0phoi5 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks for getting in touch haze, it worked! :D I followed the tutorial in the link you provided to install crouton on my usb then I installed kali sana using sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r sana -t xfce liked you said, then it worked! I'm still playing around with it but it seems to be working fine. Also my pineapple nano arrived today so I can fart around with that as well :) Thanks again! You're more than welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legendary_ Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 dreaming with one full kali linux flashdrive ready for chromebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendary_ Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Job done. First i want to say: citruspi, i'm thank you for the share. Prerequisites• Samsung ARM Series 3 Chromebook (Dev ModeEnabled!)• Another computer (to write the disk image)• 8+ GB USB Drive or SD Card1Download & Write Download Kali Linux for the Chromebook from https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-arm-images/and extract the .img file from the gunzip archive.I opted to use Win32 Disk Imager to write the imageto my flash drive. It can also be used to write theimage to an SD Card. Modify Plug your flash drive (USB 2.0 port) or SD card intothe Chromebook. Open the shell through theCROSH :1. Control + Alt + T2. Type in shell and press return List the devices: $ lsblk | grep disk If you have a flash drive, you should see sda . If youhave an SD Card, it should be mmcblk1 .Depending on what you use, there are a different setof instructions below. Flash Drive$ sudo cgpt repair /dev/das # Now, we set the priority of the boot partitions. $ sudo cgpt add -i 1 -T 5 -P 5 -l KERN-A /dev/das$ sudo cgpt add -i 2 -T 5 -P 10 -l KERN-B /dev/sdaThen, we enable cross system booting: $ sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 SD Card $ sudo cgpt repair /dev/mmcblk1Now, we set the priority of the boot partitions. $ sudo cgpt add -i 1 -T 5 -P 10 -l KERN-A /dev/mmcblk1$ sudo cgpt add -i 2 -T 5 -P 5 -l KERN-B /dev/mmcblk1Then, we enable cross system booting: $ sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 Wrap UpWhen you see the OS Verification is Off screen onboot up, press Control + U to boot into Kali Linuxor Control + D to boot into Chrome OS (but youalready knew that, right?).Login withusername passwordroot toorYou can use startx to launch the GUI. I tested with SD and it worked for me. Credits for @citruspi bibliography: https://citruspi.io/kali-on-chromebook/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I find the SD card sticking out the side to be far too fragile, so I went with Gentoo on a USB stick. My issue with ArchLinux was that their kernel was built without the option that allowed it to assume the USB drive stayed put across a resume (on sleep the USB bus is effectively cleared of devices and on resume it gets rescanned and devices are added accordingly - without that kernel config option the kernel would assume that USB disk to not be the one that was there at the moment of sleep). Do you know how Kali fares in that regard? I realize you're booting off of SD, but could you run this: zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_USB_DEFAULT_PERSIST I'm hoping that it will say that config option was 'y', otherwise using a USB stick won't work with Kali either.

☮☭ Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I am using kali on a Toshiba Netbook ND200 - 2gb ram // 1.60ghz ATOM processor // 32-bit I only paid £30 for the netbook so its a great portable addition to my collection. kali runs pretty well for most basic functions although if i have to push it i use my desktop.

nycjay01 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hi I had a really hard time getting kali to work. Not sure if this is the right way (Im sure there's better) but it works and I can even install virtual box on my kali usb set up to run windows 10 on my acer chrombook. I used this bios upgrade: https://johnlewis.ie/alls-well-that-braswell/ It will enable you to chose a usb drive for booting (you have to have a live usb running kali) When you choose your usb you should see the usual kali linux live install screen. proceed as usual. I have not figured out how to keep my changes also (and I might be doing this wrong) since the usb is an image file I dont know how to use the rest of my usb for storage so if you start installing you will run out of space even if you have a large usb drive I think it will go back to the acers HD I only have a 32gb so space added up quick after windows 10 VM.

Dheeraj Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Simply start by making your kali linu USB Bootable. For that you will need 1. Win32 disk manager. 2. A USB with minimum 4GB storage. After that you can easily convert your USB to Bootable Linux USB Now Follow the steps in this link to make Kali Linux USB https://youprogrammer.com/install-kali-linux-usb/ After successfully installing Linux in USB you can enjoy it until you format it. After formatting, follow the above steps again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
