TheHotRodJayden commented 4 months ago

I have a question about the prebuilt image. When i boot into the bootloader what do i select? None of the options bring me to a desktop environment.

OtterCodes101 commented 4 months ago

you press the option that says default

ading2210 commented 4 months ago

The ones linked on the readme are outdated and a bit bugged, so you should download the images built by Github Actions instead.

Can you try one of the newer images and check if that fixes the problem?

TheHotRodJayden commented 4 months ago

I tried the newer image but when i select default (option 3) it just gives me a black screen

@TheHotRodJayden Which board name do you have?

TheHotRodJayden commented 2 months ago

Octopus

ading2210 commented 2 months ago

Are you able to try again with the latest prebuilts or try building it yourself? I don't have an octopus chromebook with me right now so I can't test it myself.

yall should just give it 5 min tops to load especially if you have a slow usb drive or are using usb 2.0
