Devices that should work?

Open DavidFrahm opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

I really appreciate this project existing, and the hope it gives me for using a Chromebook full-time including some web development.

I've tried this on a couple devices with no luck:

  • ASUS C101
  • ASUS C213SA

Is there any info that can help me understand what devices this should work on?

This information would definitely impact my upcoming Chromebook purchase, just to share how relevant this info might be for people.

It would help if you could tell what you tried and what happened.

I appreciate your response. I'll try to post separate issues for those install failures.

The point of creating this issue was to discuss the creation of a way for people to know which Chromebooks this should work on.

This clarity would be super helpful. There seems to be a lot of known issues with processor types or something, but I'm still confused as to what to expect. I'm left not sure if I should troubleshoot it further, file an issue (but don't want to spam the repo, etc.

And I used to run Ubuntu full time back in 6.10 days, and still develop apps that build and deploy to linux servers -- so I'm not even a total newbie. I can only imagine how confused some people are ;)

Intel Chromebooks should work out of the box, am 32 but too. Arm 64 currently needs a32 but Userland. So in essence iit should work on every Chromebook capable to run acrouton chroot.

I found on my Acer Chromebook (C83-431) that reports an architecture of x86_64, I had to install chroot WITHOUT the -a armhf flag (around line 65 of the chromebook.sh script). See if that works.
