You now must use the silence branch:

sudo CROUTON_BRANCH=silence crouton -r xenial -t xfce

This will prevent crouton from attempting to compile cras, as the 3rd-party tool called autotools has been removed from the repositories.

You now need to delete your chroot and start over.

thank you, but now its not letting me run sudo startxfce4 from VT-2. i cant use Sudo in crosh

[CroutonIsFun]

Right... You can use sudo in VT-2, but then you can't launch the desktop. VT-2 is based on FreCon, and does not allow a graphics session. So inside your chroot, you need to install ssh, and once it's installed, activate it with

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start

After all this, go over to the crosh shell, and ssh into localhost with

ssh foo@localhost

Once you get inside your chroot, you can launch startxfce4

I know it sounds convoluted, but it's easy once you've done it a few times.

got sudo to run in crosh, thanks

[thed3x7er500]

everytime i run sudo startfce4, it opens up and crashes. not sure if its corrupted or broken but it says that this is a known issue.

[CroutonIsFun]

Your close, but not there yet. From VT-2, you have to install SSH. So go,

sudo enter-chroot

Now, inside your chroot, go

sudo apt install ssh

The above install only has to be done once. When the installation completes, go

sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start

Every time you restart your Chromebook, you will need to login to VT-2, go sudo enter-chroot followed by sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start

Finally, go over to crosh, and go ssh foo@localhost

The first time you do this, you will have to type yes, you want to add this connection.

Now that you're inside the chroot from crosh, only now, you can go,

sudo startxfce4

These are the steps. You need to understand how and why this works. It's currently the only known way to launch a crouton desktop.
