I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on my Acer C7 chromebook. Once I installed it, I never switched back to Chrome OS. But yesterday when I got back home, I found that my laptop LED was on, and the Chrome OS was running. How can I go back to my Ubuntu 12.04? I usually had a screen that has a chrome logo on it every time I turn on my laptop, where I always pressed Ctrl+D to run Ubuntu, but this screen no longer appears when I boot.

The solution was ever easier than I could imagine. The first thing one should do is to enter developer mode, then log in as "Chronos" and enter:

sudo cgpt add -i 6 -P 5 -S 1 dev/sda
exit

... and reboot. This should make Ubuntu your default system. Special thanks to you mr Marc for your help!

  • I highly recommend, if you haven't already, reading my answer here and following it so your computer runs faster and more smoothly. Also, if you don't mind, give it an upvote so I can try to surpass the answers above as they are deprecated and dangerous for other users to follow on newer Chromebooks. – Amolith Jul 01 '17 at 02:16
