It turns out that I did not include both of the TDE entries in the sources.list (only the first).  This missing library was included in the 2nd entry list.  My error, and sorry for the bother here.

I now have the FULL TDE package installed and running as expected on the linux VM within my chromebook.  It works fine, but a little different than running a full desktop.  Basically, the chromebook linux environment runs as a set of linux apps.  I can get the TDE desktop, but it is a subset of the full chromeos desktop.  It is best to just run an individual linux all (for example konsole-trinity or take your pick). 

It is amazing that these chromebooks can do all this very well: chromeos, android apps, linux apps (and desktops).  Some people are running windows apps directly under the wine emulator of the linux vm.  But, if you need Microsoft office for example, why not just run the chromeos app and get a cloud account for Office ? 

I highly recommend that the TDE project offer a chromeos-tailored desktop environment for the chromebooks, most growth in computer market in the world right now.  It is a relatively small deviation from the built-in Debian platform.  A very good chromebook sells about $400-$500. Low-high end $200-$1000+.  the linux vm on the chromebook is very easy to manage and comes complete with a built-in backup/restore.  I anticipate my next computer purchase will be a chromebox.

I was able to pull this package from way back in the jessie version of Debian.  I am using Debian/Buster, but actually a special version of that issued by Google for their default chromebook linux VM.

I have several packages of TDE working fine now under this distribution.  I will probably try the full TDE package tomorrow and report back.

Really nice.

Hello TDE users !

I am testing installing TDE, or separate TDE packages such as
konqueror-trinity, on my chromebook/crostini/linux vm.

Upon the initial install (apt-get install kdesktop-trinity), it is short
a package called libjasper1.  I check on my reference linux desktop with
TDE installed and running fine.  Sure enough, it has a package called
libjasper1 installed.  However, if I try to reinstall it just to get the
package file to use on the chromebook, it is no longer available.

So, either libjasper1 is used in TDE and it is not available anymore
under debian/buster, or the package needed by TDE needs to be obtained
from some other place.

Where do we get libjasper1 now?

Is this a TDE bug ?

What distribution, what version are you installing? The libjasper1 library 
may have already been removed from distributions, so we provide a package 
in our repository.

See: 
https://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.x/pool/main/j/jasper/

If you are using a Debian-based distribution, make sure you have the apt 
repository set up correctly.

Cheers
