ETA Chromebooks

Installation on Chromebooks

This setup does require you to enable Developer Mode on your Chromebook so do that first. The rest of the instructions assume that you have done this.

To enable Developer Mode:

1. With power off, press Esc+Refresh+Power.
2. At the scary screen, hit Ctrl+D.
3. At next scary screen, hit enter. (For an existing setup, skip 4-6)
4. It will prepare the system from developer mode, let this run its course.
5. When it reboots and for all subsequent reboots, hit Ctrl+D at the warning boot screen.
6. This will have reinstalled the OS, so you will have lost ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you have done before. When it boots back up, setup as a brand new Chromebook.

Login using the password print4you

When logged in and in Developer Mode, do the following:

1. Install the Crouton Extension
2. Download the latest crouton installer by clicking here.
3. Open the crosh shell by hitting Ctrl+Alt+T on the keyboard.
4. In crosh, type shell (If the laptop is already installed with node, skip this step)
5. Run sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r trusty -t unity,xiwi and wait until the prompts are presented and answer them.
6. When done, run sudo enter-chroot to go into ubuntu shell or sudo startunity to enter a GUI.

• If you choose the GUI route, open a terminal and then follow along. Personally I prefer the sudo enter-chroot route, but its entirely up to you!
