Chromium OS is an open-source project that aims to build an operating system that provides a fast, simple, and more secure computing experience for people who spend most of their time on the web.
All downloads are located at https://chromium.arnoldthebat.co.uk/. This will be updated daily where builds compile succcessfully..
Build Instructions for USB
- Linux
- Use p7zip to extract the IMG file from the downloaded file.
- At the shell, run the following (where sdX is your USB stick and ChromeOS.img is the path to the IMG file you extracted):
dd if=ChromeOS.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M - Boot from USB stick
- Windows
- Use 7zip to extract IMG file from the downloaded file.
- Use Win32 Image Writer, then select the IMG file and select the USB device from the menu.
- Click on “Write”.
- Boot from USB stick
All builds based on amd64 and ARM generic board.
If you want to install to your hard drive, follow the instructions here and here. Heed the warnings noted in the links!
Please note: there is a new behaviour with the chronos user password. The password has been removed from build R55-8777 onward and will continue to be removed for better overall security. Older builds have the password of ‘password’.
This means you need to use ‘chromeos-setdevpasswd’ from either shell or console to set your own password from build R55-8777 onwards.
By default, this also disables SSH access so if you also need this level of access, you will need to set a separate password using ‘sudo passwd chronos’. This allows the password for dev access and SSH access to remain separate if needed.
You can also just set a password using ‘sudo passwd chronos’ and this will allow for both dev and SSH access if you need to keep them the same. Do not use ‘chromeos-setdevpasswd’ if you want to keep the passwords the same.
Once installed, you can update from the Dev Server noted here.

First of all, I want to say Thank You for all of the builds of Chromium OS. For the most part there stable, and they work beautifully. But I’m having issues with one of my lower end laptops.
The Wi-Fi (which is an Intel chipset), won’t work on any x64 build. I checked with modinfo (‘sudo modinfo iwlwifi’), that it wasn’t loaded. I checked dmesg (‘sudo dmesg | grep iwl’) and no system messages were found. However on the x86 build (any x86 build), iwlwifi loads successfully, and Chromium recognizes my Wi-Fi chip. But if you don’t connect to Wi-Fi within like 6sec. Of the boot up screen, it’ll say Wi-Fi is turned off, with an option to turn it back on, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Interestingly, if I plug in an Ethernet cable, and then unplug it again, Wi-Fi will start working again iuntil you reboot. I tired copying and overwriting the newest UCODE 7265 available from Intel’s website (which also contains the driver for my 3165), but everything stayed the same, it Wi-Fi won’t work without Ethernet pluged in, etc.. I downloaded it from: http://www.intel.com/c
ontent/www/us/en/support/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking/000005511.html
My second problem would be the touchscreen isn’t recognized, which isn’t an issue, well not an important one, but it would be nice to get it working. When I ‘catted’ the /proc/sys/……., I found out my touchscreen is a Raydium one (It jusg says Raydium Touchscreen, nothing specific), and the input for it is at /dev/input/event8 (if I cat this and touch the screen, I see some lines moving). So if you could just solve o r help point me in the right direction of what I need to do, then I guess that would be nice.
This sounds like the problem with AP-Manager. Try the latest special build which removes it entirely (rather than disabling it). Ill have a look at the touchscreen: https://github.com/arnoldthebat/chromiumos/issues/73
HP Stream Broadcom not working
Hello and thank you. Forgive me but I am a newbie to all of this so please be patient with me.
I used to have a Chromebook which I loved. But it broke. I then bought my current laptop, an 11″ HP Stream. Which has Broadcom wifi (I think BCM 43142)
I installed the latest 64bit special build today – 11 June 16. Which works more or less apart from the touchpad right click (which seems to work with two fingers), the drag whilst holding down the touchpad and most importantly the wifi.
Currently I am attaching my mobile and tethering to get internet but it isn’t a satisfactory solution.
Can you please help me with the issues and in particular with the wifi problem.
Many thanks again for all of your kind work.

