Found a solution to this that works at least for Acer Chromebook c720. Basically you need to change your kernel as is hinted above and then fix the trackpad.
1) Download and install another kernel. I used 3.14.4 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.14.4-utopic/). You'll need to grab 3 files: the headers _all, header-generic, and image- generic. Install the packages in that order. 2) Reboot, open up terminal and run "uname -r" (without quotes) and make sure you've booted into kernel 3.14.4 3) While in terminal, download the cros-haswell-modules script (this is part of chrubuntu): wget http://goo.gl/kz917j 4) Open up the script for editing: sudo gedit kz917j 5) Locate the following lines: # Grab Ubuntu kernel source apt-get source linux-image-$mykern cd $mykernver Change this section to the following: # Grab Ubuntu kernel source #apt-get source linux-image-$mykern #cd $mykernver wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.14.4.tar.xz tar -xJf linux-3.14.4.tar.xz cd linux-3.14.4 NOTE: Replace "3.14.4" with whatever kernel version you are using if you downloaded something different in step 1 6) Save the changes and close gedit. Back in terminal, type: bash kz917j Let the script run. If you encounter a message that says something along the lines of the patch already being applied, just type "y" and hit enter, and the script will continue executing. I think I may have had to do that a few times while the script executed. 7) After the script is done, just reboot and you should be good to go! Running 14.04 LTS, kernel 3.14.4 on an Acer c720 here and it boots up in ~15 seconds. Everything is working fine as far as I can tell! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308264 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 Beta 2 stuck at "Switched to clocksource tsc" when booting up, then resumes booting to the login screen, after 1 minute To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1308264/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
