I am pleased for the performance and design with my chromebook Acer C720.
I had installed crouton by following the procedure,
-
Enable develop mode -> esc + refresh + power button, then crtl + d.
-
Open crosh window by crtl + alt + t, type
shell
, runsudo sh -e ./crouton -t xfce
the default system installed in your chroot will be ubuntu 12.04 precise. To see the usage of crouton,sh ./crouton -h
orsh ./crouton -t list
orsh ./crouton -r list
-
Do not use the argument -P which install crouton via proxy, since opengpg verification would be failed by proxy, then process will pause.
-
To enter into ubuntu, just type
sudo enter-chroot
orsudo startxfce4
, switch system by crtl + alt + forward then refresh and crtl + alt + backward -
Recommend to install crouton integration extension in chrome from web store in google
-
Update ubuntu,
sudo sh ./crouton -u -t xiwi,extension,keyboard
, target xiwi should be placed at first, thensudo startxfce4 -b
, ubuntu will run in a chrome tab, that is amazing. An issue encounterred when install xiwi is missing the dependency xserver-xorg-core,sudo enter-chroot
thensudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core

Some things to do after installing ubuntu, such as
sudo apt-get purge xcreensaver
, install leafpad, VLC etc.
I would like to leverage usb tethering insteads of wifi tethering from my phone. At beginning, I had tried easytether wihch works perfectly with my dual systems, but the lite version only support http, not include https. I have to find another way to surf internet using usb tethering.
-
To run easytether, install easytether lite from google play, in ubuntu, run
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0.0
andsudo dpkg -i easytether_0.7.4-1_i386.deb
, it will install the easytether package in your system, typeeasytether connect
, allow the connection in your phone, a new net interface will appear byip addr
-
Another way to usb tethering, install adb in ubuntu, socks proxy way to surf intenet. Add ppa repository as below,
<pre> sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo apt-get install python-software-properties # to add apt-add-repository utility sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb sudo apt-get install android-tools-fastboot sudo apt-get install usbutils # to add lsusb command # Install tools to create a virtual interface to let chromeos can connet to an Ethen sudo apt-get install bridge-utils uml-utilities iptables #bridge-utils for brctl #uml-utilities for tunctl </pre>
Add following rule in file etc/udev/rules.d/99-android.rules SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0fce", ATTR{idProduct}=="61a9", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
Plug my phone to chromebook, type lsusb
, my phone can be recognized as Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0fce:61a9 Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB
.
- Follow these steps to connect internet with usb tethering
adb forward tcp:41927 tcp:41927
adb forward --list
- At mobile, run AzLink, at ubuntu run
openvpn azilink.ovpn
- Add bridge interface by <pre> brctl addbr br0 ifconfig br0 192.168.56.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up iptables -I FORWARD -i tun0 -o br0 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o tun0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4" > /etc/resolv.conf
</pre> 4. At this time, ubuntu can already connect to internet, but chromeos cannot. You need to setup internet connection at Setting Pannel, you just confirm the setting, nothing need to input, then you will see "Conneted to Ethernet", chromeos now can surf internet. If you find the "The Web page is not available" message suddenly, you may re-configure the file /etc/resolv.conf with `nameserver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4` or `nameserver 192.168.56.1`
