I'm using Google Pixelbook w/ Google Chrome Version 88.0.4314.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit), when I try to start Terminal (Linux) I get following:

[==       ] Checking the virtual machine image Error starting penguin container: 4
Launching vmshell failed: Error starting crostini for terminal: 4

Please advise.

I've installed Arch 2017.07.01 on a micro SD card in my Dell Chromebook 13 using [this guide](http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-killer-customized-arch-linux-installation-and-learn-all-about-linux-in-the-process) , and I'm using [John Lewis' SeaBios](https://johnlewis.ie/custom-chromebook-firmware/rom-download/) to dual boot. I can successfully get into the boot menuand select the micro sd to boot from, but I then get a Welcome to GRUB! message, and, instead of a GRUB console, i get a few lines of white distortion on top of my screen, with the boot menu still frozen in the background. I believe the distortion is the console outputting incorrectly as typing seems to change it, and it disappears after a while, reappearing when i move the mouse or type, like the screen falling asleep and waking up. I've already tried doing a full reinstall of arch, commenting out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT and GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET, and changing GRUB_GFXMODE to 640x480, but nothing had worked. Any ideas?

The other day I tried to get rid other the cheomeOS ony Acer Chromebook CB5-312T-K5X4, but when I went into developer mode and inserted the USB, it said chromeOS not found on this USB. I don't know if I didn't do the steps correctly, or if it is the Chromebook itself.I tried to do the ctrl +refresh+power button then I pressed ctrl + d. After that, I inserted the USB with Linuxmin and I already flashed it through Etcher. But when it rebooted, it said in developer mode, press space to switch to chromeOS or something like that. I am pretty sure that the drivers can run it, but if not please tell me. If I need to jailbreak this laptop or I didn't do it right, please tell me. I would like to install Linuxmint or Ubuntu. I would be willing if this worked with Kali Linux. When I entered sudo crossystem --all this popped up:

I know so little about Linux that I can't even format the question properly. I am trying to install something called Lambda Calculator on my Chromebook. It is not working and I don't know how to fix it. This is what I am supposed to be doing but I do not understand these instructions. Everything about this is new to me.

I am trying to install OpenBSD on HP Chromebook 11 G4 with CoreBoot (UEFI) installed through MrChromeBox firmware-util script. During the initial boot prompt (when you see the boot>) I can easily type anything there (like entering into User Kernel Config with boot -c for example). But after loading the installation program each time I press any key, and I mean literally any key including power button or enter, I need to wait for 1-2 seconds before chromebook responds. What is even worse is that each key-press is recorded/recognized multiple times. I have already found that setting kern.timecounter.hardware=acpihpet0 using sysctl can help but unfortunately I can't get past installation (typing "done" is not an option and it is required in some places because of failed load of initial iwm0 firmware) I know it might be the tip of an iceberg but I would like to begin with fixing the key-presses issue during an installation process. Since this suppose to be a question there should be at least one question mark. Is there any way to set kern.timecounter.hardware=acpihpet0 from UKC or any other way to fix each key being pressed multiple times during installation ? As a side note: from I can see most things during boot are not configured (like acpicpu at acpi0 not configured or Intel Bay Trail LPC .... not configured. Oh and I have already tried using an external keyboard with no luck since it does not work during installation program for some reason. Update: Just to preempt question since I did not mention this in the original question. The installation program does not detect any disk except for the build-in emmc. If it was not for this I could simply install the OpenBSD with autoinstall (multiple "a" count as 1 in that particular prompt and naming the response file like "bbbbb" works). Because of the above and the fact there is only wireless connection build-in I can't get sets necessary to finish the installation. I've managed to get past disk layout stage but there is nowhere I can get the sets from since the installation medium is also unavailable. Update 2: I have managed to install OpenBSD via Linux MX live usb with virtualbox installed. Sadly the keyboard is still not working. Any external usb device is not recognized either. When I press the power button I can see there is an info with something like:

pckbc timeout

I will keep this question updated.

opens the URL in a regular browser window. How to make it open it in an incognito window? No I don't want to type CTRL+SHIFT+N and paste it in the URL bar.

/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/exim4 runs the queue upon connection. Except on a Chromebook, where one uses wifi, not ppp. So if one boots at 3PM, sends a mail offline at 3:05, connects to the network at 3:15,... well the mail will still sit around until 3:30 when exim's half-hourly run finally takes place. > Just do runq -qqf, that will flush the queue for you. Thanks, but you don't get my point. I want the queue flushed automatically upon wifi connection.

$ ls Downloads
ls: reading directory 'Downloads': Invalid argument

How can I ever again access my precious Downloads directory? I've got something important in there! What next, a ransom note? I've got work to do. No time for fun and games. Seen on ChromeOS.

I installed Debian 11 Bullseye on my Chromebook, and I thought I'd try out a sample program from the Python.org tutorial about Tkinter. It failed at the first line after the imports; I got the following error message:

python
No protocol specified

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/tkinter/__init__.py", line 2326, in __init__

              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I don't quite know what to do when the code from Python.org doesn't run...The last part of the message seems to implicate X, but everything else writes to the screen quite handily, even though .Xauthority does not exist. Any help would be appreciated.

I want to download discord-ptb-0.0.29.deb on my Chromebook (it has Linux,

GNU/Linux 11 \n \l

to be exact), but it met me with this message: The following packages have unmet dependencies: discord-ptb: Depends: libappindicator1 but it is not installable How do I download libappindicator1? I've looked at other questions and didn't find the answer I needed.

