Sgosnell, I re-ran "sudo startunity" with pretty much the same problem. There was no device connecting to the USB port. There was no external monitor connecting to the chromebook. Here are the steps that created the ubuntu unity desktop:
- download crouton from link on the webpage
https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton
- copy crouton to /sur/local/bin and set the chmod bits.
- bash> sudo sh /usr/local/bin/crouton -t extension,keyboard,audio,unity
- bash> sudo startunity
and the error log is below the dash line. Would you please look at the error again and let me know of any suggestion to try. I would very appreciate your help.
Best regards,
Andrew