To those whose installs are hanging at: BOOTING THE KERNEL. That was happening to me. I used Linux to install to the usb stick; the last line of the instructions said to type ‘sync’ after the ‘dd’ command completed. On the third time I tried this, I followed the instructions and typed ‘sync’ (had not done this before). That install worked just fine. I am writing this on my laptop using the 3rd try.
I have a question. Can this be dual booted? I would like to have the option of running Windows or ChromeOS.
Thanks
I made this process in linux . Command ” dd ” and , once completed, the command ” sync” . but still hangs on the boot screen . What to do?
On my laptop, it just hangs at “Booting the kernel”, I have re-burned the image several times, and it does the same thing.
I have a Dell Precision M4400, with a 2.5gHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, and an nVidia Quadro FX 770M
I tried the CAMD64 builds.
I would like to get Chromium OS working on my laptop.
Ardmnord, I am about to start do my own build of ChromiumOS. I will start with a pretty Vanilla build just to get my feet wet. But I have a few questions. Does the kernal dertermine if the build will have the drivers for my chipset IE: A Dell Latitude D820. Also, what is the best way to add chipset, network sound and other drivers before the build to make sure modprobe picks them up on boot? As well, How to I compile the enterprise enrollment feature into the build. Thank SO much in advance.
Hi, you really need to read up https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-guide as a start point
Okay Arnold, thanks ha ha ha.
Hi Arnold, I am having an issue installing onto the hdd of an ASUS P550C laptop. Changed sata to IDE/ACHI . Machine fails to boot into Chromium says no boot device. install via chromeos-install –dst=dev/sda. Tried boot repair in Ubuntu 16.10. still no joy
fdisk & lshw list follows. Any ideas how to boot from the sda1 with chromium.

Hi
No idea really. I assume Ubuntu works fine installing to hard drive? You shouldn’t need to change it to IDE since SATA should work fine. Im assuming you are talking about where this is set in BIOS
I have the same problem, and I am certain it is because the SSD sector size is 4096 instead of 512.
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Also posting a wall of text like that is not cool
Tried installing the CX086 from May 20th and it just sat at the Chromeium screen, I then tried the special build R50 and it went to the chromeium screen and immediately went to the black prompt screen saying it was booting the kernal and went no further. I’m trying to do this on an Asus Eee PC with an Atom processor.
I tried the R52 release and the Chromium flash screen went away, but chromium never loaded. I tried ctrl-alt-F2 and it took me to the command prompt. Does that mean it’s a video driver issue? The video card on these laptops is the intel graphics media accelerator 3600 series according to the device manager.
OK, have you tried any earlier special builds with your device and do they work graphically?
I tried the R33 build and it seems to work okay, the touchpad doesn’t work correctly, the cursor just goes to the top right corner of the screen whenever i touch the touchpad. The video work fine though. I also tried the R42 with no success. I am trying to get this working for netbooks that the school I work for uses.
The R34 version also boots fine, the touchpad issue is still there, the pointer moves to the top left corner (sorry I wrote that wrong in the previous post) and won’t move from there. When I plug in an external mouse it works fine, but if I touch the touchpad, the cursor again goes to the top left corner of the screen.
Have you tried some of the later versions?
Hi
Great site by the way. But having trouble getting this to work on DELL OptiPlex 160. (Intel Atom 330 (1.6GHz, 1MB L2 cache) dual-core processor. Chipset: SiSM671 Northbridge and SiS968 Southbridge.)
I get to ‘Booting the Kernel’ and it then stops.
It would be great to find a fix, as I have quite a few of these old things and they would be ideal with ChromiumOS on.

