Hi @cartpauj

Does this workaround allow you to proceed?

@Nick-B thanks, it doesn’t appear libxcrypt-compat is available on Debian 11, which is what the Chromebooks use now.

Thanks @cartpauj - I’m not familiar with Chromebook myself but just searching chromebook crostini user did not grant permission or chromebook crostini permission error returned a lot of threads below which might help here too. If you’re still having trouble I can relay this to the Devs for a deeper look.

Thanks, not seeing much there that helps. The Chromebook isn’t my daily driver, just something I was playing around with for work/travel use. I’m guessing Local just hasn’t been tested against Crostini yet. I’m going to call it for now, but I’ll keep an eye on the forums to see if there’s any progress in the future.

Thank you @cartpauj! I’ll check with the team on this and report back as well for you or any others who may come for answers in the future.
