Ubuntu on an Acer Chromebook 14 CB3-431

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

This Chromebook was given to me, with Windows 10 on it, with a request for
me to wipe the internal storage (a 32GB MMC/SD card).

I did so, thoroughly. I don't know much about Chromebooks and, when this
one boots up, it displays an image of a rabbit.

I've tried installing Ubuntu Linux on it. The first attempt was from a USB
flash drive using Ventoy. The second attempt was directly from a USB flash
drive. On both occasions, the system stops booting on power-up and leaves
me at the (GRUB 2) command prompt.

I've looked at the GRUB 2 documentation (there is a lot of it!). Here is
some of the information I have gleaned from the GRUB 2 command prompt (">")

>ls
(proc) (hd0) (hd0,gpt2) (hd0,gpt1) (hd1) (hd2)

>ls (hd0,gpt2)
states the partition is ext*

>ls (hd0,gpt1)
states the partition is FAT

>ls (hd0,gpt2)/boot/
displays the contents of Ubuntu's /boot directory

Does anyone know how to get around this?

The system does boot from USB flash drive fine.

TIA,


Ian
