Yep works https://laidout.org/ - not resolving with www…
Same problem: I type
sudo snap install laidout
and I get
error: cannot install “laidout”: snap not found
whats the full output of snap version … also try a more simple snap like htop …
I just tried “hello-world”, and got the same original error:
full output of snap version:
aha, that looks similar to
do you have the ability to run a debian 10 instead of debian 9 inside your VM ?
do you have the ability to run a debian 10 instead of debian 9 inside your VM ?
I have no idea… Debian 10 is Buster? and 9 is Stretch? I understood that Chrome OS 80, which I just got upgraded to, included that upgrade along with it.
as far as I can tell, I could upgrade to debian 10 but maybe only in dev channel, not even beta – it seems they pushed it back to Chrome OS 81.
It wouldn’t automatically update container contents.
This looks simple enough if you are brave enough !.. nothing relative to Chrome OS … just a standard set of Debian upgrade scripts…Download it.

From within Debian, open a terminal and type: cd /home/felicity/Downloads [enter] (or if not Downloads, then correct folder)
dir [enter] - this will list the contents of the directory - make sure it is there.
Then type: chmod +x upgrade_container.sh [enter]
Then type ./upgrade_container.sh [enter]
Grab a coffee and cake and wait for the upgrade to complete.
I’m thinking the first thing I’m going to do is disable Linux(beta) in my Chromebook settings, then re-enable it, to see if it’s the new version. It might take all day, I seem to remember grabbing a coffee and … well, not cake, it is Lent … and waiting a few hours, when I first enabled Linux.
That link you posted is from before Chrome OS v80 was released … I’ll come back to it if removing and re-starting Linux doesn’t work. They SAID Buster would be default in 80, now I’m not so sure.
That link shows a standard Debian distro upgrade routine that has been in place for multiple Debian upgrades starting from the first version. The reference to the Chrome version has been placed by the author for convenience, it is not in anyway authoritative with respect to how a Debian distro is upgraded. Never the less, it is important to err on the side of caution.
OK, good, thanks. I don’t remember though if I re-installed the Linux VM after the upgrade to Chrome OS 80, which was supposed to have Buster by default. It may have gotten pushed back to v81, but it’s hard to tell – plus there are “Chrome OS” for Android, probably Windows and Apple, as well as Chromebook, and they all have their own releases. I think. This is still all quite mysterious to me.
So if the new installation doesn’t show up with Buster, I’ll follow your link. Thanks again.
The Chromebook Chrome OS 80 version nor the VM shouldn’t have to be touched in this case.
It is the version of Debian running within the VM that should be upgraded to Buster.
Anyway it’s 1am so will check in again in about 8 hours. Have fun !
I see … well, not really, but I trust that YOU see. Meanwhile I have no VM for the moment. The installation dialogue says “this may take a few minutes”, but just like last time, it’s more like a few hours.
It worked, though. I have Debian 10 now.
Uh oh…
see
Right, you showed me that before. I’ll report back.
sigh I’ve got to get out in the garden for a while. I have leeks and lettuce to plant… I’m trying snap hello-world again, I’ll let you know if it installs.
