![]() ![]() But I can surely attest to that it is possible to do. There are some guides you can follow, but for most parts, you are simply left on your own to troubleshoot any problems that may arise.Įventually, I stopped doing it this way because of all the constant recompiles and disk space limitations and just downloaded an RDC web app to connect to a remote windows desktop instead. I guess you could cross compile from a desktop or server, and possibly just the needed modules, but the only way I got it working was to do this directly from my 16 GB hard drive Chromebook. Every time your chromebook updates, you will need to recompile pretty much the entire kernel (the first time, this will take hours, but subsequent builds often takes shorter), using the exact same git revision as the upstream kernel (or else the signature will not match, and the modules won't load). Most Chromebooks (especially cheaper or older devices) don't have this much available disk space to begin with.Īnd trust me, you will want to keep your kernel source code checked out at all time, as you will need to recompile your kernel OFTEN. VBox, the actual VM image and your kernel source code will likely sit at a minimum of 15-16 GB of hard drive space at a minimum. The biggest concern with this approach was disk space. And most images were simply to large to fit on my Chromebook. I could never get USB forwarding to work, no matter what. Download and Install VMware First up, you need a copy of VMware Workstation Player. Previously, there was also a Chrome OS VirtualBox image, but this is no longer available. ![]() I did this and successfully ran one of Microsofts own free Windows-images for VirtualBox (used for testing IE Browsers) on my Chromebook. Neverware CloudReady currently offers a free Chrome OS virtual machine application image for VMware. If you unlock your Chrome OS device, enters developer mode and installs crouton (Warning, it will void most security features) you can build your own kernel modules for VBox for your specific Chrome OS kernel. ![]()
