Debian Hardware :: Acer C720 Chromebook - SSD Not Detected In Parted Magic
Jun 19, 2015
Parted Magic doesn't detect the SSD for some reason. I've been trying to install ANY form of Linux onto my chromebook, wiping the SSD first and then installing Linux to it. For the last few months actively trying to do so, all has failed. I decided to get an m.2 connector that plugins into a gpu slot to connect it to my desktop (the SSD is micro-sized...) and it fits perfectly, but when opening Parted Magic from a simple USB drive, all my devices show up except my SSD.
Previously, the installations of Linux onto my Chromebook have always failed with a "not enough memory" message, trying all solutions found online and responding to other's posts, they suggested me to do this since they can't see the problem either. I never knew a basic wipe on an SSD, and installation of Linux would be so difficult. Everyone online says "it's so easy even without crouton" and is plug-in-play essentially. No, it is not.

I just installed version 8.1 on my c720 and everything works out of the box except the track pad. I am new to Linux so I am lost on how to check for the correct drivers or any other solution.
I have heard that the newer kernel versions added built in support but I am not sure if changing that will cause compatibility problems with any other program that I install later.

I want to install Parted Magic on my USB drive from my GParted live Cd. I don't want to install any OS. I have tried the procedure on Parted Magic's site but it hasn't helped.
Note: I am mainly stuck at this step:
Quote:
In Linux, write the Syslinux MBR to the USB drive (this is not needed when you have already a bootable MBR on the USB drive). A copy of mbr.bin is included in the USB version of Parted Magic. It's located in boot/syslinux. Change directory to the root of the USB drive that the Parted Magic files were copied to, and use this command:
cat boot/syslinux/mbr.bin > /dev/sdx
This file is located in this place on my PC as taken from the GParted file manager address bar /media/Leopard/Users/Piyush/Desktop/untitled folder/pmagic-usb-4.8/boot
Ummm... Could anyone write a command for this?

What file system choices do I have for fedora 14, what is suggested and can parted magic provide that system?I am loading fedora on the second hard drive of my laptop with windows 7 and XP pro on the other hard drive and I will also be repartitioning and reformating the first hard drive because windows 7 is 64 bit and the xp is 32.

The problem is when I boot from the lubuntu CD & select Try Lubuntu or Install Lubuntu the computer hangs. Xubuntu 10.04 was aready installed & I could easily boot to it. I thought may be some partition table error is causing that issue & I deleted all the existing partitions with Parted Magic Cd in Console Mode.
NB: When I tried to boot to the Parted Magic graphical session the PC hanged then too.I am totally confused. Cant understand what is going wrong here. I am now left with a broken system.

Alright so I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer a wubi install of ubuntu to an actual partition using LVPM. I need to use unetbootin with parted magic mounted (not sure if that's the right term) to my hard disk rather than a bootable flash drive. So I set everything up, downloaded parted magic ISO, ran unetbootin and selected the file everything installed smoothly. I then restart my computer and unetbootin is indeed in the boot list but when I select it, it remains at a black screen. I left it at the black screen for about ten minutes and nothing happened. I've tried a few times and nothing.

I just bought a recently-released Toshiba CB35-B3340 Chromebook, and I'm trying to install Debian on it (I want to wipe out CrOS and give all harddrive space to Debian). However, I'm having problems booting from USB. When I press Ctrl+U at boot, the screen flashes back, the computer beeps, and I'm brought back to the same "OS Verification is Off" screen. If I press Ctrl+L to get to what is supposed to be the SeaBios screen, the computer beeps twice and nothing else happens.
I followed steps 1-4 and 8 of this guide: [URL] .... and I just downloaded the amd64 netinstall image from the Debian website and dd'd it to the USB stick.
I've tried two different USB sticks and successfully booted another computer from them, but neither work on the Chromebook. I've also tried both USB ports, since I've heard some Chromebooks can only boot from one, but to no avail.
I have looked into things like ChrUbuntu and crouton, but they look like they just set up a dual-boot or chroot system. I want neither of these, my goal being to have a normal Linux laptop at the end.

I am trying to setup a debian sid on my Chromebook (Asus C201 / Rockchip ARM).I've followed the howto here : URL.....Debootstrap ok, config ok, kernel repack ok... everything went fine until the first boot.When i boot from the sd card, nothing seem to happen. The screen stay black, no text appear.Back in chromeos, i check the syslog and the kernel did load successfully.
Code: Select allAug 29 16:10:32 armbox systemd[1]: Startup finished in 2.256s (kernel) + 1.798s (userspace) = 4.054s.
It seems after the kernel loads, nothing happen next.

I recently installed Debian Jessie on my Chromebook, and everything seems to be in order but the touchpad is not working.
I tried following the instructions in https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad. However the following command does not yield output:
Code: Select allegrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices
So the problem seems to be that the kernel is not detecting the presence of the touchpad. Is there anything I can do to resolve? My kernel version is 4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64

I've tried the script at [URL] .... modules.sh (via: [URL] .... , step 5) which works for some chromebook owners, but not for me.
Are there any other things I can try to get my trackpad working, or is it simply unsupported at this time? It works with chromeos + crouton, but I'd prefer to just have Debian.

