Hi there,

I am kind of new to Ubuntu in Chromebook so, please allow me to ask some help here. :-)

I just followed the installation instruction in the README.md to have an Ubuntu with only
guest login option. (Acer C-720). In the script, I could not find any option to set up user account with root authentication. You know, I have only little things to do with my guest account in Ubuntu. OMG...

would you please help me out how I can create an account in Ubuntu with the current installation script here?

Best wishes and thanks for your help in advance.

IIRC: When you install Ubuntu using the script and reboot into Ubuntu (Ctrl+L) you should have been greeted with a system config dialog asking you to enter all required info [Timezone, login, keyboard etc].

If you never saw that or are getting the default Chrome login, something went wrong.

Hope this helps.

I appreciate ur feedback. Yes something went wrong surely given that i dont have the sys config dialog.

Let me give it a try again.

In the mean time, i found that the partition that i have allocated for chubuntu won't go back to the original setting even if i get back to the original setting (i.e. sys os verification on). Would you please let me know how i can make it into the original factory setting of chromebook?

Always thank you for your help and look-forward your feedback.

Euc

To restore your cb to factory see here https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1080595

Once you'd installed Ubuntu and rebooted into it again you should have seen something like the section titled "Phase 3. End-user configuration/"installation"" in this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/36671/how-do-i-pre-install-ubuntu-for-someone-oem-install

If not you may want to take a look at the log folder in the directory where you ran the installer script (main.sh).
