i installed crouton the easy way because i was loosing my patience with the other way. And then i got to a point where i needed to use the xiwi target and i realized i was screwed. how do i add these targets into the already installed method? i need the xiwi target but cant redo everything.

@theIQsniper,

You can update your existing chroot(s) to add any target after the fact by using crouton's '-u' option.

You didn't show us the output of sudo edit-chroot -all so we don't know what your chroot name is nor what targets you've already installed but, for simplification, I'll assume you have the default 'xenial' distro installed.

This would be the command to use to install the 'xiwi' xmethod target in your chroot:

If your chroot has a different name then use it instead.

When adding the 'xiwi' xmethod you'll also need to install the 'crouton integration' extension from here.

Hope this helps, -DennisLfromGA
