I've been attempting to install Ubuntu on my Chromebook HP 14 using crouton. I was following a tutorial on cnet, but I'm running into trouble. When I type command sudo -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t unity all I get is this large message.

Even when I try to open Crouton to look over the files it has I get this large message. I already tried factory resetting and reentering into developer mode, but still nothing. I think the installer may have come up before, but unknowingly I exited the shell so I think that maybe part of my issue. Any ideas?

Based on the last line on the screen ("/var/tmp/crouton.XXhGl4cZ" 87 lines, 3653 characters), it's the text editor vi that's running. Presumably the installation process wants you to read their license. To exit vi, type :q and hit enter. By exiting vi, the installation process will continue.
