Here Is Why Crouton Is So Awesome on My Chromebook

I used Crouton to install Linux on my Chromebook, and I’m using it again as I write this article. The installation is running on another tab of the Chrome web browser I’m using to write now. Here Is Why Crouton Is So Awesome on My Chromebook:

Also, read Earlier Crouton installation.

What Is Crouton?

Crouton is the acronym of Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment. It is a set of scripts that bundle up into an easy-to-use, Chromium OS-centric chroot generator. Thre fore it allows us to install Linux within the Chrome and run it after. So, Chroot means CHromium ROOTs(?).

Installing Crouton

Installing Crouton itself is easy as long as you have all the sources. And like I mentioned earlier, it’s running on the same web browser I’m currently using. So, reading your reference as it’s installing will be very easy.

But, turning your Chromebook to developer mode is quite tricky and boring. So, please be patient with this process, ’cause I almost slam my Chromebook to the wall for my lack of knowledge and patience.

You can read the step by step tutorial here and then come back here to install other OS (I was using Gallium on that page).

Or, you can continue by following these steps (after making your Chromebook in developer mode):

1. First, you will have to download Crouton.
2. Then press ctrl + alt + T to open the new tab
3. Type shell on the Terminal
4. The prompt will be Chronoslocalhost
5. Type  sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t keyboard,extension,unity -r trusty -n unitytrusty
6. Just wait until the installation finished and don’t close the tab!
7. In the end, enter your username and set your password (twice). Pay attention to “twice”, it means you have to enter the same password two times.
8. After it’s done, you can start using your Linux unity by typing sudo startunity on the terminal.

Why Crouton Is So Awesome on My Chromebook?

If what I’ve just explained to you is still not enough, what if I tell you that:

• I can easily install other Linux using the same process only by writing different command line.
• I don’t have to risk my data by accidentally formatting my drive.
• I can cycle through Chromium OS and your running graphical chroots using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Back and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Forward.
• Chrome OS and Linux installed by Crouton can share the same clipboard.

Cara Membuat Live USB Buat Install OS Lain di Chromebook, Mac, Linux dan Windows

Karena  ga mau mengakui kalau gw ini termasuk orang yang ga bisa konsentrasi, maka gw terus melakukan solusi buat benerin Samsung yang soft brick ini. Gimana gak kesel coba, bukannya jadi bener malah makin parah. Berbagai macam tutorial udah gw cobain, yang ujung-ujungnya gw harus install Windows dulu buat dapetin file yang dibutuhin sama si tablet tercinta ini.

Ya sejujurnya sih lantaran kalau bawa ke tempat servis yang kompeten macam Zapplerepair tuh duit jajan gw belum mencukupi. Walaupun gw pernah pakai jasanya dan puas bingitz. Tapi gw lupa sih beli apaan waktu itu… kayanya sih Macbook deh.

Sukur-sukur Zapplerepair baca ini terus mau berbaik hati benerin gratis. Tar pasti gw kasih banyak ucapan terimakasih. 😀

Dan ternyata… gw betul-betul susah konsentrasi. Ini aja tahu-tahu gw malah jadi download Remix OS. Awalnya sih gara-gara cari cara install Windows buat dual boot sama Mac. Buat install Remix Os ini gw perlu bikin Live USB. Dan USB ini bakal gw isiin pakai .iso Remix OS supaya bisa boot.

…daaaan Windowsnya selesai didownload dong! Fokus! Fokus!

Oke deh, sebelum semakin larut dalam obrolan gak berguna ini, mendingan langsung aja download UNetbootin dari webnya.

Cara Membuat Live USB

Sebelumnya, ini yang harus kita siapin:

• USB Flashdisk
• Disk Image OS yang mau kita install (.iso/.dmg)
• Komputer <— kalau gak ada komputernya mau install di mana dong?
• Akun PayPal buat donasi (iya, donasi… ini aplikasi gratis kok. Udah lemes duluan ya? Dasar pelit).

Cara Pakai UNetbootin ini sederhana sih, gak usah pakai tutorial segala sebetulnya. Mula-mula buka installernya, selesaikan instalasi lalu jalankan aplikasinya. Untuk pemakai Mac bisa tekan Ctrl (iya, control) + klik kanan buat buka installernya.

1. Masukin Flashdisk
2. Pilih flashdisk sebagai tujuan pembuatan Live USB
3. Pilih .iso yang mau dipakai
4. Sikat!

Nanti bakal keluar tampilan seperti ini kalau sudah selesai:

Setelah selesai, keluarin flashdisk dan flashdisk kita sudah siap digunakan sebagai Live USB.

Dan sekarang gw jadi galau dong mau install Remix OS ata Windows duluan… halah!
