Crouton: Error with crouton setup script with kali-rolling (Failure configuring Fuse)

[Cyan101]

Please describe your issue:

Trying to install Kali with sudo crouton -r kali-rolling -t xfce works until I get an error during all the extra package downloads.

Setting up fuse (2.9.9-1) ...
dpkg: error processing package fuse (--configure):
 installed fuse package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Attempting to then enter-chroot on the kali asks to run the setup script which also errors out

If known, describe the steps to reproduce the issue:

Attempt to install Kali with sudo crouton -r kali-rolling -t xfce
Wait for it to finish and check the terminal
Attempt to enter the chroot and run the setup script

Declining to complete the script setup results in this

Only other thing I can wrong during the install is this at the very start, failing to get a keyring
Installing kali-rolling-amd64 chroot to /usr/local/chroots/kali-rolling Downloading bootstrap files...

I doubt this is the cause of the issue though

My Xenial works fine

You are not the only one, I have exaclty the same problem trying to install kali-rolling.

[Cyan101]

@AllHailRNJesus What chromebook are you running and on what channel?

[AllHailRNJesus]

@Cyan101 Chromebook acer c740 (I don't know what channel).

[AllHailRNJesus]

Just checked, I am using stable.

[GioPanaro]

Same here running eve on the canary channel

In face, fuse is not the only thing that fails for me. Gnome also fails

same problem happens when installing debian bullseye.

According to https://superuser.com/questions/790754/errors-were-encountered-while-processing-fuse there could be an error in the post installation scripts syntax, not too sure how to check or anything though

[AllHailRNJesus]

@Cyan101 When i checked out the fuse.postinst file using vim according to the link you provided, i see that the line that they mention over at superuser (which supposedly is the solution):
udevadm test -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/fuse) > /dev/null 2>&1
is instead the following:
udevadm test --action -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/fuse) > /dev/null 2>&1

I'm going to try changing --action to -a and see if i can get it to work or not.
Update: changing --action to -a did not do anything

[AllHailRNJesus]

I also found this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=935885

[Asternitix]

bullseye is fixed.

[Asternitix]

no idea how

[AllHailRNJesus]

@Asternitix did you see what version of fuse was installed when it was fixed? They might have fixed it by updating to a newer version of fuse in bullseye.

[AllHailRNJesus]

According to the link I posted above, the issue is supposedly fixed in the latest version of fuse 2.9.9.2
I assume we will have to wait until crouton kali-rolling is updated.

[Cyan101]

where is the kali-rolling in crouton? would happily update it and PR myself

[AllHailRNJesus]

Does anyone have any ideas for how to get/update crouton to use the latest version of fuse? I looked around in the code but I couldn't find anything that seemed useful in this regard.

[Cyan101]

Same, am wondering if it's up to Kali to update their source/apt to the
latest version or what. Not sure how to have crouton install a specific
version either

it isn't fixed, I only used the core target.

there are some targets that use fuse and some that don't, the targets that do should be modified.

afaik it's required for kali, not in any targets. Doing a search for fuse in this repo doesn't return much so not too sure how to set a specific version to install in the script. Surprised fuse is optional too

Temporary Fix

sudo enter-chroot -u root -n kali-rolling

http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse2_2.9.9-2_amd64.deb
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/fuse_2.9.9-2_amd64.deb
Download these and install them with dpkg -i, don't download them into your downloads as they give a keyring error.

After that exit the chroot and let it unmount, then sudo crouton -u -n kali-rolling to update/run the setup script again.

This still needs a proper fix, kali's source/apt sends the -1 version so might need to add a manual install of -2 version into the kali setup script

[Asternitix]

thanks.

[Asternitix]

in debian, dpkg requires forcing, but still works.

[RomHtK]

Thanx for this Temporary Fix
