Notably I've now bypassed the gfxboot by installing Ubuntu on another computer to yet another USB stick (that is, two USB sticks attached to the computer) and using this install target USB as the boot device on my Chromebook.
gfxboot is only used when starting Ubuntu installation media in legacy mode, so a ready install does work. -- 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
