unfortunately not. It is nowhere near powerful enough/well enough set up. It can run all video fine in the preview tool, but there is no sound. It is all very alpha. But that is what you get with an alpha :p

Hello Jeff!

I just started installation process on my chromebook - it is downloading *20130129*.tar.xz

Is it the actual one? (Bodhi 2.3.0, April 2013)?

Yours, Andrew

I realize that, I just wanted to provide a possible motivation to develop one. But I suppose there might not be enough demand to justify the time spent on it.

Cheers!

A suggestion: You know how Raspbian is available for the Raspberry Pi on pre-installed SD cards? Maybe you could raise a little cash for Bodhi by offering preinstalled SD cards for ARM Chromebooks? Just a thought.

Our ARM branch is based on pure debian. No SD card only install image for the chromebook to date, sorry.

Is ARM Bodhi Debian-sourced, or Ubuntu-sourced? I would prefer Debian. (I know Bodhi x86 is Ubuntu-derived.)

Also, is there a good way to boot from SD card? I would expect that debootstrap/chroot would be all you would need to get started. However, I am too green/inexperienced to do it myself.

Netflix does not/will not work on ARM Linux devices unless Netflix opts to support them (doubtful). The method we use for netflix on desktop systems uses Wine which does not work on ARM devices.

Hey Jeff,

Does Netflix work on this build by any chance? Also, thanks so much for your effort with this build. Once I get wifi up and running I'm sure it'll be my main OS :)

Hopefully - something I am going to be looking into (open to help as well). It will depend on how Chrome video server is handled I would imagine.

Could the GPU drivers, as binaries, in Chrome be ported to Bodhi's build?

You tube videos run fine via html5 in the browser. I haven't tried VLC yet - but this hardware should be more than powerful enough to do video playback via VLC.

Good stuff, thanks Jeff. I just want to ask you, g...

2012-12-18T11:07:16.473-06:00

Good stuff, thanks Jeff. I just want to ask you, gaming is not a big deal for me, too, but what about videos. Like movies or youtube in a browser? is it possible to run VLC?

Agreed. Honestly though if I ever used my netbook(...

2012-12-17T08:17:48.913-06:00

Agreed. Honestly though if I ever used my netbook(s) for gaming I'd be concerned - but I don't. E17 doesn't need 3D like most desktop to look great - so it really isn't a big deal IMO.

The device works great with the Bodhi image for listening to music, surfing the web and writing stuff for school.

2012-12-17T08:13:26.677-06:00

I assume that video acceleration is not working on Bodhi any more than it's working on other non-ChromeOS Linux versions on this hardware. If it became possible to get this hardware working completely with Linux, or maybe even with Android, this machine would be very tempting indeed.
