Hi, The story so far... Have an Acer Chromebook 15, entered Dev Mode and have been playing with booting Elementary from a memory stick - decided to install on the hard disc. Downloaded the latest .iso (elementaryos-stable-0.3.1-amd64.20150903.iso - 28/11/15) and rebooted with this, then went through the install process and opted to wipe the Chrome OS (I have a recovery disc and have confirmed that it works). Installation went fine, rebooted successfully several times, installed Chromium Browser, installed Tweaks (via apt-get) and everything seemed good. Then got a message stating that there were upgrades available (can't now remember where the message came from - might have been the Software Center) - so installed the updates. Message stated that I must reboot to continue update - reboot now or later? Choose reboot now, got the usual 'scary screen', pressed Ctrl-D and that was it - nothing. Turned it off several times - same outcome, nothing happens at all. I can reboot using the USB stick, but not from the hard disc. I can also get the option to restore the Chrome OS - but it's Elementary I want. Anybody got any ideas as to what I've done wrong and/or any suggestions for a work around? Bob
Bob-- I wonder if you ever got an answer to your question, and in any case whether you figured out what went wrong. I've just purchased an Acer Chromebook 14 and planned to follow in your footsteps, being able to dual boot ElementaryOS. That choice, though, depends on a forum community that will take the time to help out someone with a question such as the one you raised. While I like the simplicity and elegance of ElementaryOS, Peppermint has its attractions as well, including what seems like a more robust user community from which to learn. Curiously-- --Kim
