everyone who uses VT-2 is dumb

[oddbyte]

here is how to use sudo in crosh. Follow any tutorial you like

[oddbyte]

main benefit for me is that you can copy paste sudo commands into there, and open sudo-required GUI apps

Getting this error:
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused

Do you have read/write protection disabled? If so that is probably my issue, still waiting on a breakout board to get delivered.

It also appears that you need to assign both root & chronos passwords. 🤔

i have edited the repo with new instructions @DennisLfromGA @grumpyman12601
new instructions do not require any firmware mods or Write Prot disabled. you only need access to the VT2 terminal and a wifi connection (to install ChromeBrew and netcat)
edit: this new method does not require any passwords or opening your ssh port, so either way this method is safer

@OddbyteWasTaken,

ssh'ing into it from the penguin container is easier for me, no chromebrew required.

You can even set up passwordless ssh too by adding the penguin id_rsa.pub file to the chronos authorized_keys file.

while true, installing chromebrew is useful anyways, and i dont like crosstini :P
also, for some reason sshd broke for my chromebook, and i dont feel like powerwashing

Edit: that said will try to ssh from crosstini, and if it succedes will update repo

@OddbyteWasTaken,

It's nice to have options.

sshd broke on mine too but I can launch it manually using the opensshd instructions when needed.

The tutorial has been updated with the crosstini methods

Your title is disingenuous and insulting. Since "everyone" who uses VT-2 is dumb, this includes you. Also, this does not allow you to use crosh: it opens up a new virtual terminal, which is xfce4-terminal.

Still, it's a clever approach, and shows that there is not just one way to solve a problem.

like grah keep it a stack

Yes, i agree that i am insulting. however, it is a joke, so chill.

Lolol will do

As long as you're using Chromebrew, try this:

crew install crew_sudo

Whenever you bootup, just go to VT-2 and login as chronos: the crew_sudo daemon will autorun, and then in the crosh shell, you can use sudo normally. Works like a charm!

Last month, I had a problem with Chromebrew crashing during the install. It may have had something to do with the previous ChromeOS update. I'm currently on 123.0.6312.132 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Do any of these methods allow you to launch crouton? If so would it be possible to autostart any of these and then launch crouton. I was previously able to just tun on my computer and have it open in the xfce4. Now it's a major pita.

[CroutonIsFun]

No, although a few things can be automated.

Method 5 is super easy

well it is also the one with the highest risk of bricking your device
