If you're running any other channel (beta/dev/whatever) You can absolutely create as many as you have resources for, however I find they break all the f'in time. IN MY EXPERIENCE in Stable ChromeOS channel, I can't have more than 1 container reliably work.If you start terminal before you've finalize your arch container and renamed it penguin, it will dork everything up. All this should be done BEFORE YOU EVER START UP TERMINAL AGAIN.Final step is to be in termina, stop the lxc arch container.Do pretty much everything else in the gist.You can name your image container whatever you like, after you're done, you'll rename it to penguin.

vsh termina and then do your arch download from This has is different from the gist above, it's updated.

This may seem redundant, but this works best on stable chromeOS I've found.

Go into crosh, vmc delete termina and vmc start termina.

Close the linux terminal environment completely.

This is common at first, or if you didn't do the sommelier part as the user.

Any ideas on how to resolve/troubleshoot this issue? This is on a lenovo duet 5Įdit: eventually broke with error Starting the Linux container Error starting penguin container: 58 Launching vmshell failed: Error starting crostini for terminal: 58 I'm able to log into arch through crosh, but for some reason when I try to open in terminal it hangs on 'Starting the Linux container'. To do this, we'll rename the LXC image to penguin. The default image is Debian ( penguin), but we can move that away and make Arch the default.
