![]() Download the Google Chrome OS Virtual Machine Last week, Techcrunch reported rumors of the release of the Google Chrome OS. They stated that the info came from a reliable source, and indeed that source was reliable. Google had an event at their headquarters, and indeed provided new details and a demo of the Chrome OS. The Chromium Blog has some great videos that provide some additional information about Chrome OS as well. The Chromium OS source code is available for download (Chromium OS is the open- source version of Google Chrome OS), and you can compile and build it. It took some time, but I did manage to do this on my 6. Ubuntu 9. 0. 4 (Jaunty Jackalope) machine. I also managed to put together a Virtual. ![]() Google Chrome is a great browser, but sometimes it just starts acting odd. Then we are left with no choice but to re-install it to bring back order. Android on a Stick: How to install Android-x86 on a USB stick. Install Android 4.4 on a USB stick. あくまでも一部の機種ですが、Chromium OSを手元のノートPC15機種で動作検証してみた結果を公表させていただきました。. Box virtual appliance that is all ready to go. I built a torrent for it, so feel free to download it here: Download the Chromium OS Virtual. Box Appliance Torrent. Please continue to seed, as I’m sure there will be many people out there wanting to try it out. To use it, just start up Virtual. Box, click File and then Import. Navigate to the chromiumos. The virtual appliance will be imported into Virtual. Box and you should be good to go. I also included a txt file that more or less has the commands I used to build it. You may be able to run it as a script, although I haven’t confirmed that it will work. I guess you could say I more or less took “script- like notes” as I was building Chromium OS. If you hit Ctrl+Alt+T when you first log in, you’ll get a shell prompt. You can run “sudo su” (no quotes) to log in as root, and I’ve set the password to “password” (no quotes). If you use this machine for anything serious (although I doubt you would), be sure to change the password. You should be running Virtual. Box 3. 0. 1. 2, and when you import the virtual appliance everything should be configured properly. If you get an error that says “network not connected and offline login fail” when you try to log in, be sure that the virtual network adapter is set to Intel Pro/1. MT Desktop (8. 25. EM). If the network adapter is already properly configured but you are still seeing the error, try logging in with the user “chronos” with the password “password” (no quotes). This should log you in and bring up the chrome browser window. If you don’t see a Google Accounts login screen, try hitting the refresh button. That should bring up the Google Accounts login screen.

Once you log in with your Gmail account, it launches and you’ll see the Chromium interface open up to your Gmail. There is also a Google Calendar tab and a New Tab tab. The little chrome sphere appears in the upper left corner, but when you click on it you don’t get a menu as you see in some of the Chrome OS videos. Instead, you get a Google. As you can see, it looks very much like the Chrome OS screenshots that had surfaced last month. Of course, being that this is running on a virtual machine without any decent video drivers on the operating system, the resolution is quite low (8. Your dear old granddad may be the only one that actually finds it visually appealing at this resolution. Right now the most impressive thing is how fast this operating system loads. Of course, it should load fast because there really is hardly anything there. In any case, it is rather neat to see an early release in action. The fact that it actually works on a virtual machine is quite promising. Eventually as drivers for more hardware are incorporated into it, it should be possible to run it your own real hardware. I also found a VMWare virtual disk image on a Google Wave about the Chrome OS. You can download it here: Download the Chromium OS VMWare Virtual Disk Image. As of now, the link to the VMWare disk image is valid and the download works. Update: I just went into the Chrome OS Wave I found with the link to the VMWare disk image, and apparently the poor guy that posted that file to Amazon Web Services ran up a $3. Here’s the torrent of the same file posted up on Pirate Bay: Download the Chromium OS VMWare Virtual Disk Image Torrent. However, I haven’t tried using it, so I can’t confirm that it will run on VMWare without issue. Enjoy your Google Chrome OS virtual machines!
