Unable to boot directly

[mxtrix]

Hey guys, recently I have installed elementary on my Acer C720 Chromebook and I have run across an issue while trying to make it boot into the elementary OS by default. I have tried using apt-get update and apt-get install cgpt but it cannot find it and while using the command an error appears which states that the package cannot be found. When doing this from within ChromeOS the command runs fine but it just boots into ChromeOS again. I have managed to disable rootfs verification in an attempt to change the rc.local file but that does not seem to be helping either. Does anyone have any ideas? Cheers.

You're confusing crouton with chrubuntu. You can't boot directly into crouton, as it runs on Chromium OS's kernel. There are ways to make it autolaunch on boot (see DennisLfromGA's scripts), but that's more a convience than it is replacing Chromium OS entirely.

( There's also a wiki on how to use the scripts - Autostart-crouton-chroot-at-ChromeOS-startup )

I have placed the respected scripts in the correct folders but it does not seem to be working. The shell opens (when you normally press CNTRL ALT T) when a user is logged in but nothing else

@mxtrix, Please elaborate.

• What scripts have you placed in what folders?
• Did you modify the 'crouton.conf' and/or the 'crouton.init' scripts to launch your DE in your chroot?
• Did you reboot?
• Does the shell open without user intervention when you login?

Any or all answers to the above would be helpful.

@mxtrix - Any luck yet ???
