I am completely new to Linux and Ubuntu and tried to install Ubuntu on my Asus C300 Chromebook following a guide. When I am in crosh having typed "shell" and then type

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce 

I get the following message:

sh: Can't open /home/chronos/user/Downloads/crouton

What should I do in order to continue the installation and get it working on my chromebook?

It seems you have not downloaded the correct package. What you have is a folder called crouton and what you need is a script-file named crouton.

You should change the name of the existing crouton folder or move it to a diferent directory before going further as you won't be able to have two items named crouton in the same ~/Downloads folder.

After you have renamed the crouton folder, download the crouton script file from here (make sure to download it to your ~/Downloads folder):

source:

Then, run those commands:

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton -t xfce

and be patient and "answer the prompts like a good person" . . .

Now, you can go straight into xfce by using the following command:

sudo enter-chroot startxfce4

or, you can run it as a "special shortcut" with this instead:

sudo startxfce4
