I'd like to install a Windows virtual machine on one of my Chrome OS devices, ideally my Google Pixel Slate tablet, as it's quite powerful and is not being used. Is it possible to run a Windows VM on a Pixel Slate tablet? If so, which virtualization platform should I use?
I also have a Lenovo ThinkPad X230 on which I've installed Chrome OS Flex. It's a bit slow, but is also an option. As a last resort, I could also use my ThinkPad Carbon X1, which is running Chrome OS Flex, but I'd rather not, as it's my main computer. It's my understanding that Chrome OS Flex does not currently support Windows virtual machines, although Google is planning this for the future.
I'm running macos sierra and for some reason I can't get the following to work on sierra.
I want to ssh in to my macos machine from a linux desktop, export my display back, and run either chrome or safari on my linux display.
I have xquartz installed and sshd_config set up correctly. I successfully get a DISPLAY variable set which proves xauth is working, however, when I launch Chrome or Safari it is displayed on the macos desktop.
I've had this working on every version of macos until sierra.
Thanks for any help
You don't need to have xquartz installed for this direction of X forwarding. What you need however are applications that use the X protocol for displaying themselves. Your Mac's Chrome or Safari do not use it.
Mac does not use X server, and has its own API for dealing with windows and rendering on screen. Most applications you have installed (including Chrome and Safari) are using this API and know nothing about X11 and will ignore the DISPLAY variable. Only some special applications (typically those ported from Linux) use X11 on Mac and those render using xqartz (for example xterm or inkscape). Those are the only applications for which you can use X forwarding from Mac to Linux.
I doubt there is a working build of Chrome/Chromium for Mac that uses X11 and I am certain there is not one of Safari. I would recommend using VNC to get remote desktop from Mac to Linux.

According this tutorial, I should remove all HDDs I do not want to install chromium OS to during install. I wanted to try this guide on my imac using an external SSD for chromeos. Obviously, removing the HDD isn't an option. Will the chromiumOS installer format my mac drive too, if I don't remove it?
AS the writer of that tutorial I can hopefully help you. When you install Chromium OS to begin with you can specify where to install to if you know your unix commands well enough. and then from there you can update to Chrome OS once you have your external working for you.
To find out what your hard drive is when connected, open a terminal (you may need to use a developer terminal) and use the command "fdisk -l" This will list your hard drives. for example /dev/sda1 etc...
Your install command would be "Install /Dev/sda1" but replace the dev part with whatever your hard drive was listed as. If you need further help email me at admin#xiaorishu.co.uk
So I have Ubuntu 14.04 Installed on my system with a few "tweaks", mainly ccsm. I also have google chromium browser installed as well. I do a lot of work in the browser and usually have 10+ tabs open in my system.
I also like to use the multi-window (Workspace) and have 8 Workspaces (thus one of the reasons for ccsm).
Once I leave the computer and try to come back (before the screen locks), the computer is COMPLETELY frozen with my HDD running at very high speeds. I have a system monitor that monitors the CPU activity and HD activity and right before those things freezes, my RAM is at 100% and so is my HDD.
I'm wondering if anyone can help me FIGURE OUT what the problem is? I've been using ubuntu since '08 so I'm familiar with it. I just don't know where to start!
HELP!
I can not deal with the problem until I install the following packages as follows
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-quantal
You could get the detailed reason from http://www.howtoeverything.net/linux/hardware/random-freezes-integrated-hd-4000-graphics
Maybe you have to consider the Google Chrome or Chromium, whose two or more different Flash plugins conflict with each other, and the freeze problem disappear after you Disable the Flash plugins in the webpage opened by inputting
chrome://plugins
in the URL address of Chrome
Or another useful method of changing the chrome plugins is to uninstall the google-chrome completely,and then install the current chrome with newest flash plugin.
After all the above are done, the system need restart.
Hope it can help. Good luck!
Trying to create a virtual machine using VMPlayer, I discovered that as the Chrome OS is now a Release Candidate, it is only available here: http://www.getchrome.eu/download.php
However, there is no .vmdk download but "Live CD" and "USB Disk Image". I've downloaded the "Live CD", but the VMPlayer couldn't create a new machine. Ive tried several samples from the internet, using the following methods:
Create it as Ubuntu.
Create it as a 2.6.x kernel.
Create a blank VM and point the HD to the .iso file.
I keep getting" "Failed to mount RW root filesystem" and then there's a 120 seconds suspension before a reboot (which causes the same error). The screen shot of the log (Alt+F3):
What am I missing?
In the link you've shared there is no .vmdk (and I couldn't find it around the web). So if I were in your shoes I would go to: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-guide#TOC-Building-Chromium-OS
and try to built it with the spec (cpu, mem etc') that you have on the VMPlayer.
Another option is to try and install a built that someone did: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/chrome-os-google-vmware-download,9124.html
Good luck.
You can try Chrome OS by deploying ready-to-use Chrome OS VMs by hexxeh.
