Hi FydeOS team and community,

I’m having trouble enabling the Linux environment on FydeOS. When I try to launch the Linux terminal, I get the following error:

Launching vmshell failed: Error starting crostini for terminal: 52 (INSTALL_IMAGE_LOADER_TIMED_OUT)

Previously, Linux was stuck at “Checking the virtual machine”, but now it gets past that and shows this error instead.

Is there a way to resolve this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
