I hope to save up and buy one for myself next time, and get ubuntu onto it, but up to this point my learning stops here, so good luck to you, friend! Chromebooks are pretty awesome tech considering the cheapness.
With GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash add_efi_memmap boot=local noresume noswap i915.modeset=1 tpm_tis.force=1 tpm_tis.interrupts=0 nmi_watchdog=panic,lapic" Suspend: found this forum post just now according to Pascal148 you have to open /etc/default/grub, replace the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" Mouse: There's a shortcut for moving windows in ubuntu : hold alt+left click and drag speaking of mouses, you probably have heard there is script for rebuilding the kernel, right? Alternative to that is wireless mouse (I've found pretty cheap one, 15$, at Walmart) - that was my solution because I was to lazy to mess with those scripts. That requires removing write-protect screw inside the Chromebook itself (which is pretty easy to open actually). In other words, making SeaBIOS default should make it go directly into booting ubuntu. So what I found out in the process is this, but haven't actually got to implement it.īooting: According to Arch Linux Wiki, there is a way to make SeaBIOS default (which is what actually loads Ubuntu). I've bought C720 as a present and was also messing with Ubuntu for a month, but eventually went back to Chrome OS (I decided to give choice of the OS to the person for whom this Chromebook was intended). I don't mind starting all over again but obviously a quick fix is preferred ) Mouse at the side of the screen and eventually it pops up. Launcher bar: I've set mine to auto hide (which it does) but what exactly do you have to do to get it back? I just repeatedly jab the Moving windows: I don't have a mouse click button so how do I move windows around the screen? Keyboard and I have to hold the power down to restart it. At least when I open the lid the screen appears toīe on but the screen is blank with a cursor. Suspend: if I close the lid of the laptop then it doesn't seem to suspend properly. While it seems to be searching for something. My current issues are:īooting: it still goes to the chrome "unknown os" white screen - I have to press ctrl L - then escape then 1 then wait for 30 secs The installation sort of went ok but initially the trackpad didn't work so I ran a script that mostly fixed that. I recently bought an Acer C720 Chromebook (Celeron, 2GB RAM, 16GB SSD) with the intention of loading Linux and using it as a cheap development laptop while on my holiday.
