After that, follow the same steps as above and change the formatting option to Unix on Notepad++. chromeos-install.sh file will be available under the “Chrome OS” folder that you moved to the USB drive.
In case, you are getting an entirely new error like syntax error near unexpected token `$’\r’ ‘ while running the script then open the chromeos-install.sh file using Notepad++ on Windows 10. Now, execute “install.sh” in Linux Mint and you will have no issues. After that, choose “Unix” and save the file. Make sure to open “Edit” from the menu bar and then choose “EOL Conversion”. From there, you can edit the file easily.
In case, you are unable to edit the install.sh file on Linux Mint, go back to Windows and download Notepad++ ( Free).
Now, save the file and execute the install.sh file and it should install Chrome OS on your hard disk. Now, download the “tar.gz” file.įor example, if the hard disk name is mmcblk0 then /dev/sda in the last line should change to /dev/mmcblk0. To download the file, click here and look for the latest stable build and then click on “Assets”. The framework creates a generic Chrome OS image from the official recovery image so it can be installed on any Windows PC. It’s a framework built by a developer named sebanc so huge thanks to him for making this project possible. Now, download the most important file: Brunch. “grunt” is the image to use for AMD Stoney Ridge.Ĥ.“zork” is the image to use for AMD Ryzen 3XXX.“samus” is the recommended image for devices with 3rd generation Intel CPU and older.“rammus” is the recommended image for devices with 4th generation Intel CPU and newer.However, you should follow the below rule and download the specific image based on your processor. Here, I am recommending “rammus” because it works on modern Intel processors. Now, click on the latest recovery image to download it (right now it’s 87, but it may change in the future). Open the website and search for “rammus”. If this link is not working then you can download the image from here as well. After that, download the official Chrome OS recovery image from here.
Next, download Rufus ( Free) so that we can flash Linux Mint Cinnamon on the USB drive.ģ. Those errors shouldn’t compromise the installation and I still found Google Chrome between the installed apps after running the scripts.2. Warning: %post(86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1īut - I think - that’s because rpm is not the proper way to install apps on Clear. var/tmp/rpm-tmp.khWS37: riga 615: /etc/default/google-chrome: File o directory non esistente var/tmp/rpm-tmp.khWS37: riga 612: /etc/default/google-chrome: File o directory non esistente Warning: google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7fac5991: NOKEY I get some errors and warning obviously: # rpm -U -nodeps google-chrome*.rpm I just retried installing Chrome using rpm -U and it “worked”. That’s strange, I explicitly wrote rpm -U because it’s more generic and works in both cases. Rpm -U should work for updating later on. (At least, I needed to use -i instead of -U ) To install the first time, the last line of step 3 should read: Let me know your thoughts, and if there’s something that can be improved, especially about the dependecies, since Chrome is installed using -nodeps. Now if you don’t need it you can delete the package-utils bundle by running: swupd bundle-remove package-utils
To update Google Chrome you can re-follow the procedure above, or periodically run it in a script. To do this run the following commands, one by one: rm -f google-chrome*.rpm rpm package and, if you don’t need it, the package-utils bundle. Sed -i 's\/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable\env FONTCONFIG_PATH=/usr/share/defaults/fonts /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable\g' /usr/share/applications/sktop Run the following commands, one by one: swupd bundle-add package-utils Run the following command to obtain root privileges sudo -s