I couldn't use it, but it was still being detected by hardinfo and when I typed up lsusb, it came up in the list of available devices. For some strange reason, Cheese couldn't use it, so I tried using luvcview instead, to find that the path /dev/video0 didn't exist. I changed the name of /dev/video1 to /dev/video0; thereupon, I could use my webcam with luvcview just fine, so I did a test call with Google Talk, and I could see myself fine, only it froze when I moved my screen. I did a second call, and a few seconds in, my image froze again, and my cam isn't being recognized by hardinfo or lsusb now.
Any suggestions? Is my issue hardware originated, or do you think it might have had something to do with the fact that I changed /dev/video0 to video 1?
Also, I'm on Natty Narwhal 11.04.
EDIT: This is what I'm getting when I type "lsusb":
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
My webcam used to be on Bus 005, so might there be a slight chance it's still being recognized?
EDIT 2: After doing "lsusb" several times I found that the webcam can be recognized on certain positions of the screen. Looks like my issue is hardware-related.

I bought a nice new Acer Athlon II x2 yesterday with the intention of using it as my main stable, every-day system. As it came pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, my plan was to dual-boot between W7 and an as-of-yet undecided 64-bit Linux OS (probably Slackware's 64-bit variant).
Anyway, it wouldn't connect to the Internet. Everything else seemed fine but this. Being too lazy to really look into it myself at the time, I called up Acer tech support and shared my problem. We did a ping test and she said the problem's with the ISP not the hardware, so I went there to find many of their customers seemed to be getting bad or no connection. Thinking that was likely my problem too, I left it at that.
Well today after work I decided to boot my Puppy Linux USB stick onto the machine to see if it's just W7 being Microsuck, and attempting to connect, Puppy couldn't find the correct module to load that would result in a new interface (network) being detected. Annoyed, I tried Puppy Linux on an old tower I'm currently working on for my parents (still working on that one btw for anyone who remembers me from last week) and it connected fine. I'm actually using that system as I type out this post. Running other Linux OSs on my new machine does the same thing (no connection). Going back to W7, I tried letting them do their diagnostic thing and it came up with this:

I have had this issue before, and fixed it by booting into Windows XP SP3 and pressing and holding the power button down until the computer shuts down. (e.g. "Unclean or "Illegal" or "Cold" boot.) Unfortunately, not having Windows XP SP3 on my system anymore, I have to do this in Ubuntu. I have tried several times, and it is clearly not working. I don't want to try too many times more for fear of damaging my ext4 file system.
I looked for this issue on Google and found only driver problems, not device problems. There is no Ethernet option in the BIOS, except for the Network Boot, which should always show the device whether its in use or not. Is it silly to ask if Windows in a VM in an unclean shutdown may solve the problem? The driver for the device is currently supported by the kernel out of the box:
Code:
Linux brokenbox 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
It uses/used the atl1c driver. It was working on the same install just about a day ago!

i recently moved from Ubuntu to Debian(squeeze).. i am very pleased with squeeze except for this bug..I have this python script i wrote to change my wallpaper (through Gconf), the script would be called by cron from time to time.The problem i am facing in Debian is that this script stopped working.I am exporting the $DISPLAY=:0 in Cron, (this is how it worked in Ubuntu)..the cron job i used is below:
-----------
* * * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /path/to/my/script.py
--------
so the above was not running...I redirected the output and this is what i got as error:
-------------
Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: /usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.)

I have slackware 13.1 installed on my desktop and I have all my hard drive dedicated to it. But now Im thinking about resizing my hard drive so that I can install windows so my brother can play games on it ( probly giving 50 Gigs to windows )I heard that parted ( located on slackware cd 1 ) is what I should use. So I was wondering if I need to backup any important files before doing the resizing? I would also appreciate it if someone could link an good tutorial for doing partition resizing .

I have a 10GB IDE disk that Parted says has a single 10GB partition (/dev/sdb1) which is mounted at /home. However, df and the Gnome file managers see it only as a 3GB partition. It was a 3GB partition when I was using Fedora 9 but the partition was resized to 10GB during the installation of Fedora 11.Can anyone suggest how to make df and Gnome see it as a 10GB partition?

I have 2 identical disks, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I have a raid-2 configuration (/dev/md0) on /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3 partitions. On top of /dev/md0, I am running LVM. There are also partitions sda4 and sdb4 following sda3 and sdb3 respectively but the data in there are not important. What I want to do is delete the sda4 and sdb4 partitions and extend sda3 and sdb3 to the end of disk, and grow the md0 and the volume group of course *without* loss of data.

I am trying to partition a 6TB volume using parted, but I am a bit confused with the syntax. From the (parted) prompt, I know I should use the command "mkpart primary <start> <end>". I guess that <start> should =0. How do I tell what <end> should be? I want it to fill the entire volume but I don't see how to tell what the exact number should be.
