I'm still having this exact issue even after downgrading. Tried updating crouton. Any ideas on what I could try next? This is what the error log says:
[ 2141.379] Initializing built-in extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER crouton: version 1-20150730171703~master:f8fdfb0c UPDATE: I found a solution for this issue: #1938 has some instructions that worked for me. |

Here is corresponding output from my (downgraded, update disabled) version: So, it looks like I am using an earlier version than you got to by downgrading. As far as the instructions from #1938 you reference, here's what I see for video devices: Is that what you saw? |

No, this is what it shows me: $ ls -l /dev/dri Although every time I restart the computer I have to rerun the two commands from #1938 for xfce to start again. |

Get the newest crouton install and Run.
It will open a program, possibly give some errors, but allow you to upgrade Ubuntu to the latest LTS, after which I've never had any problems with anything! |

@DoomGekicher -
or, if you're already in your ~/Downloads folder like in your example:

All these doesn't work for me . |

precise + veyron + xorg is not a working combo at the moment. Could you please update with the latest crouton, try launching, and post /tmp/Xorg.crouton.1.log when it fails? In the meantime, use trusty or xiwi. |

I came through the same error and I cannot recall myself doing any upgrade of chromeOS caused this problem. Before I had the problem, I seamless used the I put my recent failure log(Xorg.crouton.1.log) in this gist page. Hope I can help to dig into this problem. I'll try to re-install my Update: After carefully looking into the log file it seems the error changed from early |

I had this same issue, ASUS C100, used the hack here. It would work for a session or two but then my cursor would disappear and my desktop wouldn't work correctly. I uninstalled it, reinstalled with xiwi and tried it. Only done it for a day, but it seems to work. |

Guys, there's an easy solution to this problem. Now type: sudo rm /dev/dri/card0 Type: sudo mv /dev/dri/card1 /dev/dri/card0 Now exit (exit), and do the sudo startunity or sudo startxfce4 command. NOTE: Once you finish typing all of the commands, you don't need to type them in every time you want to start a chroot session. However, from a fresh boot-up, you DO need to do this same procedure. |

It would be fantastic if there were a permanent fix for this, as it is obviously impacting other users Same error message for the last two years... Also, thanks @danielpyon for the fix, that also worked for me (Asus C201 arm/rockchip RK3288C chromebook) |

Yeah, I tried a few things that are mentioned in this article, and none seem to work. |

@StinkyDub - Have you tried using the 'trusty' release, it has worked for others. |

Trusty xorg on jerry should work just fine out of box without messing with /dev/dri/card* (I just tried it). |
|
I do see the error on precise without the /dev/dri hacking. |
|
Okay, pushed out a fix. The latest crouton should fix all of the /dev/dri/card* issues, so please delete any hacks you have in your rc.local or wherever else you put them. |

Except this issue is about having trouble starting X11. If you can switch, you've already gotten it to the point where it's working, so this is not the right bug. |
