[Q] Chromebook installed Ubuntu: Keys not working or Touch Pad - Chromebooks

Hi All,
I used crouton to install Ubuntu XFCE yesterday (I'm on Acer Chromebook 11 CB3-111). After install, it ran fine, but no Keys or Touch pad work. I can use a usb mouse to move around, thats it.
I do see the Track-Pad Fix in this forum, so I will try that. But is there anyway to get the Keys corrected?
Also when do the Track-Pad fix, do I do this from CMD line while inside Ubuntu, or do I do this from Crouton also?

[Q] I used Heimdall for a phone and accidentall replaced Win8 Touch Driver. Help?

As the title says. I used Heimdall, and then Zadiag, listed all devices. It defaulted to touchscreen and I accidentally hit install driver, which replaced my Windows 8.1 Touchscreen Driver. My touchscreen no longer works, and I cannot figure out how to fix it. Zadiag does not have an uninstall option. Any recommendations?
I have an Acer Aspire V7-582PG.
Seems like Synaptics touchpad isn't working either. I did install the drivers from the Acer website but they either fail or exit before even starting.

I did the same mistake too. I'm running windows 10 on Dell inspiron 7548. Any suggesstions to get the touch screen activated ?

Got is resolved by following the below steps:
1. Used the zadig.exe to replace my touchscreen driver with libusbk. [This is just to easily identify it in the device manager list. Not needed if you can identify it yourself]
2. Open Device Manager and find the LibusbK option in the list.
3. It should display Touchscreen under it. Select and Disable it.
4. Now select "Uninstall Driver". [It is important to Disable it before Uninstalling]
5. Go to Action menu from the top and select - "Scan for Hardware changes". This will auto detect the Touchscreen and use the actual driver for it.
6. After a refresh, the Touchscreen option should be displayed under the Human Interface Devices list as - HID Compliant Touchscreen.
At this point, your touchscreen should be working. Mine did. Cheers ! :good:

[Q] How do I get touchscreen working on framebuffer chroot linux?

Hi, iv'e been tinkering around lately with my Galaxy S II involving installing linux on a chroot environment along with framebuffer for X output. But there is one problem: Touchscreen does not work. Tried xserver-xorg-input-mtrack & multitouch but wasn't too practical. Then came across mtev, a hackjob of a driver. When I went ahead and install it. Along with its config file. It didn't work, didn't receive any inputs whatsoever. So I need help touch running using mtev as my driver.

Acer C720P - Remix OS - Wildly impressed.

First the issues. I was not able to figure out how to set it up to where I can install Remix OS on my chromebook's SSD instead of having to use a USB stick. I also wasn't able to figure out why running the ISO installer tool that comes with the most recent download (yesterday) didn't work. I used it on a 32GB PNY USB flash drive, but after going into the legacy boot menu on my Chromebook, and selecting my USB stick to boot from, it was not able to find an operating system. Instead, I used Linux Live USB Creator (LiLi). I manually selected the Remix OS ISO that came with the download, and installed it to my USB stick. My chromebook recognized it immediately as a bootable OS. It even gave me the options for guest mode, and write mode. I chose write mode. The only downside to this is not being able to choose how large the partitions should be. Either way, it installed successfully.
The awesome parts. It recognized and works uniformly with my chromebook's touch screen and touch pad. Zero issues. It even recognizes some touch-pad short cuts like two-finger scrolling, etc. It doesn't recognize some of my keys on the keyboard itself, like volume up/down, and brightness up/down, but this is easily managed at the task bar. I also tested Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes to see if games would be sluggish running on a USB stick. I don't know about all games, but that one in particular ran as though it was on my Nexus 7. Super smoothly, with no issues. Aside from it being a bit sluggish running apps for the first time, (it frequently asked if I wanted to wait, or to force close Facebook and others - hitting wait works), I am very impressed with the experience. It's everything I could hope for in a beta android desktop OS! :good: :good:
PS, I'm actually running it right now as I type this.
I got it to install on my Acer R14 with a triple boot, windows 10, ubuntu, remix os. If you use universal usb installer and install directly to a NTFS partition on your hard drive you can use RMXtools to make the data .img whatever size you want. I did it for 50GB and have installed alot of apps and i still have 48GB left. I really like this OS.
Well I tried ubuntu on my chromebook for a while, but wasn't feeling it. I would have to put it on in order to install Remix OS to a hard drive no?
No just use universal usb installer and select non-linux installation and install directly to your ntfs drive. The expand the data file with RMXTools to whatever size you want.

Is it possible to boot a linux live usb and install remix os on the ssd with Gnome disks?
There has got to be some variation in components with revisions of the C720P, because no OS I have tried to boot on mine has supported the mouse other than Gallium. If I install the GalliumOS kernel on Debian it works fine, but no idea how I would do that with Android. Your touchpad really just worked huh? Not for me, not in the version of RemixOS I downloaded from the Jide site last night, nor in the hacked edition or whatever it's called here on XDA.
My laptop Asus X8AIJ very old since 2005.....
settup on HDD,,,non USB
Win10 64bit + Remix os 2.0.0.205 with rooted ,,,,very good...but i can not settup display for as well

Remix OS (for PC) boot problems...

I have tried creating a USB RAM-drive, and booting RemixOS (for PC/64) from it on my Cherry Trail (Teclast X16 Power) tablet. It gets to the screen that says "System initializing, please wait...". but never gets past that.
As mentioned, my Teclast X16 tablet is an Intel "Cherry Trail" (Z8700) dual-boot device, that can boot into either Android 5.1 or Windows10. Unfortunately the Android build that comes with it is not very good. (IE: Though the tablet has a GPS sensor, it doesn't work in Android. There are also a few other oddities about the Teclast Android build.)
It is possible that RemixOS is trying to make use of the Android data partition that is on the tablet's internal SSD (instead of using the USB RAM-Drive that RemixOS is on), and being that it already has data on it from the Android OS that came installed on the tablet, maybe it causes problems during boot.
I wanted to just try out RemixOS on this device. A few of the things that I really want to know is...
- Will the tablet touch screen work with RemixOS, or would I have to always use a mouse & keyboard?
- Will the GPS sensor work with RemixOS?
I was also looking to see if there was a way that I could boot RemixOS (for PC) in a VirtualBox VM, but I have not had any success getting that to work. Has anyone been able to run it in a VM successfully?
Hey mediawiz any luck with that?
I just got my hands on a Pipo W1S (x5 z8300 Cherry Trail) and tried a couple of times to boot up Remix OS from a thumb drive with no luck so far.
