Running Linux on a Chromebook

 

If you can open and run FLDIGI, but you can't select sound cards or transmit, you may need to add your username to the dialout group.?
?
Open a terminal and type:
?
sudo adduser fkatalenas dialout
?
Reboot or log out and log back in, and then you should be able to use FLDIGI. I just helped some guys get their Chromebooks running Debian to work with fldigi and js8call this way.?
?
For anyone else reading this in the future, change fkatalenas to your user name in the sudo command above.?

Or, just...

sudo adduser $USER dialout.

The system variable $USER contains the logged in username.

As you will see, with...

echo $USER

Drew,
?
just in order to be sure to understand: when you say "Chromebook running Debian" you mean a Chromebook where ChromeOS was wiped out and Debian installed as a single boot OS? Are there any way to install Debian (or another distro) without cleaning the machine before?
?
and, following question, anyone installed a distro on a Chromebook Lenovo CT X636F (AKA Lenovo Duet)?
?
Roberto
 

Thank you for teaching me that, Dave!
?
Roberto: their Chromebooks were wiped of the native operating system before installing Linux. That's all I know.?

Regarding this topic in general - I've obtained several Chromebooks and Chromeboxes via eBay that have had Chrome wiped and UEFI boot installed.?? That makes is very easy to install UEFI supported versions of Linux.? In my case,? Mint Cinnamon.
