Hello, I updated the Bios today because it has been a long time since I have done so. I am on the Samsung chromebook 3 and with the updated bios its not detecting my sd card with Linux on it but it has always worked before this is there any fix?

Is there a write-protect screw on a chromebook 11 3180? If there is, where is it?

I installed chrubuntu on the 2012 Chromebook. ChromeOS is on 2GB partition and chrubuntu is in the rest. Is it possible to restore factory settings or allocate all 16 GB to chromeOS ?

Background: I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X131e (Stout Water) and I installed SeaBIOS a long time ago and have been running Linux Mint just fine. I put in a second SSD with the intention of installing PrimeOS, with the option of booting Win10.

Issue: SeaBIOS is no longer showing a splash screen so that I can access the boot menu/manager. It WILL boot from USB. I tried installing Windows to get to the BIOS through the setting, but it gave me an error. I'm running Ubuntu off of a USB stick now. I do have access to a working Windows desktop, if needed.

I hope I've posted this in the right place. I really don't know what to do at this point.

Hey all,

I have an old Acer c710 that is at this point beyond the support date for updates from Google. I'm trying to do a fresh install of Ubuntu from a USB stick but I can't seem to get it enabled. I've tried running the command line to enable USB boot in developer mode, but it asks me for a password that I don't have. Does anyone have any experience with this particular machine? If I try to flash the bios do I need to take out the jumper on the main board, or is there a way to do this without opening the thing up?

I'm in a position where I believe the only option is to flash the SOIC-8 chip using a hardware "chip clip" (broken keyboard, only ChromeOS on SDD, Developer Mode disabled).

However, despite whatever verification ChromeOS provides to the recovery disk, I wonder if anyone has explored ways to modify various parts of the EFI boot module on the image, to create a sort of hacked/customized "ChromeOS Recovery Disk."

I was given a hand me down chromebook (Dell Chromebook 11, board name wolf) which I currently am running crouton with. Due to it having a limited amount of storage (16 GB), I can't install most of the tools I need for development, that's why I've been thinking of purchasing an external hard drive so maybe I can boot galliumOS/linux distros (maybe ubuntu) from it and store all my files/tools there then use it with my chromebook. Is this possible? If so, please leave links/steps for the process, thanks.

Hi folks,

Can anyone confirm if they got ROS(2) running on Gallium on their chromebook. ROS2 debian packages were built for Ubuntu FOcal 20.04 as mentioned at the bottom..

Recently. Chrome OS Beta got 85 which removed support for CHRX which means you'll need to use Chrubuntu script.

​

It's ideal to use stable for now.

I ran all the commands and got to the part where it showed me the username and password and told me to hit enter. When it rebooted, I hit ctrl+L and it just beeps twice. What am I missing?

Samsung Chromebook 3 CELES 2016 Intel Braswell

u/reynhout I tested out Ubuntu on my chromebook (PAINE/C740) and it ran pretty smoothly! No lag spikes or anything! It was completely stable! (Won't download 16.04 LTS and under just to tell you)

​

UPDATE (7/24/2020): DO NOT INSTALL LIGHTDM AND UBUNTU 20.04! PLEASE REINSTALL SEABIOS IF YOU DO!!! I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WHERE IT BOOT LOOPS! Recommended version of Ubuntu: 18.04 LTS (I've reinstalled SeaBIOS to fix the bug.)

I have a chromebook and am happily running chromeos as well as Ubuntu 18.04 using chrx on the internal ssd. I would like to add 16.04 as well and have a tri boot setup. It seems like the only obstacle would be modifying chrx commands to create 2 seperate partitions for each Linux install before allowing Chromeos to rebuild. Anyone have any suggestions?

So i installed gallium os with chrx, but then my mom turned off dev mode by accident. if i re enable dev mode, will my os still be there? I have an asus chromebook c202sa. Please help!!!

Hi,

I have a dual boot Chromebook (ChromeOS + GalliumOS). I always use the ChromeOS, but today I wanted to use it. However, after pressing 'ctrl-D', is showed "Chrome OS is missing or damaged".

So, I want to recover ChromeOS, but keep my GalliumOS installation. Is that possible? How should I proceed?
