screens not found

When I try to start xfce using sudo startxfce4, I get the no screens found error. I have tried taking crouton off my chromebook and re installed it. It worked one time, but when I restarted my chromebook, it gave me the error again. The error started happening after I updated chrome os.

You don't want to use sudo for this, because that would have you running X *as root,* which is a Very Bad Idea. (The error message you're getting is caused by the fact that you're not actually root.) Just use startxfce4 by itself, and all should be well.

what command should I use?

As I wrote above, just use startxfce4 to start X with Xfce.

Actually, I think Crouton on the Chromebook works differently. You should probably post over on the Crouton issues forum. From what I understand, you need to enter a chroot before running "sudo startxfce4", but I'm not 100% sure since I've never used Crouton.

A quick search just found this link which suggests either:

sudo startxfce4

...or

sudo enter-chroot startxfce4

Again, probably better to start a thread in their forums for this specific implementation,
