(Question) Setup Arch with no Desktop Environment #45

Closed nlvw closed 10 years ago

nlvw commented 10 years ago

So my question is basically how do I setup the chroot without a desktop environment? Also what else do I need to do to get the "host-x11" command working so I can launch applications from Archlinux into the chrome os environment (basically something like skype in another window instead of switching into the chroot).

To setup the chroot without a DE, replace xfce with something else, such as: sudo sh -e installer/main.sh -r arch -t cli-extra No idea as for "host-x11".

thank you. I also found a few ways of running the linux apps within chromeos. http://www.reddit.com/r/Crouton/comments/2c9v0u/using_crouton_with_broadway_to_run_gtk_apps_in/ http://www.reddit.com/r/Crouton/comments/2bnviz/running_crouton_applications_directly_in_chromeos/
