Crostini Ubuntu Penguin 
For safety first keep the original debian penguin unchanged and just enable the #crostini-multi-container flag and add one more!
🖱️Add a Linux to your penguin sommelier first:🖱️
Crostini Vibes Enable and Become an LXC Expert:
Turn on the flag for multiple containers.
Go to Developers and add another container with a random name it will automatically create it with your ip.
- Create an container via crostini in settings name it whatever you like.
🖱️Grant connection to your Linux container:🖱️
Start the terminal and grant you have access to the internet by doing sudo ping google.com if no return - then: Shut Down Crostini and start it again.
Repeat the process if needed.
Open Crosh and lets make the LXC Ubuntu Container:
- Start Vsh Termina
- Press
Ctrl+Alt+Tto open the crosh terminal. - Type
vsh termina. - If you see
(termina) chronos@localhost ~ $, it means that Termina has started successfully.
vsh termina # vmc stop termina / vmc launch termina
lxc list
# Clone your ubuntu container
lxc launch ubuntu:jammy ubuntu -c security.privileged=true
lxc exec ubuntu -- bash
# lxc stop / lxc delete / lxc start / lxc console
passwd #set a root password
🖱️User Optional:🖱️
sudo su root
sudo passwd root #set user root password
sudo adduser #newuser
sudo usermod -aG sudo #newuser
#sudo apt install nano
sudo visudo
#newuser ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
su #newuser
sudo sed -i 's/^# \(%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL\)/\1/; s/^# \(%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL\)/\1/' /etc/sudoers

#All done here! Lets start Crostini now.
🖱️Repo's bandage solution:🖱️
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cros.list to clear anything not google/fydeos/etc.
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to clear things out.
cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ to see whats going on.
#Crosh - Browser Ctrl Alt T, type: shell
vmc container termina ubuntu --privileged true
🖱️Quick Start of the Penguin (Understand THIS):🖱️
Go to your Crostini Terminal open Ubuntu it wil likely fail the first time so force its opening a few times and remember to check if it has connection once open. (What it does… it tries to establish the sommelier connections to the lxc container and it kinda… fails easily).
Also: Starting the Debian penguin first kinda fixes the connections so then you can open this new changed linux
The third time is a win.
🖱️Network Fix (Most likely needed):🖱️
systemctl --user restart cros-garcon.service
systemctl --user restart sommelier{,-x}@{0,1}.service
#sudo apt install dhcpcd -y # or dhcpcd5
#Check the network by running (it can't be empty) with:
ip -4 a show dev eth0
#if no connection then:
sudo dhcpcd eth0
sudo dhclient
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved
sudo unlink /etc/resolv.conf
sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf
sudo systemctl restart networking
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo ping 8.8.8.8
sudo sysctl -p
systemctl --user daemon-reload
🖱️Renaming containers (only optional)🖱️
#This is only needed if you want to replace the terminal other then add more.
#you gotta use your brain here a bit..
lxc list
lxc stop 'your_containers'
lxc rename penguin 'something_else' #to switch by the actual one
lxc rename ubuntu penguin #that is if you only want 1 crostini penguin container instead of the debian.
lxc restart penguin
#lxc stop ubuntu that is if u only created an named ubuntu lxc container and crostini
exit
exit
