Crouton on Restored Chromebook after install Chrubuntu wont start xfce4 #17

Closed gregnwosu closed 11 years ago

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

Followed the instruction and can enter-chroot and apt-get etc from there

but if i call startx from inside entered chroot

or sudo startxfce4

then the screen goes dark after which i am booted back out into ChromeOS

dnschneid commented 11 years ago

startx doesn't work at all with the chroot; not entirely sure why. You can use xinit if you want to manually set up your X11 session. startxfce4 should be called without sudo inside the chroot, or with sudo outside (since it's a helper script that calls enter-chroot).

If the above doesn't resolve anything: what do you mean by "restored", and what command did you use to set up your chroot?

Yes tried all of these.......when i try to start the windowing, i find myself back at the chromeos logging screen

Ah after i installed Chrubuntu and got frustrated with it I decided to wipe my Chromebook (Samsung series 3 arm) via an Google restore disk for my machine.

and what command did you use to set up your chroot?

I used the crouton script,on the homepage which i believe to be http://goo.gl/fd3zc

(unless its changed in the last 24hours!)

Thanks

Great project by the way!

dnschneid commented 11 years ago

The link doesn't change. Also, I meant what did you type into crosh to set up the chroot. Finally, what does it say under about:version?

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

i just downloaded the crouton script at http://goo.gl/fd3zc then i ran it, then i typed sudo startxfte4

I dont see anywhere that says about version, is this once x has started? I dont know where to look for version, just grepped the crouton scriipt and couldnt see version threre

dnschneid commented 11 years ago
  1. How did you run the crouton script? You typed in sudo sh -e crouton ....something. What was that "something"?
  2. Open a new tab in Chromium OS, type in about:version and hit enter. Record what the first line says.
gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

sudo sh -e Downloads/crouton ..... i think

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

i ran sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce

dnschneid commented 11 years ago

Run: delete-chroot precise to delete your chroot, then try sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce 2>&1 | tee ~/Downloads/crouton.log and if after that completes sudo startxfce4 doesn't work, paste the contents of the crouton.log file here.

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

ive got a theory on what might be happening,,,,, chromeos screen dims during install and i usually have to log in again when i have finished the install , i think that chromeos removes the environment when im not logged in, e.g. most times when im not logged in I cant see my OWN downloads directory in dev shell.

dnschneid commented 11 years ago

The log got cut off. Could you stick it on pastebin and link it here? Crouton doesn't actually operate out of your user directory unless you force it to, so that's probably not the case.

Looks fine to me. What does running sudo startxfce4 from crosh spit out?

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

Nothing! It just flashes up, starting xserver then the screen goes black for about 20 second s and then I'm back at the chromeos login screen On Jan 28, 2013 2:00 AM, "David Schneider" notifications@github.com wrote:

sudo startxfce4 2>&1 | tee startxfce4.log and post the startxfce4.log file, please.

Weeiirrdd. Are you running this from a guest session, or is there something else interesting about your accounts?

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

Running from chronos account, i guess it's not acrouton problem, and something weird about my machine, strange thing is, this is after a restore using my google recovery disk! On Jan 31, 2013 7:41 AM, "David Schneider" notifications@github.com wrote:

I mean the Google account(s) that you're logged into (or if you're in a guest session).

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

Er, not that i know of, how could my google account affect this? On Jan 31, 2013 7:48 AM, "David Schneider" notifications@github.com wrote:

If you're just logged in to a normal account, it should be fine. I'm out of ideas, sorry.

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

It's fine, close the ticket,i don't think it's crouton related.thanks for all of your time On Jan 31, 2013 7:52 AM, "David Schneider" notifications@github.com wrote:

Thanks for digging into it. Feel free to comment if you figure things out, or re-open if you dig some more and suspect it is related to crouton after all.

dnschneid commented 11 years ago

As discovered in #18, if you've been using VT2 to launch the chroot, it won't work. Use crosh (Ctrl+Alt+T) instead.

gregnwosu commented 11 years ago

im sorry! i didnt even know that you could launch shell with ctrl+t!

dnschneid commented 11 years ago

Not a problem! I've added it to the instructions now. I'm just glad it wasn't something device-dependent.
