Hello all,

I just finished installing the chroot but would like to replace it with the " touch support " version,  as i am using a Chromebook PIxel.

Is there a way to delete the chroot i installed or perhaps update the installed chroot to include touch support ?

Thanks in advance.

Can you help me understand how to use this command?  I'm guessing the 'evilchroot' is a placeholder for one of a different name?  How do you find out the name of your own?  Can't seem to make this command work.

To print info (including name) of your chroot:
sudo edit-chroot -l -a 

To delete:
sudo edit-chroot -d <name>
or
sudo delete-chroot <name>

I'm getting a message : Not unmounting /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/xenial as another instance is using it.

but nothing is using it as far as I know - the linux is not open. What can I do?
