I have the same issue. I tried two days ago and today, same :
Checking this link, I see the file seems named "Release" and not "InRelease". What should I do ? I tried a mirror like advised on some websites, no luck. |

Having the same issue. I tried the solution that was found in #2387, i.e. removing the installer-cache file, which I think is automatically cleaned up at this point(at least, it's never there when I look for it). Reading through the archives, I'm a little confused - does crouton currently make use of the keyring or not? I.e. is the error message legitimate or not? |
|
OKAY! I tried this with xenial instead of trusty, and it worked. The keyring error still came up but there were no failed downloads and at the end of it all, it worked! |

ChaosSpear, can you verify when installing either by terminal or software manager you don't get the http failed error. I would really like to have Linux back on my chromebook, but keep running into these errors. Thank you |
|
Terminal. Wasn't even aware that you could set up Crouton otherwise. |
|
ChaosSpear, my apologies. That was worded wrong. I meant after getting xenia, trusty, or whatever version you chose and successfully installed now you need programs. Say you were to install libreoffice for example, either in terminal or by software manager do you get any errors. I was getting http failed error 4. Have you encountered this issue? |
|
So far, I've installed VLC and removed Transmission. Everything seems fine so far. I'm certainly getting further than I was with precise or trusty. |
|
That is good to hear. I'll give it a try. Are you using any special commands or servers during setup. Thank you for your time. |
|
I didn't find any advantage to using a mirror, but you may find otherwise. I just specified encryption, xenia for the release, and I was using lxde-desktop as my target. I did make sure to delete all my previous chroots before starting. |
After updating my chroot about a week or so ago and it failed, I have not been able to install Ubuntu on my chromebook. I use the following command to install as I'm installing on a SD card:
sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r trusty -t touch,xfce -e -p /media/removable/UbuntuThen it ask for password as it should:
Choose an encryption passphrase for trusty:
