I did it. You knew I would eventually. Ubuntu is now installed on my CR-48. Bluetooth works, wifi works, touchpad works but not the multi-touch way that it worked under chromeOS and scroll doesn’t work either. In all it runs quite well considering. There is a problem with space on the SSD. Ubuntu is installed in a 6Gb partition and that doesn’t leave much room for music and pics etc. Much more useful now than the default ChromeOS.

Did you ever discover a way to restore bluetooth after it is lost on power down from ubuntu? I could not get it back, ever… yes it worked the first time. I really want to use a bluetooth mouse i have for minecraft when i’m booted in ubuntu…
Jakob: I did not have this problem. I ended up letting my step daughter use this laptop and got myself a real laptop and I have not heard of her having this issue either.
