crouton: Fatal error, cannot enter croot

No output from: sudo edit-chroot -all 
or:
sudo cat /ect/lsb-release
 
I'm completely new to linux but I installed crouton on my lenovo 100S chromebook w/ intel to get some programming homework done over break. I had it working for a while but when I was installing Steam, the battery of my laptop died. 
I currently get the following output from sudo startxfce4:

@babswatch,

If you are sure your chroot(s) are still installed then you may need to restore your host-bin scripts. You can do that using: sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -b

EDIT:

GOOGLE_RELEASE=8872.70.0

Your Chrome OS version is slightly out-of-date too so you may want to update it.

Hope this helps, -DennisL
