How to install postmarketOS to Chromebook Internal Storage
- Boot with postmarketOS USB drive or SD card. Don't operate on mounted stateful, as this will cause unpredictable problems.
- Figure out partition scheme with
fdisk -l
. - Flash kernel to all Kernel partition, or figure out which slot (Chromebook uses A/B slot to provide seamless upgrading and rollback) is in use. That is
/dev/disk/by-partlabel/KERN-{A,B}
. - Flash boot to one of cros root partitons.
- Flash root to stateful partition
/dev/disk/by-partlabel/STATE
.
Hint: Put these 3 images into ROOT on sdcard or udisk to flash faster.
When virtual keyboard on Chromebook does not show up
Disable keyd, it provides a virtual keyboard device:
sudo rc-update del keyd boot
This breaks sleeping, and battery drains fast. Use this instead: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/stevia/-/blob/main/doc/phosh-osk-stevia.rst
Some OSK with selective HW keyboard filter is better.
