UID 1000 not found in bionic

[goelvatsal]

Please describe your issue:

I just installed Ubuntu 18.04/18.10 on a Chromebook Acer R11 and I get, "UID 1000 not found in bionic"

If known, describe the steps to reproduce the issue:

sudo startunity
Entering /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/bionic...
UID 1000 not found in bionic
unmounting /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/bionic...

It sounds like it didn't finish, did you get any errors when you installed it?
What was the complete command you entered to install it?

You could run the following and see if it will ask you to finish the setup -

• sudo enter-chroot -n bionic

You could also just run a crouton update with -

• sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -n bionic -u

If you've made crouton executable with the new method just use -

• sudo crouton -n bionic -u

---

There are at least a couple of issues others have encountered when installing bionic, for more details see -

• bionic install fails when "Unable to locate package i3" bionic install fails when "Unable to locate package i3" #4020
• Bionic install failure: The following packages have unmet dependencies (xorg, xserver-xorg-video-intel) Bionic install failure: The following packages have unmet dependencies (xorg, xserver-xorg-video-intel) #3995

Both of those issues have some technical workarounds so if you've run into one or both of them you may be able to get it working.

Hope this helps,

Hi DennisLfromGA,
I have just typed in the command(sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -n bionic -u) right now. I will reply back later if I have any issues.

Thanks,

@goelvatsal,

It looks like you're now running into the second issue I linked above:

• Bionic install failure: The following packages have unmet dependencies (xorg, xserver-xorg-video-intel) Bionic install failure: The following packages have unmet dependencies (xorg, xserver-xorg-video-intel) #3995

Take a look at that for a workaround.

Hope this helps,
