I want to install the chroot to another location Downloading bootstrap files over and over again is a waste of time Targets are cool. Abusing them for fun and profit is even cooler Help! I've created a monster that must be slain!
Tips Issues? I want to be a Contributor! Are there other, non-Contributory ways I can help? But how? But first Moving on Prerequisites You need a device running Chromium OS that has been switched to developer mode. That's it! Usage crouton is a powerful tool, and there are a lot of features, but basic usage is as simple as possible by design. Exit the chroot by logging out of Xfce. With encryption! Add the -e parameter when you run crouton to create an encrypted chroot or encrypt a non-encrypted chroot.
You can get some extra protection on your chroot by storing the decryption key separately from the place the chroot is stored.
Use the -k parameter to specify a file or directory to store the keys in such as a USB drive or SD card when you create the chroot. Beware that if you lose this file, your chroot will not be decryptable. That's kind of the point, of course. Run crouton -r list to list the recognized releases and which distros they belong to. Wasteful redundancies are wasteful: one clipboard, one browser, one window Install the crouton extension into Chromium OS. Add the extension or xiwi version to your chroot.
Try some copy-pasta, or uninstall all your web browsers from the chroot. I don't always use Linux, but when I do, I use CLI You can save a chunk of space by ditching X and just installing command-line tools using -t core or -t cli-extra Enter the chroot in as many crosh shells as you want simultaneously using sudo enter-chroot Use the Crosh Window extension to keep Chromium OS from eating standard keyboard shortcuts.
If you installed cli-extra, startcli will launch a new VT right into the chroot. A new version of crouton came out; my chroot is therefore obsolete and sad Exit the chroot if you have it open. It will update all installed targets. Add 'xiwi' or any other target to an existing chroot with the -u option: sudo crouton -t xiwi -u -n chrootname This will also make 'xiwi' the default xmethod. If you want to keep the 'xorg' xmethod as the default then pick it first: sudo sh crouton -t xorg,xiwi -u -n chrootname A backup a day keeps the price-gouging data restoration services away sudo edit-chroot -b chrootname backs up your chroot to a timestamped tarball in the current directory.
Chroots are named either via the -n parameter when created or by the release name if -n was not specified. You can explicitly specify the tarball with -f If your machine is new, powerwashed, or held upside-down and shaken, you can use the crouton installer to restore a chroot and relevant scripts: sudo crouton -f mybackup.
Check out the edit-chroot command; it likely does what you need it to do. If you set a Chromium OS root password, you can change it with sudo chromeos-setdevpasswd You can change the password inside your chroot with passwd I want to install the chroot to another location Use -p to specify the directory in which to install the chroot and scripts. Be sure to quote or escape spaces. Helpful 0 Not Helpful 1. Submit a Tip All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published.
Be careful once you install this, as the Crouton once installed allows for unlimited system access. Helpful 2 Not Helpful 0. Helpful 1 Not Helpful 0. Helpful 1 Not Helpful 1. Related wikiHows How to.
