Trouble with 'sudo startxfce4' after linux installation on chromeOS #4166
Comments

Duplicated error, Samsung XE303C12. I used to use crouton with LXDE, so I'm going to try that instead... here's the output of trying to start Xfce: |
|
no luck with Xenial and LXDE... i must've used Trusty.. it's all coming back to me now... this is why i got away from crouton and started using Arch Linux... but i'm back just to test x264 video in crouton because that worked, whereas in Arch it doesn't work full screen... even with xf86-video-fbdev driver and config file, which improves graphics. so i'm just gonna bite the bullet on this and run: oh no! well R.I.P. crouton |
|
Like I said, I'm very new to this, but the help is much appreciated! My main purpose for installing linux is because I need to use the Arduino IDE and Processing on the only portable laptop I currently own. Do you know of any other route I could take to have compatibility with that software? Currently I'm planning on settling for an arduino and a processing app on my phone, but there are issues there too that I'll need to figure out. |

i recommend trying Archbk it's based on these Arch Linux instructions: just don't use a USB stick. it won't work. and the SD Card you use should really be 4 GB at the extreme least, but at least 8 GB to make sure you can install dev packages. and then you'll have to download the Arduino IDE source code and compile it (???).. so you'll need to install developer packages, etc. the Arch Linux Arduino page gives me the impression that there might be some issues. http://blog.tklee.org/2014/10/arduino-ide-158-on-banana-pi.html i really know nothing about arduino. but my Arch Linux on XE303C12 installation is quite functional and stable. i'm currently working on an Arch Linux installation image for the XE303C12, and i have most of the issues worked out, including graphics acceleration, caps lock, audio, etc, but i want to try to get full GPU support before releasing it. |
|
I appreciate all the help! Looking at all of the info you provided, I think it's a viable path, but I doubt my competency in making it work. If you or anyone else finds a way to resolve the initial post, definitely let me know. For now, I'll see if I can use my phone for the purposes of getting my project done and revisit Arch Linux at a later date. |

ok i just uploaded my current Arch Linux setup on the XE303C12. it's basically for me right now, and the scripts prompt for things in the middle.. but hey.. seriously.. if you want the best distro on that XE303C12 right now, this is it. you can at least get files 3 and 4 from my repo to patch caps lock, improve video, and get audio working... after running archbk. but archbk will just dump you out into a command line with NOTHING.. but.. at least that way you can set things up from scratch how you want.. anyway, my "distro" isn't tested as-is yet... so no guarantees.. |
|
i hear that.. it's a bunch of command line stuff, these scripts, and Archbk, and Arch in general. but i'm working to make an image- so it's extremely easy, no command line, no hassle. |
|
That feels like it would be way more approachable for the layman like me. I'm not even sure what an image or a distro is in this context beyond what you just described. Not having to do command line feels ideal as I have no prior experience with it at all. |
|
installing the official Arduino IDE from their website is working flawlessly.. i can't really thoroughly test it, but they have an image for ARMv7 32 bit which i downloaded, extracted, and ran the install.sh, and it works... |
|
All (using ARM chips), Please see this topic comment for a possible workaround: Hope this helps, |
|
Thanks for the advice in that topic. Unfortunately, that xiwi update didn't work for me as it ended in another error message. All I did was ctrl+alt+T, shell, sudo crouton -n xenial -t xiwi -u without altering any of the steps I took previously. If you have any ideas or if I did something wrong, definitely let me know! Thank you again. |

@jcd83a this is not quite as easy as an image, but it's about as easy as crouton, and better than an image. it does require an SD Card or a lucky USB drive (not all USB's are created equal). |
I'm having the same issue and its a complete and utter pain. I am not a coder whatsoever and its a nightmare........ |

try installing a ver. of ubuntu in end-of-life i installed precise on my and it worked.. run this command |

Please describe your issue: I was having trouble with online tutorials for how to install linux on a chrome book when I saw #4026 I then did a factory reset on my device, enabled developer mode, then followed the README exactly. Everything goes smoothly until the 'sudo startxfce' line where I put in my passphrase and password upon request and then it spits out an error. I'll copy paste the full output and error within below. I'm extremely new to all this, so I could be doing something quite obviously wrong. I also already tried 'sudo crouton -n chrootname -u' with xenial as my chrootname since thats what 'sudo edit-chroot -all' gave me. And I saw #4131 has a similar issue, but no one but me has responded to it. The chromebook I'm using is a model XE303C12. Please help! If you need any more info I missed, just ask. Thank you
