I am trying to reinstall a full (not Crouton, not ChrUbuntu) version of Linux on my C720 Acer Chromebook.
I already have Ubuntu on there, but it's having some problems, and requires a reinstall. I already have SeaBIOS (CoreBoot).
I've created a live image on a bootable USB, and managed to start the installer on my C720. But after selecting "Install", the computer just restarts. Clarification: the live distro doesn't even boot, the installer from the USB only shows its menu.
I've tried:
- Ubuntu 14.10
- Fedora 21
What's going on? How do I boot a live OS on C720?
(The architectures are correct, x86_64)
dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX
where /dev/sdx is your USB. That's a coreutil and should not have issues in ubuntu. That being said, your ISO might be corrupt. Maybe trymd5sum /path/to/iso
and compare it to the hashes here
