Install the Crostini package from the deb file:Īpt install cros-guest-tools. etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini gzip data.tar ar r cros-ui-config_0.12_all.deb rm -rf Ignore it.Īr x cros-ui-config_0.12_all.deb gunzip tar f data.tar -delete.
Here is the method to download the Crostini package with this command:
Even though we added the repo, we won’t be able to install the Crostini packages directly. Install the Crostini packages so it can integrate with the native filesystem.Įnter the following commands to add the cros-packages’ repo (one per time):Įcho "deb stretch main" > /etc/apt//cros.list if then sudo sed -i "s?packages?packages/$(cat /dev/.cros_milestone)?" /etc/apt//cros.list fi apt-key adv -keyserver -recv-keys 1397BC53640DB551 apt updateħ. Update and upgrade the system with these commands (no sudo is needed, because you are in root mode):Ħ. Once this is downloaded, boot into the new ubuntu-linux container:ĥ. This will take quite some minutes to install.Ĥ. Next, create a new Ubuntu container named penguin: Lxc stop penguin -force lxc rename penguin debianģ. To replace Debian, we will first need to strip the Debian container of its “penguin” label: The default Debian container is labeled as “penguin,” which is used to integrate with the Chrome OS filesystem. Open the Chrome browser and press Ctrl + Alt + T to launch the Crosh shell.Ģ. There are plenty of LXD images you can use, so you are not restricted to Ubuntu either.ġ. If not, you can switch to Ubuntu, as it provides more flexibility and software options. It will also help to use some sort of external storage such as a flash drive or an SD card for more space to install any additional programs.If you prefer stability and security, then sticking with the default Debian container is the best choice. You will have a more enjoyable experience if you use a newer model with better internal hardware. Chromebooks that include an ARM processor will not be compatible with a majority of Linux programs. I tested it on a Samsung Chromebook.īack in March, Dan Graziano at CNet also took a stab at getting Ubuntu to run on a Chromebook:Īny Chromebook is capable of installing Ubuntu, however I recommend using a model that is equipped with an Intel processor.
Some of the advantages of Crouton are that unlike other methods, you don’t have to reboot your machine to switch operating systems you can switch between them using keyboard shortcuts as if you are switching between two apps. It offers various desktop environments including Xfce, Unity, and KDE. The scripts are hosted on GitHub and currently support only Ubuntu and Debian. For this tutorial I have chosen Crouton (aka Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment), which is a set of scripts that bundle up into an easy-to-use, Chromium OS-centric chroot generator. There are many ways to install a Linux-based OS on your Chromebook. Swapnil Bhartiya at shows you how to install Ubuntu on your Chromebook:
