Start by entering the Chrome shell (crosh) by pressing CTRL+ALT+T, then enter the default termina VM:
vmc start terminaRename the default penguin container:
lxc stop penguin --force
lxc rename penguin debianCreate a new Ubuntu container named penguin:
lxc launch ubuntu:22.04 penguinEnter the new container (as root):
lxc exec penguin -- bashBring Ubuntu up to date:
apt update
apt upgradeNow add the Crostini package repository to apt. This repository provides the Linux integration with Chrome OS:
echo "deb https://storage.googleapis.com/cros-packages bullseye main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cros.list
if [ -f /dev/.cros_milestone ]; then sudo sed -i "s?packages?packages/$(cat /dev/.cros_milestone)?" /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cros.list; fi

apt update
A work-around is needed for a cros-ui-config package installation conflict. First, install binutils to get the ar command:
apt install binutilsThen create the cros-ui-config work-around package:
apt download cros-ui-config
ar x cros-ui-config_0.13_all.deb data.tar.gz
gunzip data.tar.gz
tar f data.tar --delete ./etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
gzip data.tar
ar r cros-ui-config_0.13_all.deb data.tar.gz
rm -rf data.tar.gz
Now install the Crostini packages and the ”work-around” package, ignoring any warning messages. This will take awhile:
apt install cros-guest-tools ./cros-ui-config_0.13_all.debDelete the ”work-around” package:
rm cros-ui-config_0.13_all.debLast step =) Add user
killall -u ubuntu
