You will be prompted with an opportunity to “turn OS verification OFF”.
On most Chromebooks, you do so by turning the device off, then holding down the ESC and Refresh keys while you press the Power button. To get to Developer Mode, we need to first reboot into Recovery Mode. The use of Developer Mode may void your Chromebook’s warranty. This could include important data like any files you’ve downloaded, or locally cached passwords. Since ChromeOS is an online-centric operating system, the vast majority of your data will be stored remotely, but make sure you’ve backed up everything important that’s local to your machine before you begin. Placing your device into Developer Mode will wipe all data and user information from it.
We will need to put our machine into Developer Mode to grant us this power. Originally authored by Canonical Web Team Enabling Developer Modeīy default, Chromebooks don’t allow us to use chroots out-of-the-box. We will add a tutorial covering this in the future (or why not contribute one?). The Tegra CPU needs additional drivers not covered in this tutorial. Updates to Chrome OS may also make Ubuntu installations inaccessible, as has happened in the past. It is not provided by nor supported by Canonical nor by the Ubuntu project. While we love the value that crouton provides, please note that crouton is a third-party script. Ⓘ crouton is not part of the Ubuntu project
We will use a third-party script called crouton to install Ubuntu using a chroot, giving Ubuntu its own “pretend” root directory system on your machine. Today we’ll be installing Ubuntu on your Chromebook, while preserving your original ChromeOS system. Learn how to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS in a chroot on Chromebooks, using the third-party crouton tool.
