Debootstrap; Permission Denied

[avaiv]

chronos@localhost / $ sudo crouton -t xfce

Every time I type the command I get this:

Have the same issue. Appears Crouton is out of date

[BobUnderwoodSF]

Try

sudo crouton -r focal -t xfce

chronos@localhost / $ sudo crouton -t xfce

Have you tried my instructions? Then, i still can't reproduce the error.

I have but its still the same error

[iptoux]

Can be fixed via powerwash of Chromebook. See -> https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/4805

Please close issue @avaiv

[avaiv]

its still getting the same error even after i tried powerwashing and after i tried all of your suggestions. maybe try looking into how to getting by the permission denied bit?

[iptoux]

The problem is, that i can't reproduce the error, also there is no logic behind this error, because of following things:

• You run script as sudo
• on line 95 in installer/crouton is nothing (empty line)
• on line 95 in direct crouton binary is nothing, only an check of verbose options.

If you are not using and self editited or some other modificated version of crouton, than its hard to say where the problem is here. The permission error comes from your system and not crouton, so the problem is not on crouton side here. @avaiv Can you please give us the output of sudo ls -la /tmp/ (in second tab, also after typing shell) shortly after starting install.

Okay, i have done some forensics... and found where the error comes. Need future inspecting to understand the code lines and see if i could found the issue.

Line 95 from installer/ubuntu/bootstrap

# Grab the release and drop it into the subdirectory
    echo 'Downloading bootstrap files...' 1>&2
    if ! PATH="$newpath" DEBOOTSTRAP_DIR="$tmp" $FAKEROOT \
            "$tmp/debootstrap" --foreign --extractor='ar' --arch="$ARCH" \
            "$RELEASE" "$tmp/$subdir" "$MIRROR" 1>&2; then
        echo "debootstrap error log:" 1>&2
        tail -n 3 "$tmp/$subdir/debootstrap/debootstrap.log" 1>&2 || true
        error 1 'Failed to run debootstrap.'
    fi

Maybe @TomTravis or @DennisLfromGA can help here.

A month later and after trying all suggestions posted here, I still cannot get crouton to work. Still getting the Failed to run debootstrap error.

Downloading bootstrap files... /tmp/crouton-installer-cache/crouton: 95: /tmp/crouton-installer-cache/crouton.cyv/installer/ubuntu/bootstrap: /tmp/crouton.K2R/debootstrap: Permission denied debootstrap error log: tail: cannot open '/tmp/crouton.K2R/xenial-amd64/debootstrap/debootstrap.log' for reading: No such file or directory Failed to run debootstrap.

I am running all commands as sudo. I would really like to get out of having to use Crostini for linux and get back to using Crouton for Linux. Are there anymore suggestions that I can follow or an eta of when this issue will be fixed??

[dinoswong]

I found the issue is caused by ChromeOS upgrade. It may be started from v107. There is some security and permission change. The script on /tmp cannot be executed anymore even remount /tmp to allow executable. But I don't know how to fix it.

[halt-spesn]

anyone found fix?

[iptoux]

anyone found fix?

Do you read last line of @dinoswong reply?

[myelin]

The problem is that tmpfs mounts in ChromeOS are now noexec, so you can't drop a script in /tmp and execute it (which breaks the bootstrap script), and /usr/local/ is mounted nodev, so the installer script needed changes.

My latest code at https://github.com/myelin/crouton is working for me right now; can you give it a try? I spent some time on it today and it can create sid, focal, jammy, and kinetic chroots on my brya machine running a personal 108.0.5355.0 build.

Note that startxfce4 currently fails on sid, jammy, and kinetic, but works on focal, so you probably want to use focal rather than any of the newer distributions.

Unmounting /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/focal... and it doesnt boot it just shuts down

[TomTravis]

yes chromeOS updates have changed permissions and privs for files system /var /tmp /media / sudo mount -o remount,symfollow,exec /var* /tmp* /media* /* all need exec mounts

Shell now asked for password on sudo in shell the UID and PID are not tracked to well in Crouton chroot is it own FS and processes. ChromeOS tracks UID and PID better now My share "MyFiles" Download will no longer mount the icon on Desktop is gone the folder is present today for some reason i now using bullseye and bookworm

I now use a X86 M900 lenovo(not chroot) for FS bookworm and work general the chroots CB has issue but still works x2go work just fine over the next TB is storage and fast processor Mate and KDE desktops

it seems the X86 CB is supported different then arm CB this is reason for the m900 X86_64 intel

I really like the arm64 mediatek it run with less power and it performs very good W: Failure while configuring required packages. W: See //debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package usrmerge is at fault) Failed to complete chroot setup. Unmounting /media/removable/sd200/chroots/bookworm... Bookworm fails to load core chroot today ?

Your code worked! Thank you so much!

[adamant-pwn]

Please re-open this. I still get the error and nothing in the thread seems to fix it...
