"Crostini GPU Support" flag not working

[Jonas]

I'm having trouble turning on GPU acceleration in Crostini. Despite enabling the flag "Crostini GPU Support" in chrome://flags, restarting my computer, then running the commands "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", whenever I try to run the command "glxinfo -B" in the Crostini terminal, the system responds that it does not understand the command glxinfo. To my understanding, this means the GPU support is not working. I am using a Pixelbook running on ChromeOS 87, and I am pretty new to using Linux, but I need the GPU support for some 3D modeling software.

Thank you in advance!

You probably need to install mesa-utils which isn't present by default because not everyone needs these since Sommelier handles the Xserver duties for most apps.
