I installed chroot w/o Xiwi. Can I add it subsequently? If so...how?

Please paste the output of the following command here: sudo edit-chroot -all

hronos@localhost / $ sudo edit-chroot -all

Please describe your issue: How can I add xiwi so that I can use the crouton integration?

If known, describe the steps to reproduce the issue: I installed chroot using the following link and then found out about the crouton integration. https://www.howtogeek.com/162120/how-to-install-ubuntu-linux-on-your-chromebook-with-crouton/

@Caedmon26,

Sure, just update your chroot adding the 'xiwi' target at the same time like this:

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -n xenial -t xiwi -u

That will make 'xiwi' the new default xmethod so to launch your desktop with 'xorg' use:

sudo startxfce4 -X xorg

Also with 'xiwi' installed you can launch it in a window by default or in fullscreen with -X xiwi-fullscreen or in a tab with -X xiwi-tab

Hope this helps,
-DennisL

Thank you. Will it have to do the whole process over again? It took about 25 mins. At first switching wasn't working, I'd switch over to chrome os and upon returning to ubuntu i got some kind of login screen. But now it's switching back and forth nicely. It's mildly satisfying to be running firefox with flash on a chromebook. There was some forced update today that killed my access to the google play store and all the apps I had put on this machine. So I went this route.

It's a samsung chromebook 3 that still has the play store access in development for secure channel. I switched to developer channel which gave me access to play store apps...but now it doesn't seem available on either beta or developer channel.

@Caedmon26,

Will it have to do the whole process over again?

Not exactly, it does go through a crouton update and chroot update but it doesn't take nearly as long as the initial install.

I switched to developer channel which gave
me access to play store apps...but now it doesn't seem available on either
beta or developer channel.

Yup, it was rolled out accidentally and now pulled I've heard.
Such is life on the beta/dev channels though. It may be worth the wait though 'cause it looks like nougat is slowly rolling out.

CBC: Samsung Chromebook 11 G5 on dev channel. Lost Play Store after new update.

reddit/chromeos: Just got this notification after updating, but no Play Store or option to activate it.. (Acer Chromebook 14)

Hope this helps,
-DennisL

No problem.
I'll close this now since I think the issue is resolved.