I have a couple of test devices running Chromium-OS (R52 Special) which I have successfully enterprise enrolled into my domain.
They appear to be receiving user policies fine, however, they are not pulling down my HTTPS inspection certificate.
In fact, the whole of chrome://certificate-manager is greyed out, not even displaying the default certificates.
Other standard Chromebooks and Chromeboxes on my domain function correctly.
Does anyone have this working, or can anyone help shed some light on this please?
Thanks in advance.
Hi. Have you tried a manual import into /usr/share/chromeos-ca-certificates/ or /usr/share/ca-certificates/. You could check on the existing working Chromebooks.
Ill be looking at this soon since its fairly important to get working!
Also, have a look at https://github.com/arnoldthebat/chromiumos/issues/48 (http://www.korecky.org/?p=855) for a potential manual hack.
This ‘might’ be stopping things hoewever: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/tpm-usage so Ill need to review further
Hi…
First of all thank you.
I wanted to know, if there is any possibility of installing these builds in a separate partition without disturbing my existing linux installations.
i.e without using the in-built “/usr/sbin/chromeos-install” script, that would nuke my hard disk.
Hi there,
I see that you release builds frequently. That’s great. One question: if I install a release today, when the next release is put out, will it/can it update to the new release? Basically, can you upgrade from release to release?
Thanks!
The vanilla builds will only update (daily) if you choose to alter the update server. The special builds will update around a week or so after I release a new build
Storage Issue on Chromium
I installed and am running Chromium off of a 64 GB Flash Drive in old pc, but when I typed “chrome://quota-internals” into Chromium Chrome Browser I get:
Free Disk space for the profile directory: 280.89 MB
Where is all my storage? I should have at least 60 GB or more!
I did a search on “disk format” at http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os …
The first search result was “Disk Format Feb 28, 2015, 4:44 PM by Kevin Cernekee”
Half way down the page he says …
Bootable USB keys have the same layout, except that kernel B and rootfs B are minimal-size, and partition 1 is limited to 720M. The total USB image size is around 1.5G. When the USB image is installed on a fixed drive, the B image is duplicated from the A image, and partition 1 is made as large as possible so that the entire disk is in use.
So does this mean I have little to no storage off the usb the os is on?
Can I fix this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Matt
Problem Playing Video Files
I installed and am running Chromium off of a 64 GB Flash Drive in old pc
I tried playing some video files and I can’t. I right clicked on the video file and tried to use the default movie player, the player window opens up, but the movie never plays, I just get a circle going around and around.
I tried downloading vlc from the chrome web store, but got a google server connection failure when it tried to download.
Can you play video files on Chromium?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Matt

Hi. Keep an eye on https://github.com/arnoldthebat/chromiumos/issues/76
Will this build ( CARMOS-20160522010102.img) work on the Remix Ultra Tablet?
Try it and see!
I’m trying to get the latest x86 daily build to work on an old desktop PC with a P4. Every time I hit ctr-alt-F2 and install to HDD it doesn’t work. When I use lsblk to list hard drives, the only one it sees is /dev/sda which is the usb drive with the installer on it. Doesn’t seem to find my internet HDD. I’ve also tried the special build with the same problem. Cloudready works with no issues, but we can’t afford to pay them in order to enroll them in our google domain for management. Anybody have any suggestions?
Hi, you need to be using the special builds for Enterprise enrolment. If you use a Linux live CD (such as Ubuntu) what drive layout can you see?
When I use Cloudready, I can see SDA and SDB, but when I boot from the latest special build I only see SDA which is the USB
How odd. Looks like they have better drive support!
Hi there,
I have tried your build and they seem to work perfectly. However, I am having huge problems booting this on my Chromebook (Yes, I know this runs chromeos but I personally prefer chromiumOS for developing, etc)
One setback is the WiFi would not load up (Assuming thats an issue with everyone considering WiFi does not work on some devices)
The biggest problem is the Chromebook Trackpad does not work with ANY ChromiumOS Build, or on any Linux Distro (apart from Ubuntu, RemixOS) AT ALL. If Ubuntu and RemixOS can pick up the Trackpad, can you make your one do the same please?

I’m Sorry, but i can’t to virtualize the system on VirtualBox, maybe i am doing something wrong, who can to help me to install chrome os on VM VirtualBox…??? whit a tutorial o something like that. thx 4 everything.
Hi
Still not working on VirtualBox graphically. Its on the (very long) list of things to review. You can convert any image (special or normal) using qemu-img convert -f raw -O vmdk Camd64OS-20160605010101.img chromiumos.vmdk as an example.
qemu-img is from the qemu-utils package on Linux.
First of all – THANK YOU so much for this! The issue I’m having right now is installing to the Hard Drive. I can boot fine using the USB and use Chrome off the USB, but when I go to follow the instructions, it gives me this error:
initctrl: unknown instance
Error: can not determine destination device. Specify –dst yourself.
Using Camd64OS_R52-8268.0-Special.7z on a Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7901
Try /usr/sbin/chromeos-install –dst=/dev/sda
Tried that Arnold. Throws the following error:

