Does this support Cosmic Cuttlefish?

No, not yet. For a list of releases that crouton can install use the '-r list' option like:

The output of that command is shown below:

Downloading latest crouton installer...
########################################################################################################################### 100.0%

Releases marked with ! are upstream end-of-life, and should be avoided.
Releases marked with * are unsupported, but may work with some effort.

Please note that some of thoses releases are no longer supported and others are not yet supported.

If so how do I update to it?

If you want to try the latest available ubuntu release that crouton can install - but not yet support, use the '-r [release]' option like this for example:

Hope this helps, -DennisLfromGA

We should be adding new releases to the list, though...cosmic (18.10, not 18.04) is out now.

alexanderskyequinn commented 5 years ago

Ok thanks!

alexanderskyequinn commented 5 years ago

Also Just want to mention

If you want to try the latest available ubuntu release that crouton can install - but not yet support, use the '-r [release]' option like this for example:

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r bionic -t lxde-desktop

You can do Gnome or Unity or whatever other distro you prefer. just replace LXDE with whatever distro you want. For example: sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r bionic -t gnome-desktop

josephcagle commented 5 years ago

Would this last command (‘sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r bionic -t gnome-desktop’) give plain GNOME, or the Ubuntu version of it, as in a normal 18.04 install? I want to use the second one.

alexanderskyequinn commented 5 years ago

It gives the Ubuntu version of it. But I wouldn't recommend since the terminal doesn't launch. @DarthFloopy

josephcagle commented 5 years ago

" ... the terminal doesn't launch." Any clarification? How did you test this? @TheMinigun

alexanderskyequinn commented 5 years ago

The terminal doesn't open on my chroot. I tested this with my chroot @DarthFloopy

Edit: I know I'm a little late. I really don't get on github very often

DennisLfromGA commented 5 years ago

@DarthFloopy,

crouton has two gnome desktop targets to choose from, they are:

I just now installed 'gnome-desktop' on my bionic release chroot and it launches just fine: screenshot from 2019-01-07 16-24-35

You can add it to an existing chroot as follows:

I usually just use the lxde-desktop but I thought I'd test this myself.

Hope this helps, -DennisLfromGA

alexanderskyequinn commented 5 years ago

Ok Thanks @DennisLfromGA Will definitely have to update now to cosmic cuttlefish!
