archlinux in crostini is missing /dev/dri

I've followed the instructions on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chrome … s/Crostini on my HP Premium Chromebook 14b-na0255ng.

For wayland support the instructions say to start a systemd sommelier service.

This service fails because the /dev/dri directory is missing.  (To be more specific the service checks if the file: /dev/dri/renderD128 exists.

The provided debian penguin image does have the /dev/dri folder.

What can I do to enable the graphics card?

Re: archlinux in crostini is missing /dev/dri

The images downloaded from https://us.lxd.images.canonical.com/ appear to be provided by lxc , not by archlinux community.
Also the reddit guide which the instructions on the crostini page are based on is 2 years old, which for archlinux is an eternity.

That means we have no idea how they are created and can't support them.

Maybe https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_Containers is useful for you, esepcially the part about priviliged / unpriviliged containers.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
