Hey thanks for making this program.

I'm haveing a hard time starting the elementary workspace. I've been able to run ubuntu in the past flawlessly with crouton, but I would like some help getting elementary os to run.

I started the installer and ended up with the picture attached. Am I writing the wrong code?

Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you!

Here are screen shots of what is going on. I unzipped the file by mounting it and dragging the mydear watson master folder to the downloads folder.

I had a similar problem; the first time I ran the script, it was located in a subdirectory within ~/Downloads instead of within ~/Downloads itself.

Your directory structure should follow as: ~/Downloads/crouton ~/Downloads/watson.sh

You'll probably have to powerwash your chromebook and reinstall. (I did) Also, startelementary needs sudo!

Thanks! Powerwashing fixed it! I'd appreciate it if you added that to your instructions, I'm sure many people start off with crouton with unity or xfce and then try elementary os.

Powerwashing is the solution everyone!!

Take care.
