Please paste the output of the following command here: sudo edit-chroot -all

Sorry, this was an old error, so I currently don't have the output.

Please describe your issue:

I tried to install Debian Jessie, when I typed sudo startxfce4 it gets an XServer error and exits.

If known, describe the steps to reproduce the issue:

Can I get some help @dnschneid ... or anyone?

@idSoftwareWolf,

Please paste the output of the following command here: sudo edit-chroot -all
Then we'll know a little more about what we're dealing with.

Sorry, this was an old error, so I currently don't have the output.

Can you reproduce it and show us or are you no longer getting any error messages?

#3711 @DennisLfromGA Follow-up problem...

[DennisLfromGA]

@idSoftwareWolf,

Without any error output, it's difficult to say but it might be related to an upstream bug:

• debootstrap: Figure out why debootstrap > 1.0.92~bpo9+1 is broken debootstrap: Figure out why debootstrap > 1.0.92~bpo9+1 is broken #3713

@drinkcat, a crouton dev, filed an upstream bug report and they're working on that issue so it should get fixed soon.

Hope this helps,

All,

A fix had been merged now that seems to address the debootstrap problem.
You can do a quick test with something like the following: crouton -r xenial -d -f xenial.bs

If that completes successfully then you can use the '.bs' bootstrap file to install your new chroot with something like this: sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -n xenial -f xenial.bs -t ....

Please re-open this issue if it's not fixed and give us some more details.
