It’s been many weeks now I’m trying to get Linux installed on my Acer Chromebook 315 3h (BLORB).
After solving the many issues along the journey, I was able to try 2 distros Live but I could not complete the installation:
Linux Mint 22.1
At the very end I got “unable to install GRUB”
Zorin OS 17.3 lite
many issues in the Live, sometimes I could at least browse but in general by every input: trying running an app, using shortcut keys, even to poweroff! I was getting:
“error with the Input/Output”
So now after one month I’m thinking about another solution but first I want to know some experts thought about my bad experience.
Once again, I’m unlucky: the Chromebook doesn’t work at all while the battery is disconnected (from the mainboard).
The only sign of life:
When connecting the ac charger the warning light gives an error sign (5 blinks and then off).
The screen similarly blinks as if trying to start but I guess it doesn’t get enough power.
I just wonder how I can remove the Write Protection else.
Should I first remove the RW Legacy Firmware? How?
