Schroot: E: default: Chroot not found

[Sabniveesu Shashank]

Ohh.. well, that worked but If I do -


$ cd /var/UbuntuTrusty/
$ schroot -c trusty
I am being shown this           --


W: Failed to change to directory ‘/var/UbuntuTrusty’: No such file or
directory
I: The directory does not exist inside the chroot.  Use the --directory
option to run the command in a different directory.
W: Failed to change to directory ‘/home/shashank’: No such file or directory
I: The directory does not exist inside the chroot.  Use the --directory
option to run the command in a different directory.
W: Falling back to directory ‘/’
$


As you can see , I do get a '$' prompt. Yet I'm worried if I would be doing
something dangerous.

*What I tried (inside 'schroot.conf'):*
                * Removed "directory=/var/UbuntuTrusty/"
altogether                   --            E: Required key missing
                * Rewritten as "directory=var/UbuntuTrusty/"
altogether                --            E: Paths must be absolute
