Crouton: How to -t xiwi but keep -t xorg default?

Created on 23 Jul 2017 · 4Comments · Source: dnschneid/crouton

Please describe your issue:

I usually use my own notes tutorial to set up a chroot that starts with:

sudo sh ~/Downloads/.crouton -r xenial -t xiwi,xfce,keyboard
sudo sh ~/Downloads/.crouton -n xenial -u -t xorg

My question is: is there a way to merge them into one line? I mean, I want xiwi to be installed, but I want xorg to keep being the default one, that's why I do this update after that, but it takes too much unnecessary time (I mean, xorg is installed anyway if I target xiwi, right? Question#2).

Also, I'm not sure if it is the right place to ask, I think I shouldn't be doing questions here. If that's the case please let me know. Also, please tell where I can ask questions like this about crouton.

Thank you. :)

@jvschiavo,

Just installed a new chroot specifying -t xorg,xiwi,.... and 'xorg' was indeed the default xmethod so if 'xorg' is specified before 'xiwi' it will be the default, alleviating the need to update the chroot with the second command.

Hope this helps,

@jvschiavo,

I believe the first xmethod specified will be the default, so the following should install both 'xorg' & 'xiwi' but make 'xorg' the default:

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r xenial -t xorg,xiwi,xfce,keyboard

NOTE: I removed the dot '.' in front of crouton, not sure why it was there????

And this is the place to ask questions also, no worries. :)

Hope this helps,

I really hope that the order makes the difference, thank you. I will try that.

And about the dot, it is something that I do. I name it .crouton because it stays hidden on my Downloads folder, so I don't keep seeing it in the file explorer of the Chrome OS and also there is less risk of deleting it accidentally etc. haha :)

Just wanted to say that I used it now and I can confirm too that this works. Thank you.
