Looking to replace my Chromebook with a new One, my older Acer C720 will never get the ability to run Android apps apparently. Before purchasing a new Chromebook I want yo be sure I will be able to install Crouton and Linux so any suggestions would be appreciated. I was considering a Samsung pro, would that be able to run Linux?
Hello
I just upgraded my Chromebook to the latest version this afternoon and since then my Crouton windows is not showing the login window anymore. So I can not get into my Trusty OS.
Any Idea?
Thank you

I use Crouton on a daily basis for Java development and Amateur Radio digital modes communication. Eclipse runs fine on Intel based Chromebooks. I'm trying to configure a logging program for my digital modes communication, and the binaries aren't in the distro for Trusty, but they are for later versions. So, it's off to install Xenial, yippy!
Also, my chroot ran out of disk space after installing dozens of dependencies for something else I was trying out. Oh, well, it's time to start taking backups before doing such silly things.

After searching and not finding any answer, though I would try posting here.
I have a USB-C dongle from Mokin that has a VGA port for my external monitor. The monitor gets detected in both ChromeOS and my Artful crouton environment, but when I move a window onto or from the external monitor in crouton the whole system locks up and I have to hold the power button to reboot.
Nothing is getting logged, so can't even tell what the problem is.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
The dongle and monitor work fine in ChromeOS and dragging windows around does not crash it.

What is your favorite -r(release)/-t(target)? I'm currently looking for a good quality desktop environment. Any suggestions?

Hi. I just installed crouton on my c201 and for some reason, whenever i boot, I don't have a taskbar or a start button. could anyone please help me out?
I own a Dell 7310.
I've a nasty problem with my trackpad. As soon as i select txt of maybe select and copy txt, the left side of my trackpad starts being more or less unresponsive. When i proceed my trackpad starts spacing out.
rebooting solves the problem, but i hate that option - for work i have to select and copy & paste a lot. Not using my laptop for some time solves the problem too.
i googled again and again. but i can't find a solution. i tried things like: ctrl + shift + backspace; clearing clipboard history (but the last item i can't delete).
can this be related to the fact that i installed linux alongside chromeos (crouton), conflicting configurations? (pe linux doesnt support three finger scrolling).
the laptop is superb, but this problem is very very annoying since i hate using a mouse for work.

I have managed to get my Dymo labelwriter 450 to print through the USB from Crouton on my Chromebook, the label printer isn't cloud print compatible so I wanted a way to use it with the Chromebook. I can also print using wifi and usb with my Canon MX495 from Crouton. Because there is no method I know of scanning to a chromebook I thought I would try scanning from the MX490 to crouton and tried installing scangearmp, however I get a message saying dependencies not satisfied. I wondered has anyone successfully set up to scan to a Chromebook using crouton?