As you can tell, not a Linux guy. So I’m sure this is something easy that I’m overlooking.
Oh, I think I found out what happened. There needed to be a double dash before dst. So the syntax should have been /usr/sbin/chromeos-install –dst=/dev/sda
At least I hope so. Looks like the install is taking. Thanks again for all your help man.
Double dashes after dst! Looks like this forum comments double dashes out.
Any info about playstore integration in chromium, or it will be only for chrome os?
If Google include it, it will be deployed in ChromiumOS as well
Hey! I just installed build Cx86OS-20160610010101 onto an ancient Vista laptop. It works pretty well! But there’s a problem. Aside from the touchpad not working (which I can live with), I’m having a pretty major problem with the WiFi. It will work for about 30 seconds after boot, even allowing you to connect and start the sign-in process, and then it will inexplicably stop working – in the menu, it says WiFi is turned off. The machine does have a WiFi button but pressing it does nothing. Also sometimes randomly this issue will not happen at all and WiFi will continue working normally. This issue was never present on the original operating system. Any hints on where I should start poking to figure this out and/or what other information you would need to help me out? Thanks!
On the vanilla builds, you need to get to shell, sudo su and then issue “stop apmanager”. This will fix it.
Its disabled on the special builds if you want to try that.
Thanks! Yep, that works. I already discovered that updating from non-special to special just hoses the system, so that’s over with. A fresh install of the latest special build results in just hanging on the boot screen – pressing caps lock will toggle the light, but that’s about it. So I went back to vanilla and after installing to disk, I mounted the filesystem and removed the apmanager script from /etc/init and rebooted – works a charm! Thanks for maintaining this 🙂
ASUS eeepc 904HD. Tried using the latest x86 version. On booting it appears to be installing – CHROMEOS logo shows, legend says its correcting the installation and a countdown clock in the upper left corner – but after the clock reaches 0:00 Windows XP boots.
Anyone have suggestions?
Google Play store anytime on these builds?
Have you tried the latest builds?
Yes i did…
i installed 23June nightly.
Found no option in settings to enable google play store.
Any other way?
I can’t connect to the internet at all, even with ethereal. WiFi will stay for a few moments but then after that it disappeared until another boot-up. Help me?
sudo stop apmanager should sort your wifi
Great job. Is it possible to have it alongside other OS on berryboot? Need a squashfs image for rasp pi 2 model B desperately!
So I tried both the standard Chromium OS build as well as the Special build on my Chromebook Pixel 2 LS, and both have very different trackpad behavior. Neither one is the same as ChromeOS, however.
Is there any way to get trackpad behavior on par with stock CrOS? The trackpad is one of the best parts of the Pixel and I’d love to have the same level of performance on ChromiumOS.
Is this handled via CMT?
My version is handled by X currently. CMT is coming soon.
Just wondering about trackpad settings. I own a Sony Vaio Pro 13 and on your special build it mentions that no keyboard or trackpad is recognised so I cannot change the flow of scrolling (it’s not natural atm). Is there a command to remedy this?
https://commonsware.com/blog/2016/06/27/android-chrome-os-getting-started.html
Is it possible to get the Play Store on Chromium OS yet?
Not yet. Its not clear whether it will ever be possible. I’ve not reviewed it in detail as yet.
Have you booted any of the images as a KVM guest? Did you just boot the .img directly? Any special guest configuration required?
You need to convert the .img to a suitable format for KVM to boot. Have a look at qenu-img for the command line switches to do this.
downloadedthe daily model (july 2nd, 2016) x86, followed instructions, booted via USB. The chromium logo loads, but that’s it. It just stays at that. Anyone else had this problem, and if so, how do you fix this issue?
Thanks
Whats the laptop model and graphics card?
I have the same problem with an ASUS TP200SA , special build hangs on chromium logo , sometimes it gets past that and i get the blank screen and the | flashing but i can get to the terminal , while with the daily build i can’t get the wifi working ( also forgot to mention that the notebook doesn’t come with an ethernet port ) . Everything else work on the daily build , surprisingly both touchpad and touchscreen!
I’d never played with Chromium OS/Chrome OS, but i’ve been trying Android x86/RemixOS, and I’m very happy to experience your build for Chromium OS, it has been the most seemless so far. Thank you.
I have a Lenovo Yoga 700 11isk:
(http://psref.lenovo.com/syspool%5CSys/PDF/Lenovo%20Tablets%20_%20Convertibles/Lenovo%20Yoga%20700%20(11%20inch)/Lenovo_Yoga_700_11-win486.pdf)
I’m running version 54.0.2787.0 (64-bit)
Platform 8556.0.2016_07_07_0556 (Developer Build – buildbot) developer-build amd64-generic
The only problem i’m experiencing so far is the touchscreen not working. I’ve tried the two most recent special builds (R50-7881.0 & R52-8268.0), but can’t get past the boot message or logo.
If you are interested, I’m happy to gather any information you require.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the fabulous builds… (since I’m new to all this and just want to try out CrOS)
quick question: I’m trying to boot in a VirtualBox system — could you write a page for current recommended settings since the virtual disks are no longer being published?
I’ve got the USB Image to boot (once extracted to a USB drive) — but the screen stalls out at “Booting the kernel.”
Thanks!

