Create shortcuts for your chroots - dnschneid/crouton GitHub Wiki

Keep track of your various chroots and ways of launching them by creating alises in ChromeOS's .bashrc file. You will need to learn a bit about using vi, but you can get by with i, a, esc, and :wq. You can access yours with the following command:

vi ~/.bashrc

Here is what mine looks like:

# /etc/skel/.bashrc  
#  
# This file is sourced by all *interactive* bash shells on startup,  
# including some apparently interactive shells such as scp and rcp  
# that can't tolerate any output.  So make sure this doesn't display  
# anything or bad things will happen !

# Test for an interactive shell.  There is no need to set anything  
# past this point for scp and rcp, and it's important to refrain from  
# outputting anything in those cases.  

if [ $- != *i* ](/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/-$--!=-*i*-) ; then  
        # Shell is non-interactive.  Be done now!  
    return  
fi  

# Put your fun stuff here.  

alias trusty-lxde-xorg="sudo startlxde -b -n trusty -X xorg"  
alias trusty-lxde-xiwi="sudo startlxde -b -n trusty -X xiwi-tab"

This is really cool, because sudo is included in the command. So can launch:

trusty-lxde-xorg

trusty-lxde-xiwi
