Crouton: [SOLVED] Linux Won't Open on Chromebook; xinit won't load

Okay, a little embarrassed here. I decided to just test some things I thought would work (thinking I probably wouldn't have gotten anything), but miraculously found the answer. The folder the Kali-Linux startup is held in is /usr/bin/startxfce4. Since I had access to the chroot still, this is the steps it took to start it:
crosh> _shell_
chronos@localhost / $ _sudo enter-chroot_
Entering /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/kali-rolling...
(kali-rolling)user@localhost:~$ _sudo su_
[sudo] password for user: _(Input pass-code)_
(kali-rolling)root@localhost:/home/user# _/usr/bin/startxfce4_
This would force the folder to open, therefore forcing Linux to open up. I have given these steps to a friend with a different Chromebook and a different distribution and it still worked, all he had to do was replace "xfce4" with his environment, "kde".
I hope those who come across this can find the answer works for them (as it should!)

@anonymouseprogrammer, _et all_,

PLEASE do not launch startxfce4 or any of the start* scripts in the chroot as root, it will hose your permissions and many things will fail after that.

If you've done that tho, you can fix it with the following -

sudo enter-chroot
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 "$HOME"
exit

I believe the original issue is caused by the installation of 'xserver-xorg-legacy'.
A workaround for it is here: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/3310#issuecomment-313692575

A PR is in the works but not yet approved and merged.

Hope this helps,
