I had the same problem. Removing the recently installed xserver-xorg-legacy package fixed it.

@notimaginative Thanks so much!!! It worked. Some people were telling me to mess with dm-vertity on reddit.

Hey Guys, same issue here. Trying to figure out how to remove the package, seems that debian shell commands such as apt-get purge are not working. Any ideas?

[notimaginative]

@giltee If you are running jessie or newer then "sudo apt remove --purge xserver-xorg-legacy" should do what you need. If it doesn't work for some reason then apt-get instead of apt, with the same commands otherwise, should do it.

[giltee]

interestingly enough both commands do not seem to be available. Seems odd that chrome OS doesn't have their own package manager type dealio.

[notimaginative]

@giltee You have to do it from within the chroot. "sudo enter-chroot" should still work fine and get you to a command line where you can remove the package. Once the package has been removed exit the chroot (with "exit" or Ctrl-D) and then "sudo startxfce4 -b" should work again.

@notimaginative OMG face palm for this guy

@Cryptiiiic No need to be a jerk when someone is simply trying to learn.
