Install fails, project abandoned?

[soppelmann]

follow the installation guide executing sudo sh -e installer/main.sh -r arch -t xfce returns

tar: bash-4.4.005-1/depends: Not found in archive

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

reproduced with -r arch -t xiwi,gnome. looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time.

I personally moved over to https://github.com/elkangaroo/chroagh a while ago, it worked until recently. Using this project and an archive mirror I was able to set up a new arch chroot successfully.

# sh -e installer/main.sh -r arch -t xiwi,xfce -n test2 -m 'https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2016/06/30/$repo/os/$arch'

Updating the packages after installation should work.

That sadly did not work for me, same result.

Unfortunately, my Chromebook has passed away since I posted this, I can't reproduce the issue anymore. However maybe you can try my fork https://github.com/vswarte/chroagh as it introduces some additional bugfixes too.

Hope it helps, remember being fairly frustrated myself trying to figure all of it out.

So I gave this another shot, I am very very close to getting this working, all I needed to do was to change one letter in the bootstrap file since keep and overwrite was conflicting (remove the k at tar -xkf), then I needed to sign two keys because the iso I am using is ancient because I kept running into the problems that Shayf was having with the newer iso's. Now I am at the error saying

Compiling CRAS (native)... common/cras_config.c: In function 'cras_config_get_system_socket_file_dir': common/cras_config.c:16:9: error: 'CRAS_SOCKET_FILE_DIR' undeclared (first use in this function) return CRAS_SOCKET_FILE_DIR; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ common/cras_config.c:16:9: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in common/cras_config.c:17:1: error: control reaches end of non-void function [-Werror=return-type] } ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors Failed to complete chroot setup. Unmounting /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/arch...

But this must be an issue with the ancient version of crouton i am using. I'll try uploading these changes to a new repo if I get this working.

Edit: save yourself the trouble and use this repo, https://github.com/qntmpkts/chroagh
