Hi can you help me? wanna put antiX on chrombook

[Member meleeman]

I’ve been an ubuntu user for a long ass time, and then they introduced snap packages and It kinda pissed me off that they did that so I started looking for systemd alternatives and found this one. but so far i’ve yet to be able to install antix on my Chromebook. i managed to get it Seabiosed and I can confirm it’s UEFI only. I followed the installation and partitioning process to the best of my ability from the youtube video provided and I noticed something wierd after i partitioned it. the live OS started displaying windows related to the ext4 partition and fat32 partition, and I paid no attention to it and continued to install. I wonder now if that was the problem. after which i had checked install alongside other OS’s and it said it installed Grub, after which I rebooted without the medium and I couldn’t boot it. Seabios gave me the default shell when there are no operating systems to boot.

First thing is to make sure your download of antiX md5sum was correct.
Also which version did you download and from what source.
You could also use gparted to re-partition prior to install.

Did you run it from live-cd or usb?
If your live version has the correct md5sum,
then would you please restart live and post
from terminal

Rokytnji is certainly the right person for you, but have not seen him here for a few days now.
Did you find his thread ?

i ran the installer from USB, i have an Acer 14 for work with 64bit skylake cpu. my md5checksum is 20c7bc08536c9447d0b77611bfe18868 i have Antix-17.1_x64-full.iso i think thats incorrect unless the hash on the website is reffering to a different hash.

site/file md5 = 20c7bc08536c9447d0b77611bfe18868 antiX-17.1_x64-full.iso
yours = 20c7bc08536c9447d0b77611bfe18868 Antix-17.1_x64-full.iso

Looks OK to me. What’s the problem?

Unfortunately, if your disk that you want to install to has a filesystem on it that Linux recognizes, it gets auto mounted, & you can’t install to it, that’s what’s happened.

Go to the Control Panel > Disks > Auto Mounting & uncheck it – then go back & run the installer, it should now install OK.
