[CHROMEOS] HOW TO - Install Kodi on ChromeOS using Crouton - zachg - 2017-08-31 Crouton is a tool used to install linux inside of a Chromebook. More info here: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton Quote:xbmc was setup with crouton long ago, but it was never updated to kodi naming, and was basically broken. I have fixed it, and set it up to use the ppa for ubuntu releases. I've been working on it for a couple months, but it was just merged today and included in the newest release. Getting Started the directions for using crouton are located at the github page, but can be simplified as:
Developer Unlocking your chromebook is a chromebook specific process, details here THIS WILL POWERWASH YOUR CHROMEBOOK, SAVE ANYTHING THAT NEEDS SAVING Quote:Note that developer mode, in its default configuration, is completely insecure, so don't expect a password in your chroot to keep anyone from your data. crouton does support encrypting chroots, but the encryption is only as strong as the quality of your passphrase. Consider this your warning. Once your chromebook is unlocked, you can download the crouton file here: https://goo.gl/fd3zc <-- official link Then:
You're DONE! You can start kodi by typing 'sudo startkodi' from the shell You can switch back to ChromeOS by pressing CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + -> (right arrow in place of F2) If you exit kodi, it will close the chroot and return you to ChromeOS. MORE INFO You can find TONS more info, as well as actual descriptions of crouton's features on the github page. I've created a wiki page for kodi located here: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Kodi-Media-Center I'll update it with more info as i come up with it. Feel free to ask questions below MODS, does this qualify to be moved to the how-to forum? Also, is this something that could/should be covered in a blog post?