I'm trying to setup linux on a lenovo chromebook duet 5, but I'm having trouble booting to a linux USB. I think that the problem is that I need to turn off OS verification, but I'm not sure how. Here's what I've done so far: I've mostly been working from these tutorials With this help, I've set the device to developer mode and enabled booting from USB. The tutorials indicate that when the devices switches to developer mode, it should ask if I'd like to turn off OS verification, but weirdly I never hit that prompt. The recovery/developer menu presents a "boot from external disk" option, but when I select that I get "No valid image detected. Make sure your external disk has a valid Chrome OS image." I've tried multiple USB devices, but with the same result. In the cross shell in developer mode, which I can access with ctrl+alt+refresh/F2 during startup, I'm prompted to use this command to boot from self-signed external images

Running this command produces a message that says that I can now boot from a self-signed image. I'm actually not sure what that means, but I'm still not able to boot from a linux USB. Two of the tutorials suggest that it might be necessary to flash the firmware, but they both suggest MrChromebox's Firmware Utility Script, doesn't support ARM, and this device is ARM. The other option suggested in the Arch tutorial is coreboot, but that doesn't appear to support ARM either. I've also searched for documentation from Lenovo on how to disable OS verification, but without success. If anyone has any clue, I'd be grateful!

I have installed postmarket OS on my old chromebook on an SD card. Every time I restart or resume my laptop (as in, close its lid for a bit and then open it again), the internet connection works, but after a while it stops working completely. I can't ping google.com (ping: bad address 'google.com') or its IP address. The entire time it seems to be connected to the wifi, but not to the internet. I have checked for IP conflicts by noting its IP with ifconfig -a when it is connected to the network, waiting until it stops being connected to the network and then pinging that same IP address. It can not find that IP address (icmp_seq=15 Destination Host Unreachable) I know the hardware works because internet connection works under chromeOS.

I am running chrome os Version 90.0.4411.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit) I have gone into settings and enabled my usb device and when I go into the terminal and run lsusb this is what I get Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0781:55a5 SanDisk Corp. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub The second one is my usb which I forwarded, but I can't find it in any directories and I can't figure out how to mount it. How would I do so?

Is there any way to run this executable on my machine? (Idk if this makes any difference but I'm running Linux on my Samsung Chromebook Plus w/ an OP1 processor)

I want to install VMWare or VirtualBox on my HP Chromebook x360's Linux Virtual Environment (Debian 11 Bullseye). The problem is that I do not know how to install it and I feel like I am missing a few things. I am not sure what is going on but it seems like I cannot install those programs for one reason or another. I really want to try hose programs if only out of curiosity. Can anyone help me with this?

I'm using Linux on my chromebook and recently I removed it from the development environment and installed it back. After installation, I ran

apt update

but after a few seconds, it showed me this:

How do I fix this please?

I recently installed Shotcut on my Chromebook via the Linux Virtual Environment (Debian) on the Terminal. While the program works for the most part, it is also asked me to update to the latest version. I downloaded the .txz files from the site but I am not sure where to extract the files. The version of the Shotcut video editor that I have installed is not the latest version. The .txz file is but I have no idea where to extract the file on Linux. I cannot use the Terminal to update it either as it tells me that I have the latest version. The .txs file is the lastest version and it has all the updated files. What should I do? Should I reinstall the software? Should I find a .rom or .deb file?

I have a Snow Bara samsung chromebook, I want to use USB boot to boot kali linux, without messing up my computer. I used enable_usb_dev_boot to get it to boot from usb, but it has problems when flashing the usb. I created a backup USB, and got a 32 gigabyte usb stick. The kali linux website says for their image, you need at least an 8 gb usb stick. The command that they use is xzcat kali-$ver-exynos.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sdb bs=512k I changed the xzcat name, and path to the corresponding one in my chromebook. I then changed the path of the dd command, to media/removable/USB\ Drive because that was the path of my usb (I checked this). Whenever I use dd it says error this is a directory. I then changed the path to /media/removable/USB\ Drive/ and it said permission denied. I don't see my error. current command is : sudo xzcat home/chronos/user/Downloads/kali-chromebook.img.xz | dd of=/media/removable/USB\ Drive bs=512k

For context, I was using a Linux version of BizHawk (A multi system TAS emulator) on Chromebook via the Linux Terminal that required Mono. There was an error (the error being that it crashed when I tried to make a video dump) where I could not create video dumps despite having the FFMPEG software version necessary to create them. The only way for me to use the video dumping feature was to get an actual FFMPEG software for my Linux Terminal. That fixed the problem but when I told this to someone, they told me that it was not supposed to do that. They also asked me for the log file and they noticed that I had Wine along with Mono at the time. I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling the Linux Terminal with only Mono installed this time. I used to have Wine in the original installation but I removed it to see if that fixed the problem. It didn't as there might have been something wrong with the emulator or my Linux Terminal. I know Chromebooks were never designed with games in mind but I needed to use it out of necessity. I am also confused as well. I wanted to use Mono for programs and Wine for other programs but I am not sure if it would have caused a conflict. Can anyone here tell me what side effects there are to using both emulators together? Will it cause a crash? Will cause some problems doe other Linux programs? My Linux OS on the Linux Terminal was Debian 11 Bullseye.
