Hello all,

I downloaded the latest Hexxeh Vanilla build(April 20), and tried to run it on an HP Mini 100e. That model isn't for retail, only educational, but for some reason a local hypermarket was selling them for 100€. It's not my primary laptop. Anyway, I wrote the USB stick and tried to boot it, and it booted to the first screen with language and network setup, and froze after about 10 seconds. Before freezing, if I checked the network menu, it said there were no connections, and WiFi was disabled. Nothing worked(tried Ctrl+Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Alt+SysRq+buttons, etc) after the freeze except forcing it off by holding the power button down. This problem turned out to be caused by missing WiFi firmware, so I booted the stick on my primary laptop(on which it worked fine), copied /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/*(it needs the rtl8192se firmware) from the HP's existing Ubuntu installation into the same location on the stick(remount / rw, mkdir, cp files), and booted again on the HP, and it worked. No problems, touchpad, camera, sound, screen brightness, everything works fine. So having a USB stick sticking out of the side is impractical, so I typed "install" in crosh, and it installed(from sdb to sda). I booted from the hard drive, and it froze just like it did in the beginning with the stick, only this time, if I quickly clicked the network menu, it'd show a list of WiFi networks before freezing. I took out the hard drive and put it into a desktop to examine, and the WiFi firmware files were there(I guess only rtl8192sefw.bin is needed, but I copied over all of them anyway).

Hi guys,

Hi guys,

I have a Lenevo YogaPad 13 with w8 on it. I just downloaded the latest Chromium OS build from Hexxehhttp://chromeos.hexxeh.net/ and would like to duel boot it with w8.

I followed the instructions he gave on his website, and it still would not boot. I then edited my BIOS settings to allow for Legacy OS so that it could boot from the USB. I then got to the setup page for Chromium OS and it could not find my WiFi. And because it could not find my Wifi, I could not proceed to the next step.

So if anyone could tell me how to fix this problem it would be great! Also a side question, will duel booting wipe my hard drives clean? (Sorry, I am new to this).

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Hi
I just tried the last week to get a regular Chromium OS Image to work with any of my graphic cards. Well it didnt worked. As i didnt use Intel-Machines it seems to be very hard to use Chromium OS. I recompiled the X-Server multiple times with different build options, but I always got an Segmentation Fault after loading the GLX-Extension.
So as i like the Aura-Interface i am forced to use it this way: https://github.com/dz0ny/lightdm-login-chromeos
But i've got the problem with dbus-stub implentations,
It is not a big problem that Chromium shows up fake vpn data to me, but the discharging battery stub is extremly annoying. Is there a way to get a stubfree Chromium-Aura Build, which would run under a normal Ubuntu?
