I would really like to run kali on my chromebook, please help I have checked everywhere, a video said I had to uninstall xserver-xorg-legacy, but it isnt even installed.
Remove existing chroots with
sudo delete-chroot -a
and try again with these instructions.
You have to install using the silence branch:
sudo CROUTON_BRANCH=silence crouton -r xenial -t xfce
The silence branch prevents the attempt to install cras, which cannot be installed without the 3rd-party tool "autotools", which has been removed.
