I have now upgraded to a newer Pixelbook that has built-in support for Linux. After enabling the Linux container, these are the commands I used to install MLO (via wine):
#! /bin/bash # # repositories for wine & winetricks curl -s https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key | sudo apt-key add - sudo bash -c "echo deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ stretch main >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/wine.list" sudo bash -c "echo deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/winetricks.list" sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 # # now update the repositories sudo apt-get update # # install wine sudo apt-get --yes install --install-recommends winehq-stable sudo apt-get --yes install winetricks # # now prepare everything for the installation of MyLifeOrganized export WINEARCH=win32 export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine sommelier -X --scale=0.5 --dpi=160 winecfg # user has to manually click drives -> autodetect to set up the windows drives correctly, then save the new config sommelier -X --scale=0.5 --dpi=160 sh /usr/bin/winetricks msxml6 # user has to manually click some things here sommelier -X --scale=0.5 --dpi=160 sh /usr/bin/winetricks msxml4 # user has to manually click some things here # # install MyLifeOrganized if [ -f MLO-Setup.exe ]; then sommelier -X --scale=0.5 --dpi=160 wine MLO-Setup.exe sommelier -X --scale=0.5 --dpi=160 wine "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/MyLifeOrganized.net/MLO/mlo.exe" # # now install a start script and desktop icon so MLO is available from the chromeos launcher sudo apt-get --yes install icoutils wrestool -x -t 14 $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program\ Files/MyLifeOrganized.net/ MLO/mlo.exe > $HOME/MyLifeOrganized/mlo.ico ( cd $HOME/MyLifeOrganized ; convert mlo.ico[0] mlo.png ; rm mlo.ico ) cat >$HOME/MyLifeOrganized/start-mlo.sh << 'EOF' #! /bin/bash export WINEARCH=win32 export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine sommelier -X --scale=0.5 --dpi=160 wine "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/Program Files/MyLifeOrganized.net/MLO/mlo.exe" EOF cat >$HOME/MyLifeOrganized/mlo.desktop << EOF [Desktop Entry] Version=4.4.8 Type=Application Terminal=false Exec=$HOME/MyLifeOrganized/start-mlo.sh Name=MLO (wine) Icon=$HOME/MyLifeOrganized/mlo.ico EOF chmod u+x $HOME/MyLifeOrganized/start-mlo.sh sudo ln -s /home/mhantsch/MyLifeOrganized/mlo.desktop /usr/share/ applications/mlo.desktop fi # # success! # echo "All done. Your MLO setup is now complete." Put that code into a file called something like 'setup-mlo.sh' and place it in the Linux files. Also, download the setup program for MLO and place it into Linux files as 'MLO-Setup.exe'. Then open a terminal and run the command: bash setup-mlo.sh When winecfg comes up, click on drives, then autodetect, then save the config. On the other installers, you also have to click some continue and install buttons. It was pretty straightforward. Note the use of sommelier in the scripts to make the resolution scale better on the Pixelbook's hi-res (hidpi) screen. The script will also install a proper icon and lauch script for MLO, so you can start it directly from the ChromeOS launcher. This was tested with MLO 4.4.8. Enjoy!
