Hi all,
I'm trying to install kali on a chromebook (Lenovo Yoga C630 see bottom for specs) and actually got it to install earlier on Oct 7 but on Oct 8 it started failing and now am unable to install.
Command I'm doing:
chronos@localhost / $ sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r kali-rolling -t kde -n kali
the failure I'm getting:
Package xbindkeys is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'xbindkeys' has no installation candidate
Failed to complete chroot setup.
Unmounting /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/kali...
I've tried with -t xfce as well and get same failure.
I know it worked with both kde and xfce on around Oct 7.
More information about my system:
It's a chromebook and to install any linux system on a chromebook, you have to use a tool called crouton. See here for more information about crouton: https://github.com/dnschneid/croutonOS is Google Chrome OS
CPU is 8th Gen Intel? Core? i5-8250U mobile processor8GB of RAM
128GB eMMC flash memory
I'm able to install other linux distributions like xenial with unity desktop fine using command like ($ sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r xenial -t unity)
Others are reporting this same problem here: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/4151
Thanks for any help you can give. I'm pretty sure a problem (at least for chromebooks) was introduced lately in to kali-rolling distribution.
