xfce keeps crashing about crouton HOT 7 OPEN

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

from crouton.

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.
