I am trying to install ubuntu onto a chrombook as the base operating system completely remove chrome and only have ubuntu not a duel os system like crouton offers. is their anyway to do this.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 in Crouton on a Chromebook and I tried to install Flatpak. Everything went right while the installation, but I can't download anything from flathub and everytime I try to do something with flathub, it gives me an error.
Right now I tried to install the Spotify App, and It says
Unable to install "com.spotify.Client from flathub": While trying to apply extra data: apply_extra script failed, exit status 256
I didn't found anything in the internet about that. I used this tutorial to install Flatpak 1.6.2 (if that's useful information).
What can I do?
A colleague has asked for my help installing Ubuntu 19.10 onto her Acer Chromebook 15 (cp315-1h-p8qy).
I haven't found a tutorial for removing ChromeOS from this specific model, but other tutorials (for different models) say you must remove a write-protection screw from the motherboard before ChromeOS can be removed.
I've dismantled this laptop, but it isn't clear to me that any particular screw is dedicated to write protection. Please advise if you have knowledge of this motherboard (pictured below). Where is the write-protection screw?:
Ultimately, I'm trying to do a real Ubuntu installation, like I've done on Windows laptops numerous times in the past.
Instead of using the default Terminal emulator App, I want to open a Terminal Tab on the Chrome or Firefox Browser which I can do on Chromium OS (Crosh) but not on Ubuntu.
I have a chromebook series 5. I want to install Ubuntu onto a USB stick. When I downloaded Ubuntu onto my USB stick, it won't start up.
Do I first have to download Ubuntu onto my chromebook hard drive, open Ubuntu and then make USB stick bootable? And then return back to chrome?
Or is there a way to download directly onto USB and make the stick bootable?
I appreciate any help.
