Switch back to chroot X not working

[JohnAllanSmith]

Hello Everyone! I have a problem when I want to switch from my Chromebook env back to chrooted-X. From X to chromebook works, I press SHIFT+CRTL+ALT+BACK_BUTTON however, when I want to switch from Chromebook to Chroot, it fails, the cursor disappear but my X window doesn't come back.

Any ideas on how can get the switching back to my Linux environment working? Thanks!

Here are some details if that helps:

Model: Chromebook 2, Toshiba B3340.

crouton: version 1-20150511154233~master:392b84e4 release: jessie architecture: amd64 xmethod: xorg targets: xorg host: version 6812.88.0 (Official Build) stable-channel swanky kernel: Linux localhost 3.10.18 #1 SMP Fri May 8 16:05:18 PDT 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux freon: no

My xinitrc:

!/bin/bash

while true do LOCALTIME=$(date "+%F %R") xsetroot -name "$LOCALTIME" sleep 5s done &

exec dwm

Here's what I see in the Chome shell tab while switching:

You are probably experiencing #1475 . Once your device is fully transitioned to freon this problem will be gone. If it is indeed the same issue then please close this one. Thanks.

Hi divx118. thanks for getting back to me. It is still an open issue. I've commented in #1475 . Not sure if there's any solution. The strange thing is that this worked a while back and I'm not sure what may have brake this. I haven't upgraded crouton.

chromeos is updated. They are moving away from the X-server in chromeos and introducing freon. They do it step by step, once the transition is fully done and you are on freon it should be solved. The issue is indeed open and probably will be a won't fix for the above reason. Until then pressing ctr-C in the crosh terminal window to close your chroot is the best way to log out of your chroot.
