If you see (termina) chronos@localhost ~ $, it means that Termina has started successfully.
Set Up the Arch Container - This installs archlinux into LXC container
Run the command below to install the ArchLinux container:
lxc list
lxc launch images:archlinux/current archlinux
lxc exec archlinux -- bash
#set a root password
passwd
#Install basic requirements
yes y | pacman -Syu base-devel git gtk3 openssh xdg-utils xkeyboard-config base-devel git curl make neovim wl-clipboard fish base-devel pacman-contrib wayland xorg-xwayland devtools dhclient neofetch sudo
Just rename the default user (alarm)
grep 1000:1000 /etc/passwd
groupmod -n archlinux alarm
usermod -d /home/archlinux -l archlinux -m -c archlinux alarm
passwd archlinux #Set user passwd
visudo
# ^ Uncomment the line that says:
# %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD ALL
#(Press ESC and type :wq enter to save and exit)
usermod -aG wheel archlinux
exit
#lxc exec container su - your_username
lxc exec archlinux su - archlinux
Install YAY and Crostini Interface
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay
yes y | makepkg -si
yay -S cros-container-guest-tools-git
exit
Now shutdown Linux on crostini - start penguin (let it establish) then start your Archlinux 3 times.
Optional Stuff:
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
# ^ Optional: Update pacman config. I prefer to:
# - uncomment #Color
# - uncomment #VerbosePkgLists
# - uncomment #ParallelDownloads = 5
sudo nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
# ^ Optional: Use a closer mirror. Eg, change
# mirror.archlinuxarm.org => au.mirror.archlinuxarm.org
#
# A full list of mirrors are in this page:
# https://archlinuxarm.org/about/mirrors
🖱️No Network Fix:🖱️
#Check the network by running (it can't be empty) with:
ip -4 a show dev eth0
#if no connection then:
sudo dhcpcd eth0
sudo pacman -S dhclient
sudo systemctl disable systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved
sudo unlink /etc/resolv.conf
sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf
sudo systemctl enable dhclient@eth0
sudo systemctl start dhclient@eth0
#2nd method
ip -4 a show dev eth0 #if empty type:
dhcpcd eth0
ping 8.8.8.8
pacman -Syu dhclient
systemctl enable --now dhclient@eth0

lxc list
lxc stop 'your_container'
lxc rename penguin 'something_else' #to switch by the actual one
lxc rename ubuntu penguin #that is if you only want 1 crostini penguin container instead of the debian.
#lxc stop ubuntu that is if u only created an named ubuntu lxc container and crostini
exit

🖱️Quick Start of the Penguin (SEEEE THIS):🖱️
Go to your Crostini Terminal open Ubuntu it wil likely fail the first time so force its opening a few times and remember to check if it has connection once open. (What it does… it tries to establish the sommelier connections to the lxc container and it kinda… fails easily).
Also: Starting the Debian penguin first kinda fixes the connections so then you can open this new changed linux
