Chromebooks run on Linux, but normally the Linux they run isn't particularly accessible to the user. Oh, and he's mutilating prototypes left and right with extremely necessary functions like He has reimplemented CSS as well as ASCII conversion in JavaScript. You probably don't want to see the unminified source. This will be much better once GPU acceleration is supported in window (whispers of which can be seen on the github PR), until then I guess we will have to ++ + forward and back to use linux on our Chromebooks. As there is not currently hardware graphics acceleration in the xiwi linux chrome window the performance is quite poor with Minecraft so I switched back to the xserverrc-x11 config. These computers are used by my kids and the linux partition is primarily used to play Minecraft. (the brackets with the | indicate choose one) etc/crouton/xserverrc- /etc/x11/xinit/xserverrc

$ ln -s /etc/crouton/xserverrc- /etc/x11/xinit/xserverrcĮdit: Google plus's markup syntax is jacked with no apparent way to escape a "-" so the strikethrough is artifactual. The reason for this is wrong symbolic link at /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrcīasically if it is linked to /etc/crouton/xserverrc-x11 you get the full screen version, if it is linked to /etc/crouton/xserverrc-xiwi you get the windowed linux. It pops up a window, however for the other machine it would continue to open full screen. So on one machine this is all I had to do. This loads the new targets and the '-e' encrypts the chroot and forces me to make a root password for the Chromebook which seems like a good idea. $ sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -u -e -t xiwi,extension -n trusty So to update my chroots I did this after installing the chrome browser extension: I have tried this and initially had some issues getting it to work, maybe my experience can help others to get this working:įor me I already had a crouton chroot running Ubuntu Trusty on 2 different Chromebook so I did not want to wipe and start over (after all in unix everything is a file). A dev environment should work great though. I turned it off because at this point 3d acceleration isn't enabled in the Chrome window, so games like Minecraft are not performant enough. My experience getting this to actually work on my Chomebooks (didn't work at first), and then turning it off.
