xiwi: page zoom results in black screen

[vsukul]

installed a new chroot trusty.xiwi (via sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t xiwi,xfce -r trusty -n trusty.xiwi) on launching 'sudo startxfce4', I get a blank window. The extension says that a connection is established and that the chroot is running.

This is the output in crosh below. I can't run crouton version b/c i'm not sure how to access the chroot...

before sudo startxfce4, go to a crosh / shell terminal and type:

sudo enter-chroot

cd /usr/local/bin

croutonversion

while in the chroot, may want to remove xscreensaver, perhaps that is what is blanking your screen?

with:

sudo apt-get remove xscreensaver

or

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove xscreensaver

not sure about trusty, but xscreensaver always was unnecessary with precise and conflicted with power settings of ChromeOS on the Samsung ARM.

[linux4kix]

The zoom to your window is set to non 100%. You can right click on title bar and change it there. That fixed it for me.

[vsukul]

that was the fix! thanks! i guess any type of zoom affects rendering?

[dylanPowers]

@linux4kix Thanks! Looks like a warning for the zoom level is necessary. On 1080p screens like the toshiba chromebook 2, having the default zoom != 100% is a bit of a necessity for daily browsing so I imagine this will be an ongoing problem.

[mhep]

@linux4kix I've spent hours trying to figure out why xiwi wasn't working for me! I imagine many users with 1080p screens will be running into this issue.

[vsukul]

so i've been able to install xiwi on my chromebox with xfce and it works like a charm. for some reason, i can't get the copy/paste (shared clipboard) to work despite installing the extension target several times. any thoughts?

[tcagle]

Did you install the crouton chrome browser integration extension to your chromebook side ?

Oh, forgot to mention you can find the browser extension here: Check out "crouton integration": https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/crouton-integration/gcpneefbbnfalgjniomfjknbcgkbijom?utm_source=gmail

[linux4kix]

The performance of the new extension is much better, however I preferred the old behavior. Now it fullscreens and sees the entire xrandr surface as a single desktop. If you have an external monitor plugged in that can give a less than desirable output. I preferred the old plugins behavior that would let me run my linux desktop on just one display.

[vsukul]

I do have the extension installed... Copy paste actually works fine on my chromebook, bit I can't seem to get it working on my chromebox.

[dnschneid]

@linux4kix it sounds like you reverted back to native xorg...

So if I understand correctly, having page zoom results in xiwi not displaying anything? System zoom should work fine.

[vsukul]

seems to be the case.

[YrrchSebor]

The main issue I have seen on my HP 14(2013) model, with Trusty XFCE,xiwi and the extension installed is I can never open Trusty with the extension on first boot, it constantly says 'Disconnected(retrying every 5 seconds)'. But once I open it with 'sudo startxfce4' thru the terminal, the extension works great.

Or, is this the way it's supposed to be?

[DennisLfromGA]

@YrrchSebor - For clarification, I'm just wondering how you are attempting to open Trusty on your first boot, what command(s) are you using?

[YrrchSebor]

@DennisLfromGA: I'm just clicking on the Crouton extension and trying to open it like that. It works after I've already started Crouton thru the terminal with 'sudo startxfce4', but if i haven't done that yet, the extension will keep saying it's trying to connect but it never does. I wasn't sure if this was by design or if the extension is supposed to open Crouton straight away.

But now I do see in the README it says to use the commands to start it up initially. I just got a bit confused I guess

[DennisLfromGA]

@YrrchSebor - It's really by design; you have to open a cros shell and do your sudo startxfce4 thing first, then the 'crouton integration' extension can 'see' it and will switch to it. There's no easy way to start a chroot DE without first using one of the start* scripts in a cros shell. That is, unless you're willing to go through some loops first, see 'Autostart crouton chroot at ChromeOS startup'.

[mhep]

@YrrchSebor @DennisLfromGA Well one could also install a DE/WM, add it to ~/.xinitrc and start the chroot with sudo enter-chroot xinit?

[dylanPowers]

@montauk Yep. That's what I'm doing since I'm using Awesome. It's been working without a hitch.

[DennisLfromGA]

@montauk - I was just explaining it using the conventional start* script syntax but, yep, you're right, there are other ways to start a DE/WM - I edited my response above.

[YrrchSebor]

Thanks guys for the answers. I'm fine with using the terminal initially to open my chroot. I really like using the button above the number 6.... when my chroot is running, that button will show my Chromeos and Ubuntu desktops.

[murphycc]

I just read this thread and am sure it must be what I'm seeing with my blank screen with KDE as well. I think it's the zoom issue.

Question: Is there a way to remove the xiwi target after I have installed it? Or better yet, if I want to revert back to the non-tabbed version of chroot (where I switch back and forth to chromeos/kde using ctrl-alt-shift-forward/back arrow method again) -- is there a way to do this? Put another way, I just want to disable the tabbed version. It doesn't work if I just uninstall the crouton integration extension, as crouton still wants to connect with it.

-Chris

[dylanPowers]

@murphycc Run sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -u -t xorg -n your-chroot-name to go back.

[murphycc]

Great! Thanks, Dylan.

[rrolsbe]

Can BOTH crouton targets (extension AND xiwi) be installed as the same time? Or is it one or the other? I performed a crouton update twice once to install the xiwi target and again to install the extension target. After performing the second extension target update and launching crouton via the "sudo startxfce" command, my Chromebook rebooted to the recovery screen - lost all my configurations. I believe crouton reset the dev_boot_signed_only to 1 which would not allow booting because I had previously executed the enable-vmx.sh script (which sets that variable to 0 and modifies kernel boot parameters).

Thanks Much for any Clarification! Regards, Ron

[drinkcat]

@rrolsbe : xiwi depends on the extension (so it's either both, or just the extension).

See https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/765#issuecomment-69986327 for an answer to to second part.

[ubuntunoob]

In the past I have successfully installed precise with the xiwi,xfce extensions.

I want to run xbmc but other versions such as trusty and saucy do not seem to work well, so I am stuck with precise.

Although I can successfully install precise, recently I cannot install the xiwi extension which is necessary for crouton integration.

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t xiwi -u

I receive the following message after an install, but only with a precise install

The following packages have unmet dependencies: xserver-xorg-video-dummy : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 Depends: xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:1.10.99.901) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

[dnschneid]

That's #1294

[ubuntunoob]

Thank you! Regarding broken upgrade to xiwi (#1294), I was able to install the missing dependencies and get precise working with crouton integration.

After installing precise

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce

I then installed the missing dependencies from within the chroot

sudo apt-get install xorg-video-abi-11 xserver-xorg-core

and updated with an additional extension which now correctly loads

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t extension -u

Indeed, there is an issue when zooming the page (right click on title bar->zoom).

For now, we probably do not want to allow zooming (we could later on, possibly with another setting similar to "HiDPI" option we currently have).

We could force the page zoom to 100%. There is now an API (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs#method-setZoom), but unfortunately it is only available on dev channel...

The alternative is to compensate for page zoom (PR coming).
