How to installing Ubuntu 13.04 on the Samsung Series 3 Chromebook. A few things to note: 

Presently, on to the excercise! Ill be utilizing a 16gb Sandisk Extreme SD card for this excercise. At 20mb/s its not the speediest out there, however my Extreme Pro cards are all loaded with paramount pictures so I couldnt utilize one this time around. As a side note, 99% of the issues I have had with introducing ubuntu have been to do with SD card organizing and part names. The best thing to do is essentially to utilize a just took the ribbon off new memory card that has no remaining garbage on it. I have had accomplishment with designing a memory card in a cam. In the event that you have any issues, please email me utilizing the contact page and I will bail you make sense of it. For good measure, I like to organization the card in the Chromeos document application as well:

Simon has made a .sh record (shell script) that does a LOT of the work for you. This script can be found here: http://goo.gl/jis4r 

Download to your "Downloads" envelope on the chromebook – dont rename it. 

Head over to your support by pressing Ctrl+alt+?. Log in as "chronos" (basically sort chronos on the first line and hit enter). 

Presently you need to unmount your SD card so it can be taken a shot at, by writing sudo umount/dev/mmcblk1* (note the indicator ought to be written). 

When unmounted, now is the ideal time to run the script! 

sudo bash/home/chronos/client/Downloads/introduce ubuntu-center chromebook.sh/dev/mmcblk1 

You may need to hit enter a few times to get it running. On the off chance that you see a "/dev/mmcblk1p7 is mounted" slip, you overlooked the reference mark. In the event that you have any GPT marking slips, you didnt organize effectively. Once began the procedure will take around 10 minutes relying upon the rate of your card. Amid the methodology you need to enter a couple of choices, including console format and encoding. Essentially pick the ones that best fit you (U.s. console, Utf8 designing and so on.). 

Let the introduce methodology complete out. 

As trained, now is the right time to reboot. Essentially sort retreat in support then hit Ctrl+alt+?, or hold down the force catch. Once youre at the "OS Verification is Off" white boot screen, hit Ctrl+u to boot into your new Ubuntu introduce. 

Youre VERY almost completed. Now is the right time to get Ubuntu up and running. The principal thing you will need to do is log in as root. Essentially sort root and hit enter. We should take a moment and set the root watchword, by writing passwd ROOTPASSWORDHERE. Presently essentially sort adduser YOURUSERNAME so you can include yourself as a client. So for instance, I wrote adduser whatthetech. Verify its all lower case without spaces. Enter the illumination and secret word that you need, and affirm. 

Heres a picture of the full process (counting where I attempted to include a secret key before having a client, and attempted to include a client with an uppercase letter – Im human as well… lol)

Presently we should get joined with wi-fi so you can complete the introduce. Sort sh quickwpa.sh myssid mykey where "myssid" is the name of your wi-fi system and "mykey" is the secret key. It will take a couple of seconds to interface. 

At last, once joined with the web, sort able get introduce ubuntu-standard xubuntu-desktop chromium-program and hit enter. As world-laptops says "go get an espresso, in light of the fact that that will be a while". Its not a joke… .this will take a LONG time. Your chromebook is currently downloading and introducing in excess of 1gb of framework records, however its the exact opposite thing you have to do! When completed, now is the ideal time to log into your just took the ribbon off new 13.04 establishment. 

Appreciate!! Numerous because of Alex for making me mindful of the script that computerizes this methodology, and also delineating the shell charges to get operational! You can thank him on Twitter @androidfilehost or by heading over to www.androidfilehost.com 

Our sincerest because of Simon Porter for making the script being referred to – you can thank him on Google+ here.
