Hello, I think I'm getting the same issue. On a Sandy Bridge laptop with just the integrated gpu running cloudready (94.4.4 (Home Build) stable-channel 64-bit), for both the unity and unity-desktop targets on xenial the result is a wallpaper and only mouse.

I'm using this command for the install: sudo crouton -r xenial -t unity

The installed chroot looks like this:

chronos@localhost / $ sudo edit-chroot -all name: xenial encrypted: no Entering /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/xenial... crouton: version 1-20210907212903~master:9b281df5 release: xenial architecture: amd64 xmethod: xorg targets: unity host: version 94.4.4 (Developer Build - neverware) stable-channel chromeover64 kernel: Linux localhost 5.4.147+ #1 SMP Tue Nov 30 08:00:00 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux freon: yes Unmounting /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/xenial...

Starting it logs:

My initial impression is that it is a graphics issue ad xfce does work.

[AlexandruDobrinescu]

The issue was resolved for me by doing an install clean install of xfce and a second container for unity. I'm not sure how exactly that resolved it but as hdd space is not an issue for me I'm happy to report that as a possible fix.

[DennisLfromGA]

You may want to try using the 'xiwi' method if 'xorg' is giving you issues.

Hope this helps, -DennisLfromGA

@AlexandruDobrinescu isn't Sandy Bridge intel? why does your chroot architecture report amd64?

@DennisLfromGA can confirm xiwi sometimes works when xorg does not: #4558
