I'm trying to install on chromebox (I/O version) and afater install procedure it goes to a blank screen. I previously installed on my first chromebox, which works fine, but on this second one, I tried the kxf3n script on Jay Lee's page (http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.com/2012/04/chrubuntu-1204-now-with-double-bits.html) and also the hnkxo script on http://williammcewan.blogspot.com/2012/07/installing-ubuntu-on-chromebook.html. They both end by going to a blank screen after reboot. I have to force power off, then repower takes me to chromeos.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384776719060245602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849709720667465506.post-29671108241403537782012-08-26T09:57:04.263-04:002012-08-26T09:57:04.263-04:00Installed on my Chromebox and works great so far. ...Installed on my Chromebox and works great so far.
