Will Ubuntu 20.04 focal support crouton?

@JakunGamer,

Ubuntu 20.04 focal and 19..10 eoan are available to install in crouton, see below:

chronos@localhost ~ $ crouton -r list
Recognized debian releases:
    potato! woody! sarge! etch! lenny! squeeze! wheezy! jessie stretch buster
    bullseye sid
Recognized kali releases:
    moto! kali! sana! kali-rolling
Recognized ubuntu releases:
    warty! hoary! breezy! dapper! edgy! feisty! gutsy! hardy! intrepid! jaunty!
    karmic! lucid! maverick! natty! oneiric! precise! quantal! raring! saucy!
    trusty! utopic! vivid! wily! xenial yakkety! zesty! artful! bionic* cosmic!
    disco! eoan* focal*
Releases marked with ! are upstream end-of-life, and should be avoided.
Releases marked with * are unsupported, but may work with some effort.

Notice though that eoan & focal have an asterisk appended to them so they're currently unsupported.

This was brought up recently in issue #4265 and the crouton author explained the situation, see below:

We have pretty limited time to go through and repair all the compatibility issues that appear in each release, so we've been sticking to every-other LTS as the default crouton one and try to make that work as well as we can. Focal would be the next on the list, but it'll come down to when @drinkcat and I can allocate a week to hash it out. Rest assured it'll be sometime before April 2021 :)

In that same issue another user stated this about eoan:

I just tried installing Focal, but I was met with a sed error. eoan works just fine.

So, it may work for you without too much effort, I hope so.

Hope this helps,

Thank you man
I have encountered an error (maybe)
Tried Ubuntu 20.04
Needed to restart to update dbus
But in chroot, there's no restart
Any solution?

[TheRealFanjin]

@JakunGamer Yeah, a lot of people have been talking about the restarts. I think I came across that once, but I don't remember how I solved it. I think I just restarted Chrome OS and installed it again.
For example, if you do sudo crouton -r focal and it asks for a restart, restart your chromebook and do the same command again
