Virtual Terminal for Chromium OS/Google Chrome OS

By CoCaman

So I managed to get Chromium OS on a virtual machine running. Now I am playing around a little bit. I will document my progress here.

First thing, you need to get the virtual console. Do this by clicking CTRL + ALT + T. More commands are on this shortcut list.

Now you have a functional terminal/console.

  2. So… How do you get back to chrome OS after you get to your virtual terminal? I’ve tried F7 and that didn’t work…

    Thanks for the nice post,

      1. Hi CoCaman,

        Heya, thanks for the quick reply. I actually figured it out… It’s just like you are in a normal window manager. You just alt+tab, to cycle through the other windows. F12 gives you an overview showing all the windows that are open and F8 (as you stated above) will show you a nice overview of the keyboard shortcuts available to you.

        Can I ask why Chrome OS is not around anymore? Find some deal-breaker of a bug or something?

        Thanks again for the reply,

        1. hi Chrelad
          Thanks for the information.

          Well, I only used the VmWare image and it doesn’t feel right in there. And I have no device lying around I could install a full version of it. So for now I let Chromium be Chromium in its (pre-)alpha stage and try it later again.