Hi
VirtualBox isnt currently supported. Its one of the very long list of things I’m trying to fix..
Thanks for the update…
Keep up the fabulous work!
I tried booting this in qemu using kvm with both seabios and uefi. The seabios one says it loading the kernel but then freezes after a while, the uefi one shows a grub prompt but when I pick any of the options nothing happens. Anyone else get this to work?
Hello, i’m new to this and only downloaded the daily build that was compiled yesterday as my first boot up file. Like some of the people here, my screen just turned black after the chromium logo appearing at the start of a boot. After skimming through the comments, I once spotted that any daily build will likely not support an AMD CPU – is this still the case for today (15/07/2016)? I also rooted my USB like suggested by some of the posts on the internet, but the problem still persists. I’m essentially trying to revive my netbook. A rough spec of my computer > AMD Athlon X Dual Core L310 (1.2 GHz, x64-based processor), 4GB DDR2 RAM, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics, and a recently install SSD OCZ-Trion150. Please note that I recently became interested in the Chromium project because I upgraded the RAM (from 2GB to 4GB) and HD on the mentioned computer, and expected it to cope with an allegedly lightweight Windows 10, but the system still lags considerably. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. If my computer isn’t yet supported by Chromium, then I will bite the bullet and look into the scary world of Linux. haha Thank you
Hi arnold, does these build work with non-pae processor? i have an Dell Inspiron 700m with Cerntrino processor. Thanks!
Try it and see!
The files app is completely unfunctional (except guest) – only buttons at top (search, more, sorting…) show but they are locked. Nothing more.
Added API keys to chrome_dev.conf, tried on second account but nothing.
Yes, Ive seen that on the latest versions so I am reviewing why as we speak! I build API keys in to the special builds so its not the problem (I think)
Thanks for making these builds available.
I have installed Camd64OS-20160718010102 on an old HP Elitebook and all went fine, except that the touchpad doesn’t work and the wireless card isn’t detected. Can you give me any pointers on how those problems might be fixed?
Thanks again.
Hey Arnold, I have an Acer Aspire cloudbook 14 and I can’t seem to get the wifi to work. I tried various versions, lastest 64 bit, lastest 32 bit, even the broadcom special edition and no luck. I guess the Acer uses intel wireless hardware. I can’t check exactly what it is because I have no OS on the system. Any help from you or the community is appreciated. TIA
First time playing with chrome-os, so might be a dumb question… Booted R52 special off USB ok, got splash screen, then a blank screen with just the mouse pointer. Ctrl-Alt-T should give a command box, I believe? Nothing. NOr mouse buttons.
Jumped to the console and can log in as root or chronos OK. I can run X client tools from there – glxgears, for example, runs and gets 492 frames/sec, so I know X is happy. But no window manager/desktop or browser?
Any idea where to look for logs or what the desktop is called?
And Arnold, awesome work here! Request – can you put xterm in /usr/local/bin please?
Hello Arnold, Thank you very much for offering this great service. I am very new to your site, though have been using chromebook from its very first beta days. First time trying on a usb stick.

