Crouton: TakeDisplayOwnership error

[LufyCZ]

Hi there, I returned to ChromeOS from Gallium, and when trying to get my chroot to start up (using xorg) I get a TakeDisplayOwnership error. I am on the Dev channel (v64). I tried Unity and Gnome with bionic and artful. Is there any way to get it to work ?

Same issue for me. Started right after I updated to the most recent beta channel release of ChromOS - Version 64.0.3282.24 (Official Build) beta (64-bit). I updated my chroot to the latest and greatest and tried again, to no avail.

crosh shell output:

I have probably the same error starting gnome on artful on an asus c302.

ChromeOS Version 62.0.3202.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Gnome starts briefly, I even see the background and then it immediately crashes.

Does anyone have any advice on this issue or https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/3254 which I also am experiencing? I'm completely unable to switch into my Ubuntu environment now. Thanks.

[smartyw]

For anyone else with this issue, in the end I deleted crouton completely per https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/10 and reinstalled from scratch. I'm back up and running and didn't lose anything I can't recreate or restore.

[jwillp]

In my case doing a simple update of crouton fixed the issue

[quinten1333]

You don't need to wipe your chroot.
Just run
sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -u
this wil update all you chroots so everything should be up and running again.
Wiping the chroot worked because the preporation fase was run again, you practacaly did -u with the side effect of wiping everything. @smartyw

[smartyw]

Thanks @quinten1333 , I'll keep that in mind for the future.

[LufyCZ]

After a month, still not working, created a new chroot today (sid, gnome). Any updates ?

[toddpi314]

Just hit this on a PixelBook 2018 with Unity. Crouton update didn't help.

[catskul]

@LufyCZ why did you close this?
