Re: Arch on a Samsung Series 5 550 Chromebook

Trying this as described in the instructions... I get:

# cgpt add -i 1 -b 128 -s 18874368 -t data -l arch zero_file.bin
ERROR: cgpt add: At least one parameter is not allowed:
ERROR: cgpt add: -i 1 -l arch -b 128 -s 18874368 -t EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7

with my LINBYTES added in, of course.  Any ideas?

Re: Arch on a Samsung Series 5 550 Chromebook

i am curious about how arch is performing on the samsung chromebook.  for those of you running it...

how does the performance feel while web browsing (youtube video at 720p, etc).

any features not working (web cam, bluetooth, etc).

what desktop environment are you using?

how about hd video on vlc or similar? playing music?

thanks,
jvc

It worked well enough; 720P would play.  Everything worked except the suspend issue I mentioned; which I fixed later.
I sold it and bought its big brother, a Samsung Series 9. I love it.
