so ran the command
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/arch/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.d

and was able to commence the installation by running sudo startxfce4 and it said do you want to continue the setup

Entering /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/arch...
A chroot setup script still exists inside the chroot.
The chroot may not be fully set up.
Would you like to finish the setup? [Y/n/d]

it then goes all the way to enter the username

Database directory: /var/lib/pacman/
:: Do you want to remove unused repositories? [Y/n] y
removing unused sync repositories...
Please specify a username for the primary user: archrome

and then hangs

this is the furthest i have gotten with this installation of arch lol so close yet so far

so it took ages to enter username but eventually took it after 7 mins

then went to enter and

Setup completed. Entering chroot...

Hey @JimbotheScot, tbh I haven't really gotten GUI stuff working for myself either. But your issues sound like they might not be directly related to that. Do you still get problems if you only target cli-extra?

The problem with it taking ages to login sounds like this problem. Can you confirm that the version of libsystemd installed inside the chroot is 238.133-4? If it's not then you might have an outdated chroagh or something...

[JimbotheScot]

ah right so you cant load a gui wm either? I thought you would just startxfce4 and it would be like the crouton ubuntu install but arch lol but this is the furthest i have got with the various arch chroot crouton forks so well done for that my friend :D

sudo isnt really that slow in practice having installed packages etc from the arch terminal and am definetley on 238.133-4 as installed a later version and had to roll it back but have now done a fresh install

someone else had the same problem i had with an android app meefik/linuxdeploy#971

Lol yeah the whole project has been a bit of a hot-potato, it's so broken no one wants it. I got it working to the extent I need to work (cli only), but haven't ventured much farther. Always open to PRs though! :P

Interesting, if you try that fix does it work? Also I should have mentioned before but the Unknown username ... errors are probably not related, I get those too and it doesn't seem to hurt anything.
