Hallo Christoph,
I think sugar-build should work as-is.

In order to save diskspace and ram, and because I found it inconvenient, I disabled the fedora chroot (broot). In order to get all dependencies you should install de Sugar packages from the AUR (mantained by cgueret).

Currently I experience smaller icons than normal with the packaged sugar. Sugar-build runs fine though. I did have some issues building at first but I reported to sugar-devel [1] and those issues seem to be gone now (thanks to dnarvaez).

Regards,
Sebastian

Hola Sebastian,

thanks a lot for sharing your experiences, much appreciated.

Did you have to jump through any special hoops to make sugar-build run?

Cheers,
Christoph

I have the C720. It's a beauty and really fast.

It runs sugar-build on top of Manjaro GNU/Linux (Arch based) quite nicely.

The only issue I guess is at boot time the chromebook will warn you that "OS verification has been disabled, press something to enable it".

If you don't choose to re enable OS verification, it then makes you wait 30 secs, unless you know to press Ctrl-L.

Legend says it's possible to flash a new coreboot bios on it but I can't affort the risk to brick it.

In retrospect, I might have chosen to get the C720P that doubles the storage and memory and comes with a touchscreen.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi all,

because the question came up over drinks last night and now again at lunch here in Paris I was wondering whether anyone here has tried installing Fedora 20 with Sugar on a Chromebook?

I've done some research and you can find some good information about installing Arch Linux on a Chromebook as well as some partial information plus scripts for getting Fedora to run on an Acer's Intel-based D720 (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=295596). Apparently the results are quite good.

Anyway, curious to see whether anyone has any experiences beyond what's currently documented on http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Advanced_Topics#Chromebook?

Cheers,
Christoph
