch. First, I'm on 42.0.2305.2 dev (64-bit), Platform 6797.0.0 (Official Build) dev-channel glimmer_freon.

I tried several fresh installs this morning using the x11_freon branch, and all met with disaster. I was unable to install -n trusty -t xfce,keyboard,xorg. The script failed, and even after continuing the script and then an -u, it wouldn't launch. The error report was the 'ol UID 1000 not found.

I moved on and gave Gnome a shot. I was able to set up a basic -n trusty -t gnome,keyboard,xorg. It sort of worked, but the super key (search) didn't bind. Next I tried -t gnome-desktop, and it failed. (I'm sorry, but I didn't record the details.).

[Edit] @dnschneid Update: on a fresh install this works Step 1. Install with the targets -r trusty -t gnome,keyboard,extension,xiwi Step 2. Update to add xorg -n trusty -t xorg

To sum-up, if you first install the -t extension,xiwi and then -u -t xorg everything works, but if you try to fresh install -t xorg it fails.

Note this bug: even successful installations and updates revert Australian scroll to the other hemisphere.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

The australian flop is a known issue with Chromium OS that's being addressed.

I tried -r trusty -t xfce,keyboard,xorg and it worked fine on a fresh install. Could you post what error messages you're seeing in the install process?

Watney commented 9 years ago

@dnschneid I'm sorry, David, but I foolishly didn't save the error messages.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Well, next time you try it out, please post them.

Watney commented 9 years ago

Will do!!

hannibalhuang commented 9 years ago

HI dnschneid,

I sitll got the errors when I update my installation to the freon branch. I'm on dev channel using Samsung ARM Chromebook, the cmd I run is

sudo CROUTON_BRANCH=x11_freon sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -n trusty -t xfce,xiwi,extension -u

the errors:

usr/bin/xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1 stdbuf: stdbuf: stdbuf: stdbuf: failed to run command 'hexdump': No such file or directorystdbuf: stdbuf: failed to run command 'hexdump': No such file or directory failed to run command 'hexdump'failed to run command 'hexdump'failed to run command 'hexdump': No such file or directory: No such file or directory failed to run command 'hexdump': No such file or directory

Do you have any ideas how could I solve this? THX

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

I think you have an old version of the installer. The hexdump issue was fixed in 3d32410.

Anyway, I've merged the branch into master, so try updating without the CROUTON_BRANCH part.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

Yep. With Freon, there's no Chromium OS X server. If you want similar functionality, try xiwi.

geraintwhite commented 9 years ago

That's a shame. It means I won't be able to use synergy in ChromeOS anymore.

I tried xiwi and still prefer having xfce on a separate display so I can easily switch back and forth without Aura stealing my keybindings.

Do you plan on making xiwi the default? On 27 Mar 2015 19:13, "David Schneider" notifications@github.com wrote:
