Hi, Thought this info might be of use to someone...
Using information from https://mrchromebox.tech/#faq on the special firmware on the system. I downloaded the ISO, put it on a Ventoy USB stick and had to "play around" with the firmware UI to get it to boot from the USB Ventoy stick. Then I installed Ubuntu 22.04 from yesterday. This gives you a system that boots you straight to the GRUB command line. To get around that, do this:- 1. Press ESC at the firmware screen. 2. Experiment with the Boot Maintenance Manager to Boot from file. Pick the first entry. Then EFI → Ubuntu → grubx64.efi 3. Login to Ubuntu 22.04 4. Do these commands:- sudo su mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT cp /boot/efi/EFI/[distro name from above]/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi You should now have a system that can boot straight into Ubuntu 22.04. Note: I am not sure how elegant this solution is. But it does have the advantage of working. Personally, I prefer PC type systems to Chromebooks but I didn't have a choice in the matter.
