2) in the command for installing UBUNTU I wonder what the two times '-e' stand for, one is in the beginning (after 'sh') and the other one at the end. Have however a few questions if I may: 1) my issue with Software-Center still exists (will also look further to try to resolve). If you need to download files from the internet use the Chrome browser and download files to the Downloads folder which can easily be accessed using Ubuntu.ĪST (orinal poster this question): great tutorial, I have absolutely no knowledge of Linux and succeed in installing Minecraft on the HP Chromebook of my son. Getting to the Chrome browser in ChromeOS is just a key combination away. I don't think you need to install another browser.

You can switch back to Ubuntu by pressing CTRL + ALT and the RIGHT button and then CTRL + ALT and REFRESH (the curly arrow next to the right arrow). You can switch to ChromeOS at any time by pressing CTRL + ALT and the LEFT arrow next to the escape button. I don't recommend installing another browser. So what applications do you need? In theory that is entirely up to you. You can therefore share files easily between ChromeOS and Ubuntu by placing files in the downloads folder. This is the same downloads folder that is used by ChromeOS.

If you click on the files icon on the launch bar you will see that there is a downloads folder under your username.

You will have a very bare bones system with just the minimum of applications.įirst things first.
