Virtualbox and crouton with an HP Chromebook 13 #64

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

I found the documentation here: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Build-kernel-headers-and-install-Virtualbox-(x86)

So it was not clear to me yet if all the terminal commands specified are to be entered in the xfce environment or if some of them are to be entered in chronos shell.

Also I did comment out the -dirty area of the script setlocalversion in ~/kernel/scripts it i s not clear to me however if any other modifications are necessary to any of the kernel scripts to get a correct compile for an HP Chromebook 13.

I have been having strange issues with XFCE as far as my cursor jumping around to different text boxes as well as random mouse clicks being generated that I didn't ask for (with multiple input devices checked to make sure it wasn't my device). It makes it really hard to type properly so please forgive any spelling or gramer errors.

Also when unity-desktop is used I was unable to start a terminal for some unknown reason and I had to revert to XFCE environment.

The setup-headers.sh script was not working for my HP Chromebook 13 I got an error message saying that the kernel version was unsupported.

Is there instructions available specifically for an HP Chromebook 13 I have an Intel m7 with 16gb ram and I would really like to be able to use it to visualize my critical Windows applications but its not yet working.

Thank you!
