Play Store Enablement
The Play Store is enabled in both the builds but does not currently work. Don’t log issues therefore around this feature since I’ll be looking to review for the next build. It will ask you to apply a critical update if you click on the icon. This critical update will not work (nothing happens). I have released this for testers (and myself) to try to figure out the next steps to get this working properly.
Update 17/09/17: The Update Server is now available for OTA updates.
Hi. Just checked this build, still stuck on Chromium OS logo both on nvidia gtx670 and Intel® HD Graphics 530.
Having similar problem on my machine (http://www.toshiba.ca/productdetailpage.aspx?id=2147493541).
Hi,
Touchpad doesn’t work. I also can’t go to CLI (ctrl+alt+F2) to install it to hard drive.
Do you know when vanilla special build will be available?
Thanks.
Thats odd on the ctrl-alt-f2. I tested that before I released it!
Vanilla builds will be very soon, hopefully this week.
hey
my current version is
Version 58.0.3029.140
Platform 8872.79.2017_05_28_1448 (Developer Build – tonyd) developer-build x86-atb
when can i get this above build to my pc ? (update)
You need to either install it manually, or wait a few days until the update server is ready.
Ctrl-Alt-F2 work. But trackpad not working on macbook pro 2015
OK, thanks for confirming
The support for Android/Play Store should be enabled in the moment of building Chromium OS. The option USE=arc should be enabled otherwise the files corresponding to Android OS will not be part of the build. I checked your R60 version and it do not have the Android files. The simple rebuild with the arc option enabled should solve the problem of enable Android support.
Yes, please do this Arnoldthebat! It would be much appreciated by me and many other people.
Chromium OS will not boot on a Dell Precision M6400
None of the Chromium OS images will boot up on my Dell Precision M6400.
It just freezes on the Chromium splash/boot screen and stays there forever.
It has an nVidia Quadro FX2700 GPU, 4GB of DDR2 system RAM, a Core 2 Duo T9400 CPU
Hi again, last special build OK on Yoga 2 Pro but this one has lost touchscreen input
Same for me on both HP Spectre x360 and Asus Vivobook s550ca. But Special Build – R58-8872 was solid (and thank you, arnoldthebat!)
Any chance to get trackpad working on mbp?
You might have a better chance with the vanilla builds on that. Ill be releasing a version very soon hopefully
Hello Arnold! When will be online the server update?
Soon! I’m just very busy at the moment on several other projects.
What is the most compatable build for a Zotac HD ID11 running Nvidia Ion?
Unlikely this will work due to graphics. But feel free to try any of them and feedback.
I think SHA256 for the 32 bit version is different than the one you posted ( you have posted same for both).
Also, i need help. I’m a noob and i am stuck with 5 options in boot screen ( local image A B etc) and no solution i find online fixes it. I believe the usb is supposed to boot to a chromium logo screen.
I am using a Notion ink Cain ( baytrail hybrid).
Use the option A to boot. If it doesn’t boot after that, your device isn’t supported
Hello Arnold
with the version 58 was all fine but with this I’ve black screen and the Caps continue to bleeping!
Any solutions?
Likely a reduction in graphics support. Im working on a new variant to allow proper X support. This is taking time sadly.
And if i try to update from the server?
Unlikely to make much difference
I just updated to your latest build
There is a problem ,after restarting the system
It boots and restarts automatically
I am not able to access the system
Can u please help ?
My system -Dell Vostro 1015
Worked properly in ur previous version
Hey Arnold!
The CTRL+ALT+F2 command does not work on laptop(HP).
Also the when I click on PlayStore it says that install crucial update, Sign out and back in again. The keeps on coming everytime when I click on it,even after I have signed out and then signed in again. Please help.
Read the post detail. The play store is not working yet in these builds, and was released for testing.
hey
this build giving problems .. when I updated and restarted the system .. it boot ups .. but the mouse won’t work and after 30 seconds it shutdowns .. restarts back … this loop continues
what can I do?
Care to enable DRM for chrome? such an old classic problem but no solution yet. i wonder why?
unable to play netflix, amazon videos. any solution?
This is widevine, so Im not allowed due to licensing restrictions. You can enable it yourself with a bit of searching around the web.
one cloudready they said ill need to disable discrete graphics in favor of integrated graphics but this option isnt shown in my bios. can i do something?
No idea, sorry.
Hello sir! Excellent work. My problem is that my keyboard gets disabled when I sign out and I can’t sign in again without shutting down. Device – HP x360 13 inch
Also, I can’t run “shell” command in crosh. Is my developer mode enabled? (Camd64 R60 9592B special build)
What number of password of the chromium os ?
There isnt one. You need to set it yourself.
So, is there any chance the next build can add Nvidia drivers?
I have tried all the builds from January 2016 onwards, and none of them will boot on my laptop. They all stop at the white Chromium splash screen, I have tried the keycombos to get to a terminal, those will rarely work, and when I can get to a terminal it locks up immediately after showing the initial prompt.
I have found out that the halt, is caused because Chromium OS does not support Nvidia GPUs.
I want to move some of our older XP and Win8 laptops to chromiumOS. So I Installed the 32 bit R60 build (both the R60 and R62 64bit builds ended up corrupted for some reason) on a ByteSpeed M100b to test things out. It installs, but no track pad.
hej Arnold, I’m using the special build with a lot of pleasure for several months now. Very happy with it brings me already.
Can you give me an answer to the following questions:
When will be a new release of the special? Last update is created in august, so maybe a new version has some nice updates and fixes?
Do you have any luck yet on the play store?
thank you!
R62 is already out if you want to update to that. You will need to do it manually however since the update server is offline. R64 will be soon.
Do all the builds provide the option to switch to developer mode ? How do I switch to developer mode ? I want to install Linux apps on this build type…but I am not able to switch to developer mode….
Check the R69 build. Linux is enabled by default
Hi,
I am looking for the correct build to use for my old HP Compaq nx8200 laptop (32x pentium M – intel 915PM chipset – ATI RADEON X600 -PCI Express, 2 GB RAM): I have already tried the R60-sp, R58- vanilla / special, R57-vanilla and R55-vanilla; with these versions at boot the first “chromium” page appears followed by 5 minutes of “self-adjustment” of the system, then retry the boot .. endlessly.
Do you have any advice, on which build I can use?
Thanks
32 bit is no longer supported – sorry!
