Please describe your issue:

Getting an unknown error(s) with GNOME (sid).

Chrome OS developer Shell (crosh) does have errors as shown:

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.chromium.LibCrosService was not provided by any .service files

If known, describe the steps to reproduce the issue:

When running sudo crouton -t gnome -r sid GNOME installs fine.
When running sudo startgnome GNOME does not start right.

@MrHallway0

Try it in an Ubuntu release like xenial for instance instead of a pure Debian release.

Hope this helps,

Well... now it crashes when I open it.

errors in crosh shell:

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.chromium.LibCrosService was not provided by any .service files
method return time=1604005186.364025 sender=:1.18 -> destination=:1.292 serial=20001 reply_serial=2
   boolean true

It also shows the mouse and a black screen for a split second.

Did GNOME work with any _older_ Crouton release?

Yes, it worked for me but it was very laggy

GNOME works on older version although it lacks support for a large sum of software.

[marauder316]

Ah, ok.

Is this problem only with GNOME?

[MrHallway0]

@marauder316
I think so... I don't know about Ubuntu (unity), my Chromebook doesn't have a good chunk of storage to spare.
Edit: Seems to be on other desktops too (#4461, #4395, #4375, #4399).