It mostly working very well! One very serious problem:
The wifi does not connect, though it does at the end of the boot transiently show my wifi. Once I select one, and after it tries, the wifi gets disabled for good. BUT IF HAVE LAN, THEN THE WIFI CONNECTS, AND THEN i CAN REMOVE LAN.
Any suggestions?
(BTW, R50, 52 does not work at all, black screen after chromium logo, but can get to c-a-F2, and that appears to work fine. But no c-a-t console]
Some very basic questions:
1. With my 64 bit intel processor, should I be using the Camd64 or the Cx86? On R50, R52 the Camd64 does not even show the chromium logo.
2. My usb is 32G. Is there a way to configure a bigger partion, I am seeing ‘Disk space critically low’ warning; but clicking MangeStorage crashes the brwoser.
Suggestion: It would be valuable to have a link on the left panel of your site to point at how to install on internal storage, and how to do updates. I have seen those at your site once, but cannot locate them any more. Thank you again for all your great work!!
I found out that I can get wifi working by killing apmanager daemon. I am reluctant to turn verification off to edit out apmanager startup.
Yup. Its pretty flaky at the moment. I turn that off in the special builds…
Is the Camd64 daily builds supposed to be working on intel 64 bit notebooks? None of those builds I tried works here…
For apmanager killing:
I put a little script on my windows drive (which does get mounted on /media/removable/Windows) to basically do
kill `pidof -x apmanager`
and then I run that on everyboot from the c-a-t console, by souring the script sitting in the Windows directory.
I figured out a way to expand the first partition on my large usbcard, with fidsk to increase the parition size, and then resize2fs to increase the file system size. Unfortunately, I have to do this every time I down load a version 🙂
Arnold, you may know this already. For the daily build of x86 0724 (on the .7z), the label on the .img was 0723. It would be nicer if those two were identical… Thanks.
Arnold, my last msg was not precise. The dates on a downloaded .7z and the extracted .img are the same. The differing one is the date listed on the website.
Multiple daily x86 (all recent) I tried in the last week works on my Thinkpad 11e 3rd gen (the complete spec is in one a couple of msgs before).
But none of the amd builds works. 0728, 0738 version get to the first of the login screens; but there is no keyboard, internal mouse pad, or external wireless mouse working.
Is this possibly expected? I am eager to try the amd 64 bit version for the improved performance I hope to get. Any tips, Arnold?
Answering my own question. I found out that, even though the mfg spec shows my new lap top as 64bit, it is i686, and so amd64 (or x86_64) binaries will not run it.
I am taking back my last comment. My Lenovo 11e 3rd gen (Win 10.1 laptop) with intel N3150 is 64bit capable. I am able to run the most recent CloudReady early release 51 quite well. 51 is a much earlier chromium than you 54 dailys; however a few of the earlier CR releaes I tried wont come up, stuck on the black boot screen just like your 64 bit daily builds. [Recall, I can run your 32bit daily].
This is for your info. I am not requesting or suggesting anything… Thank you for your continued efforts.

Hi Arnold! How can I download Pepper Flash for this build? Also, my Google Drive is not syncing correctly with the “file manager”. Any ideas?
The vanilla builds dont work with google drive. The special builds do however.
I don’t have flash player. I can’t seem to find it in plugins and I can’t watch any videos online (youtube works) and I can’t play any online games. Is there a way to install flash?
Hi – lots of options available if you google it.
I tried installing it with “curl -L http://goo.gl/JL1An5 | bash” command several times,but it always starts downloading and then I get an error. When I go to download Flash on official website,it just says “Your chromebook will always have the latest version of flash”. I can’t find any other solution online.

Hi !
When booting on the usb I get into the grub consol and… that’s it…
I’m on the Camd64OS-20160815010101.img build.
Anyone knowing how to fix this issue ?
Thanks
Problem solved: I flaged the usb key (using GParted) as boot before executing the dd command.
Can you please give me step by step info on how to install Chromium OS from my USB to my Chromebook please? I tried all I know & nothing I know works. Please help me out.
Run the command, with the –dst flag. The specify the disk you want (not partition) from the command lsblk. Make sure you backup your system, as it will wipe your disk clean!
