Calamity, are you using these?
 --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome --bwsi --incognito --login-user=‘$guest’ --login-profile=user

It's a little disturbing that those instructions are labeled "old". They seem mostly right, but still refer to GYP_CHROMIUM_NO_ACTION. Steven, we don't need that anymore, right?

Hmm, it looks like these were updated during the GN migration then after everything was done instead of being updated again and re-verifed, they were renamed "old" :(

We should update these instructions (e.g. remove GYP_CHROMIUM_NO_ACTION), verify them, and name them back.

+jdufault@ and muyuanli@ who are this week's gardeners.

I did not see the problem though. Input works and shelf is there.

Hrm, this works for me as well. Sorry I didn't test before - I was on the bus.

out/Default/chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome --bwsi --incognito --login-user='$guest' --login-profile=user

Logs me in just fine.

Are you maybe using remote desktop?  Issue 799943  describes a remote desktop problem.

Nope, seems to just be me! Here's a video of it not working. Normal linux chromeos works fine.

Yeah, it'd be good to change the docs. One of our new team members got very confused and ended up trying to build proper ChromeOS w/ gentoo partitions and stuff =S

Fix formatting in old_chromeos_build_instructions.

While these are called "old", they are actually the most up-to-date
instructions we can find for building linux_chromeos, so let's keep them
up to date. This fixes the incorrect quotes resulting in unpasteable
command line.

Re #7: I noticed you have a couple of NOTREACHED() log from gaia_auth_util.cc. Are you running a release build (or no DCHECK) build? That error usually means --login-user does not pass in "$guest" correctly. And we might be seeing a guest session with LOGIN_PRIMARY session state, which explains no shelf and no inputs.

Did you happen to use back-quote (`) instead of single-quote (') around $guest ?

Ah yeah, that was it. Oops!

It must have been copied from the page before mgiuca@ updated it so that the quotes would copy correctly.

Thanks!
