** awesome works fine in crouton (added a bash script for this: get-crouton-awesome.sh):**

  • Install X11: sudo sh -e ./crouton -t x11

  • Enter the chroot: sudo enter-chroot -n chrootname (name is perhaps precise)

  • Install awesome: sudo apt-get install awesome

  • Add exec awesome to ~/.xinitrc: echo "exec awesome" > ~/.xinitrc

  • Create configuration directory mkdir ~/.config/awesome

  • Copy default configuration from /etc/xdg/awesome: cp /etc/xdg/awesome/* ~/.config/awesome/

  • start as su sudo su <username>

  • Start X11 to try it out: xinit

  • Launch awesome directly from the crosh shell: sudo enter-chroot xinit

  • On Chromebooks, the search key (right below tab) is actually the 'Mod4' key. awesome works with it right out of the box!
