I will write a bit about my experience installing Ubuntu using Crouton, which is a script to generate Ubuntu/Debian chroot inside ChromeOS. Installing Ubuntu (without a Desktop Environment) the touch-pad action isn't great and why is it that only Apple can design a light-weight laptop that can be opened with one hand?! But at this low price, I am actually quite impressed. The physical experience of using the Acer Chromebook is a far cry from that of using a MacBook Air. pushed these changes live using Git inside Ubuntu.used Zed Code Editor for editing some of these HTML and JS files inside ChromeOS.installed Heroku CLI inside Ubuntu to create a Git clone of my website.used Pixlr Web to do a fair amount of image editing.used the browser heavily for GMail, GDocs, Slack, and Evernote.It has completely changed the way I look at installing Linux in chroots on Chromebooks. With the auto-start method, I no longer feel like Crouton is just a neat tool I never use. Having a regular chroot on my Chromebook is pretty cool, but I ultimately decided not to use it as it’s a pain to have to open a shell and enter two or three commands just to boot into it. Enjoy! ConclusionĪs an owner of a Chrome device, I have to say that being able to auto-start Crouton is insanely useful. When all the edits are complete, save the file and reboot. Note: if your Crouton install is running in a window, don’t remove the number sign from Xorg. Lastly, remove the number sign from “XMETHOD=xorg” and place a number sign in front of “XMETHOD=xiwi.” This will make sure that your session is run with Xorg. Remove the number sign from the DE you’ll be using in Crouton. It’ll tell you everything you need to know.Īfter setting the default Chroot in crouton.init, you’ll need to specify the DE you want it to load by default. Set the default Chroot that the auto-start should use. If you don’t know the name of your Chroot, run cd /usr/local/chroots&ls in a shell. After that, open crouton.init in the text editor. First, install this Chrome extension to edit the file. ConfigurationĬonfiguring the auto-start isn’t very difficult. It needs to stay in your downloads folder. Curl -Lk -connect-timeout 60 -m 300 -retry 2 "" | tar -xzO > ~ /Downloads /crouton.initĭon’t worry about moving the crouton.init file.
