crosh in a window?

[Trever]

(Stupid question, but...)

How does one get crosh in a window?   I want a window, not a tab, as happens with ctrl-alt-T, and not VT2, which is outside the window environment.

I thought I was able to do this once upon a time, but I might be mis-remembering- maybe it was just ssh, which is easy to specify a window for.

Is this the only way?:

I'm in dev mode.  Chrome OS.

[Mike Frysinger]

sadly, that functionality isn't currently available out of the box.
it's waiting for someone to fix/implement it :).

Okay, whew, I'm not totally out to pasture yet.  It *seemed* like this isn't there.

Thanks Mike!!!

You could open a new window (ctrl-n), and then a terminal with ctrl-alt-t. Close the original tab and you have a window (of sorts :)

Sorry, could not resist.

Unless I misunderstand what you're saying that's going to give a *window*.

What is wanted is a nice clean window, none of the browser buttons, waste of screen real estate,  and distracting stuff (extensions telling me I have an SMS etc.).

More importantly, something that will not capture various key stroke combinations but instead act like a terminal and take the input.

Sorry, meant NOT going to give a window.  Dang phone...

[Jon Temple]

i didnt know about the crosh terminal in window which is cool and helpful. but can you get to a bash shell from crosh?

[T N]

Yes if your are in dev mode (mode != channel, you can be in whatever channel you want).

It is even possible to run in dev mode and have a fully verified boot with auto updates- the same as a stock device.

For more information please see the page I put up about this some time ago:

https://sites.google.com/site/chromeoswikisite/home/what-s-new-in-dev-and-beta/shell-acess-with-verified-boot

As described there, you are not then magically launched into a typical Linux user land (this is after all Chrome OS), but there you can shell script and what not.  Various things including a minimalist vim.  You are indeed in bash when you get a shell.  Etc.

I personally really want to see a community supported dev environment project take off, assuming web app based environments don't catch up soon to give something satisfactory (seems like they might catch up).  I envision a downloadable USB image you can dd onto a thumb drive that gives you a ready linked dev environment (python, compilers, source code tools like svn & git, etc.). Running a Chrome OS device with the thumb drive plugged in would mean UNIX geeks can have stock Chrome OS with auto updates that Google takes care of, and essentially all the security (verified boot, etc.), and it wouldn't mess with state on the stock Chrome OS device (other than the wipe you went through to get into dev mode), because your user land add-ons are on a thumb drive.

People are now building their own side car like chroot dev environments that can be done rather along these lines, but I think my vision here is slightly different than that, though similar.  I'm not terribly interested in VMs either.  I'd like ust some dev oriented binaries Chrome OS itself can run when you plug them in and you're in verified dev mode.

Again, I would not be surprised to see adequate web based web app type tools become available that would obviate the need for what I envision though.  Things like mini-code edit that were shown off at Goole I/O.  Hterm based ssh is already pretty impressive IMO.  With enough tools, UNIX geeks could buy a Chrome OS device and never go into dev mode and be happy (well, I could be.... maybe not kernel developers, etc.).

More answer than you bargained for.  :-)

Just testing this now, so far, so good:

The machine I am on at the moment is not in dev mode so need to see if the cr-48 has ssh installed. Wait, I ssh to my own servers from my machine all the time. I think I will try it on both.

kk, it does not work on a stock non-dev mode Acer AC700 :)

-- steve

[Steve Pirk]

Same error on my Cr-48 on dev mode. Either I do not have ssh installed (unlikely?), or their server is having issues, or I have fubar'd things somehow.

I remember life back when ctrl-alt-t brought up the same tty screen as ctrl-alt-f2 does. Alt-tabbing between machines was awesome.

You must have the Secure Shell app installed for Crosh Window to work. You can install that here:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell/pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo

[Steve Pirk]

Thanks for the link Andrew! I did not know the Chromium team had written a secure shell web app. This will come in handy indeed.

[Simon Smart]

Is there any way to get a crosh-window produced by this app to go fullscreen? Unfortunately my chromebook doesn't have an F11 key, and the shortcuts to simulate that (semi)-obviously don't work...

[Steve Pirk]

Hi Simon,

I just checked, and next to the X in the upper right corner of this app is a box. Click that and it will go full screen. Click the window shade version and it goes back to it's normal size.

[Simon Smart]

Hi Steve,

Clicking on this box maximises the window, but does not cause it to go full-screen. The chrome-bar(?) at the bottom of the screen, and the windows title bar at the top are still visible - losing at least 4 lines of text!!

I'm currently using the window maximised as described (I had found that one myself ;-)), but am hoping that eventually I will be able to use true full screen (as can be achieved with chrome installed on a normal machine by hitting F11, or by accessing the menu in a normal chrome window).

Many thanks

Simon

Actually, just open your menu in the right top corner, click new window. then go back to your old window, open crosh, then drag the tab for crosh to the new window.

And there u go:)

[Dylan]

yeah how do you get in crosh

I don't know of another way except the options below

Alternative steps:

1) Open a crosh tab

2) Go to options > More Tools > Add to shelf

3) Check "Open as window" 

Hope that helps!

There is one small problem with this approach: You cannot use Ctrl-W to close crosh running in its own window: must click on the close box instead.

[Adam Kearn]

What if you made your own chrome app and then just use a <iframe> to load the crosh page

[Mike Frysinger]

that, by design, is not possible

just use the existing crosh-as-window extension, or click the "[crosh]" link when you open a new instance, or bookmark it with the "openas=window" setting in the query string.

Crosh Window is listed in the Chrome Web Store as an App, not as an extension, but it behaves exactly as expected: opens in a resizable window, and recognizes Ctrl-W to close.

crosh is CrOS only, so trying to install+run it anywhere else never would make sense :)
