Installation (ChromeOS)

Prerequisites

Enabled developer mode

Installing dependencies

We'll install needed dependencies with chromebrew, head over to chromebrew installation guide and do :

crew install sommelier wget 
crew install llvm # OPTIONAL: needed for AMD GPUs
source ~/.bashrc

Installing Archbox

Just follow INSTALL.md but with :

Now that /usr/local is owned by you, it's better to set INSTALL_PATH to somewhere in /usr/local in archbox.conf, for example /usr/local/archbox
Remove /home from SHARED_FOLDER in archbox.conf

Then add :

[[ $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS = "disabled:" ]] && eval "$(dbus-launch)"

to ~/.bashrc in Archbox

Miscs

Init Archbox Automatically

Add archbox -m to ~/.bashrc in host.

Uniform look with ChromeOS

Install cros-adapta-gtk-theme, ttf-roboto, and papirus-icon-theme and use it with :

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "cros-adapta"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme "Papirus-Light"
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name "Roboto 10"

For GTK2 apps, use lxappearance and for QT5 apps, use qt5ct

Issues

DBus

Things that depends on dbus may broke if you execute it directly, e.g. :

archbox dconf-editor

You'll need to enter the shell to use it.

Audio

Audio doesn't seem to work at the moment, It's possible to start pulseaudio in chroot, but I didn't dive enough yet.
