repeated prompt during couton install xfce

[dnschneid]

It's probably failing at downloading Xephyr; the version changed today and the old one disappeared on the ARM mirror. I updated the download URL in crouton a couple hours ago; try grabbing the latest crouton and running the same command you did earlier to create the chroot (with -u to update it so you don't have to start from scratch), and it should work.

[ipstone]

thanks a lot! trying it now

[ipstone]

no luck, tried this: sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce -u
restart the process, but give the same message, the time I run: sudo startxfce4 ... A chroot preparation script still exists inside the chroot.

is the link correct: I download it from: http://goo.gl/fd3zc

[dnschneid]

Yep, that's correct. Can you post the log from after you say "yes" to configuration?

[ipstone]

here is the whole log (sorry for the length), I'll try to remove everything and do a reinstall to see what happens next.

That's super-strange. There should be a bunch of automated steps after the "Base system installed successfully" line...

Can you post the contents of /usr/local/chroots/precise/prepare.sh? Thanks!

[ipstone]

yes, strange, solved now: it's because my previous installation process wasn't completed. after remove the chroot, reinstall, everything works perfectly. I am amazed by the responsiveness of the system, and by your quick replies! Thanks, Sir

[miracle000]

i am having the same problem cleared my drive several times, tried different network,, is there any way i can download this UID1000 seperately?

[Unixware]

seems the crouton is a train wreck, same shit with this error on a newly created chroot!

[DennisLfromGA]

@Unixware, If you need help, this is the place to get it. Usually all that's needed is the full output of croutonversion from within the chroot and the error output.

[Unixware]

after a powerwash, wheezy and trusty are ok, seems the issue is with precise only , so far that I test.

[miracle000]

xo what do you suggest we do, do we scram or keep trying until system get burnt,,, lol.....

[dnschneid]

@miracle000 open a new bug with the output of the installer.

[ghosttrax]

I've got the same problem. I've tried Trusty and Precise. Powerwash and reinstall didn't fix it. Any ideas?

[Unixware]

@ghosttrax did you try saucy? It works for me.

[ghosttrax]

@Unixware
I get the same thing. Installation errors with this:

2014-07-28 12:54:12 (276 KB/s) - written to stdout [68069]

Cannot figure out CRAS branch or commit ID.
Failed to complete chroot setup.
Unmounting /usr/local/chroots/saucy...

When I try to run it is when I get UID 1000 error.

[Pascalsmits]

tried Trusty but returns an error - reinstalled several times.
Any idea's how to get it up and running?

[drinkcat]

@ghosttrax / @Pascalsmits : That's a problem with the CRAS/ALSA plugin (not related to this particular issue).

Can either of you open a new issue, and post a bit more output of the installer (at least 20 lines), as well the output cat /etc/lsb-release?

[ghosttrax]

@drinkcat Thanks. New issue raised: #947
