I've also installed the extension from the app store. After running sudo enter-chroot and then trying to open a program xiwi gimp, I get a fatal server error: (EE) Fatal server error: (EE) Cannot move old log file "/tmp/Xorg.crouton.1.log" to "/tmp/Xorg.crouton.1.log.old" (EE) (EE) Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. (EE) /usr/bin/xinit: giving up /usr/bin/xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused /usr/bin/xinit: server error divx118 commented Jan 10, 2016 @henrywright You probably did start with root once. Remember outside the chroot in a crosh shell we need to use sudo startxiwi, however inside a chroot you mustn't use sudo just startxiwi. To solve this issue, in a crosh shell use sudo rm /tmp/Xorg.crouton.1.log then try again, or you can just restart your chromebook that will also clear the /tmp folder. henrywright commented Jan 10, 2016 Thanks @divx118, restarting did the trick. For the record, I do seem to remember using sudo startxiwi inside the chroot so won't do that again :) henrywright closed this Jan 10, 2016 Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub.

Registered: 2012-01-22 Posts: 11 [SOLVED] Sudo and seteuid issues A couple of days ago, something strange happened to my user account. I couldnt log into my window manager (enlightenment) as a non-root user. Also, each time I would try to issue a command using sudo, it would return some error about seteuid (I can't rememer exactly what it said). So I fiddled around with the sudoers file to make sure I had sudo access (which I now do), but I still can't issue the startx command as a non-root user or without sudo. I suspect it has something to do with the seteuid error, but I https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/2358 don't know what to do about it. If I run startx, it returns: Fatal server error: Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" xinit: givingup xinit: unable to connect to X server: Address family not supported by protocol xinit: server errorI tried changing the permissions on these files, which didn't work. Hours of google searching hasn't helped much, but here is a link to a page that https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134148 describes a problem as similar to mine as I could find: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=195.0It mentions this: BTW, the "Can't open /var/log/Xorg.o.log" is possibly because "set uid" became unset in the tcz conversion - does "ls -l /usr/local/bin/Xorg" show an "s" in there somewhere?"but I don't even have that file to try to use their solution./home/user/.xinitrc contains only 1 line: exec enlightenment_startPlease help me figure what to do about the seteuid or setuid, so I can run startx as a non-root user, again. Thanks!
