hello. ive installed crouton on my chromebook pixel 2 i7 sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r trusty -t unity,touch,xiwi

it works at first, i update intel drivers, install software center, install google chrome, install kodi. still works after reboots. then an update came up in ubuntu, i updated and now i get this:

Initializing built-in extension DRI2 Loading extension GLX xf86: found device 0 xf86: found device 0 /usr/bin/xinit: XFree86_VT property unexpectedly has 0 items instead of 1 crouton: version 1-20150620222151~master:89796a99 release: trusty architecture: amd64 xmethod: xiwi targets: unity,touch,xiwi host: version 6946.70.0 (Official Build) stable-channel samus kernel: Linux localhost 3.14.0 #1 SMP Tue Jul 7 18:14:48 PDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux freon: yes Error: not connected.

i have no idea what causes this. im still learning ubuntu so im not a pro. very much a beginner.

@troymz Did you already try to update crouton on crosh window? sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -u -n trusty

Regards.

troymz commented 9 years ago

Yes I did. It's showing the latest croutob

tista500 commented 9 years ago

OK. so https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/1490#issuecomment-80147622 could help? (I don't know how xiwi runs though...)

Regards.

I've been getting the same issue lately. After searching in vain through the other issues, I ended up powerwashing and starting from scratch. It worked the first couple of times yesterday, this morning I turned on the computer and it stopped working again, same issue :(

troymz commented 9 years ago

@tista500 i tried that command, it broke my chroot. i just reinstalled my chroot and it is still giving same error. i dont understand. ive tried powerwashing. same errors

tista500 commented 9 years ago

Greetings,

I can't understand why re-installing broke the whole system... It might be better to follow this issue: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/1519 Because they're talking about new Pixel and intel driver, however, I don't know they're talking about xiwi or freon...

If you don't mind, how about using freon?

Regards.

troymz commented 9 years ago

i dont know what freon is. i followed a guide about xiwi to get it in its own window to avoid having to do alt+shift+ctrl+back. but i will take a look at that issue

troymz commented 9 years ago

i dont have an issues with a black screen. i have tried updating my intel drivers from download.01.org. nothing seems to work.

dnschneid commented 9 years ago

You don't need updated intel drivers for xiwi. Does updating your chroot complete successfully? What's the output of sudo edit-chroot -al?
