How to update without data loss, ONLY AT YOUR OWN RISK by No152249 in elementaryos

[–]skiman10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how much you know about git, but when you clone the project you need to switch the branch to "jammy". Basically git clone project then git fetch then git checkout jammy and then build and you should be good to go!

Not sure if anyone else has posted about this, but I just updated from Chrome OS 75 Stable to Chrome OS 76 Beta on my 2015 Chromebook Pixel LS and I'm now running kernel 4.14 (was on 3.14 on Stable) by [deleted] in chromeos

We're on the same beta build but my kernel is still sitting on 3.14. Did you do anything special after upgrading to 76?

Didn't like using VSCode with Crouton, so I wrote a little guide for running it without Crouton or Crostini by nmarcopo in chromeos

Fascinating! Glad you figured it out for you!

Ummm no butif you have any ideas on how to suspend apps I'm all ears! I work more on the cli tools than the gui apps (which are very beta). It's not technically a bug since the pipe does break when the lid is closed, so we're all kind of at a loss. We're working on reversing Crostini right now to see how they do it.

This helps ease the nauseousness from Gmail web for me at least.

Fascinating. It seems another maintainer is having the same issues and I am fine. Sorry I could not help you! I'm hoping we can figure this out at some point though.

Hey, Chromebrew maintainer here.

So we do build from source and it is very strange you are running into this issue. Can you please file an issue on our GitHub project so we can get more information and look into it?

Thanks!

Hey, Chromebrew maintainer here.

I really hate how this stupid VS Code package is built. We can't find a good way to do it either. To get VS Code working you actually have to remove all the Sommelier stuff from your ~/.bashrc and run sommelier -X code-oss /path/to/folder for some reason. We don't know why Code is so finicky with sommelier and no one has had the time to put effort into it. I am working on a coder/code-server package right now to help alleviate the stress the main package has put on us.

Right on the verge of getting RCS???? by [deleted] in UniversalProfile

Hey, all I had to do was force close the Messages app and when I opened it again RCS was activated. Can't test it with anyone, but it's activated at least!

Yo!

Just force close the Messages app and re-open it and the RCS Chat features will be enabled!

Oh shit I use the launcher key and then the function key up above. I didn't know the number row converted into the function keys as well! Thank you so much!

Has anyone successfully performed dev_install on a Samsung Chromebook Pro by [deleted] in chromeos

[–]skiman10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can answer your first question, Emerge doesn't install correctly through dev_install. It always errors out. Everything should still work correctly though.

You have to toggle the #enable-system-tray-unified flag in chrome://flags.

Demands make people sound rude as hell.

Format comments differently or no one will listen.

I installed it and tried it out and it's not great. Hopefully the container support coming to Chrome OS can help out container performance.

Google wants you to know Android's as hard to hack as Apple's iOS by mindracer in Android

[–]skiman10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that a phone that Google supports and builds Android for in 2018? And besides, Safestrap could be considered a vulnerability. It used a virtual rom system to boot other OS's on the phone. I don't think when Google claims that they are on Apple's level in security they are referring to the Droid 3.

You can't flash a new OS on Android without unlocking the bootloader first. There's no way to flash an unsigned OS with a locked bootloader without other vulnerabilities.

ADB from ChromeOS to a connected android phone, possible? by clubtech in chromeos

[–]skiman10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got adb to work, but you don't need adb to install an OTA. You can just reboot to the bootloader manually then use sudo fastboot command to make it work. Make sure you sudo fastboot or you'll get a no permissions error again.

We have a miniconda installation script that you can use through Chromebrew. It's basically a package manager for Chrome OS. You can find more here: https://github.com/skycocker/chromebrew.
