Back Into The Reservation

Nope, definitively, I don't have to take the my Chromebooks onto Developer Mode...
After a short test with Crouton, I got the little Chromebook Pro back onto the full Google domains.

Yeap, I have done it in order to try to customize the damn mouse cursor shape, basically, to get rid, or rather, to change the dreadful I-Beam onto the lovely Arrow, but, again, I wasn't able to do, and this time it was even harder, Chrome OS no longer has any resemblance of a Linux file system hierarchy, at least, not in the traditional way... That is, there is no longer a /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/default/ directory... Not that being there helped at all in the past...
Anyways, back onto plain vanilla Chrome OS, I hate the mess that running Developer Mode does, and I think it doesn't makes or gives any advantage, since I can't do what I want with the OS.
I know it is stupid, but I do want to have the mouse cursors the way I want them.

To Developer, Crouton and Beyond!

On Monday switched the Chromebook Pro to Developer Mode and today installed Linux via Crouton.
Used this options to make the install:

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r sid -t\ xfce,touch,chrome,extension,keyboard -e

But it failed because:

touch target is not supported on Debian.

So I finally used this install options:

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -r xenial\
-t xfce,touch,chrome,extension,keyboard -e 

The install itself it was breeze, I mean, there were no problems whatsoever, but it took something like 4 hours to download and install the whole shebang.

I'm currently running stuff on this new Crouton thing on the Chromebook Pro, to determine if I keep it or I nuke the whole thing and then disable Developer Mode to revert the whole thing and head back to the reservation.

Dropbox on ChromeOS

It turns out it is really simple... As in 1,2,3...
- Add new service
- Install new service
- Then select "File System for Dropbox", add you credentials, you are done.

Vacation Hardware 2019 (III)

Did not buy this one... I can't effing believe this can be so expensive... Obviously looking to get this to be used with my new Chromebook Pro...
But, get out of here... That's close as a half what the Chromebook Pro cost me.

(The Ultimate) Vacation Hardware 2019 (II)

Finally got my Chromebook Pro! This little monster of a laptop is quite amazing, thin and light as hell, and yet, sturdy.
Been looking for one like this for nearly a year, and, finally, got it!
