location of script?

[Pacman4484]

where is the location on a usb drive? just the name of the usb?

[TheFrankyJoe]

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you want to know the location of the script on your usb drive on the Chromebook ?

On Chromebooks, all removable media (USB Drive or SD Card) are located in /media/removable/NAME_OF_DEVICE/PATH_TO_WHERE_YOU_DOWNLOADED_THE_SCRIPT/

Since the name of the device can change depending on its label (Defined when it was formated), I can't tell you what it is. But, in the shell you can type TAB to auto-complete the path to the location of your device.

The script you need to execute is called main.sh.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Jonathan

Ah ok, you are downloading the script on Windows. You will need to to extract the zip file to the root of your removable media.

For example, if your usb flash drive has the letter E:, then you will extract it to E:\

Then root of you flash drive should look like this in the folder tree:

E:\ | | - devices/ | - files/ | - scripts/ | - LICENSE.txt | - main.sh | - README.md

You need to know the name of your removable media (USB THING) and not the drive letter.

[Pacman4484]

Would it be USB_THING? So cd /media/removable/USB_THING/

Yeah, it should look like that.

[Pacman4484]

It says for me bash: cd: /media/removable/USB_THING/: No such file or directory

If you type cd /media/removable/ and press [TAB TAB] on you keyboard, it should show you the available removable media.

[Pacman4484]

Ok I will try

You'll need to restore your Chromebook to factory default using a recovery image.

Yes, but you only need to run the script, so the command that looks like that:

cd /media/removable/NAME_OF_REMOVABLE_MEDIA sudo bash main.sh -d acer-c720

[Pacman4484]

Any other Linux distros you might do later ?

I'm not entirely sure and I can't promise anything :P

While it is a possibility (the script design supports it), for now its easier for me to focus on a single Linux distribution.

[Pacman4484]

Ok

It means that the download of the system image was interrupted while downloading, so it is corrupted. You'll need to re-run the script again to start the download process.

Ok I think my internet is bad right now
