Hello All!! I would like to start off by saying thank you for all your hard work in trying to figure this issue out thanks again to all. so here i was with my new Acer CB5-571 with chrome OS on it and i just couldn't handle it any more i'm in the process of learning Linux and found that i could install it on my Chromebook, after a few hurdles i was able to finely get to the bios screen aka sea bios now i got this error from the USB drive and could not get past it. after reading the forum i came accost a post that said something along thew lines of "live" at that point it was like (LIGHT BULB) so i just simply typed live at the BOOT: command prompt and just like that it took off and i'm now installing kubuntu 17.10.1 I'm sure it may be way more complicated for some but i thought it would be good for me to post this to the forum as i normally don't in fact this is my very first post ever.. again i appreciate all of you in all the hard work every one has provided to this issue and i hope my findings help -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530530 Title: Installer doesn't show up on some Chromebooks: "Error setting up gfxboot" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/+bug/1530530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1530530] Re: Installer doesn't show up on some Chromebooks: "Error setting up gfxboot"
As mentioned, works in Ubuntu 16.10 and newer. The message is still there but can be bypassed. Note that Mint is Ubuntu with small tweaks, so Mint 18 (built on Ubuntu 16.04) working probably means their live image creation uses something else than gfxboot for the first run menu. Fixing gfxboot would be the best option, since changing to something else could break other computers too. Ability to skip gfxboot would be nice though. Before 16.10 I successfully did 16.04 installation by installing on another computer, and then transferring that installation to my Chromebook. Gfxboot is only used for Legacy boot's live session graphical menu, not for booting installed Ubuntu or for the UEFI live boot. So if any Chromebook gets non-Legacy boot working, also live image should boot without the error/warning message. These are the options currently. Feel free to co-operate a final full fix to development Ubuntu or backporting the workaround possibility to 16.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530530 Title: Installer doesn't show up on some Chromebooks: "Error setting up gfxboot" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/+bug/1530530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1530530] Re: Installer doesn't show up on some Chromebooks: "Error setting up gfxboot"
Based on favorable feedback and problems with Ubuntu on Chromebooks, I Will be trying Linux Mint and GalliumOS, since there is no declared fix /time-frame or debugging process for Ubuntu. Perhaps this is the fork in the road, where I commit all hardware to a migration plan away from Ubuntu? Compatibility matrix is sparse for Ubuntu, and I don't see the effort to improve it to address high volume platforms like Acer Chromebooks, and Samsung Chromebooks. I'm happy to contribute to Ubuntu-Chromebook testing, but someone has to coordinate the Chromebook-Ubuntu release and Chromebook fixes. Too bad, Chromebooks and dual-boot ChromeOS/Linux are a perfect combo for Education, R, software development, and the consumer space :( I guess we'll have to go with the Linux distro that's putting in the most effort for Chromebook compatibility :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530530 Title: Installer doesn't show up on some Chromebooks: "Error setting up gfxboot" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/+bug/1530530/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
