I can not say this enough but your are epic! Finally someone who’s smart enough to find a way to make things work without have to dismember your Chromebook, thank you man, I wish you the best

instead of windows 10, you could use somthing like tiny 7. tiny 7 is just windows 7 but without all the things that people dont need and now in 1.68GB. this is great for people who want windows on a chromebook but have little storage.

Thank you Dave for letting us know that it is basically not practical. ❤

Can external devices be connected? for example external hard drives inside the virtual machine? the files that we put on the external hard disk if we go to a PC with Windows normally without a virtual machine are there the downloaded files on the external hard disk that I put with the virtual machine?

To keep performance decent on a chromebook, I like to use this same process but I install Linux Lite instead of Windows 10. An operating system very similar to windows, and it's designed to give old/underpowered computers a new chance at life; so it runs perfectly on a chromebook! Compare that to windows 10 on a chromebook which can be a bit laggy and unstable

I get a operation not permitted message on the last step what should I do

[inesdestaubin]

Hi ! I got a problem, I follow all your steps but at the last one, it says "Unable to install, operation not permitted" what should I do ? Please help !

[shesssadolll]

whats the link or command for kvm? im confused when it comes to putting that part in

[blakewsmith]

At the final step i got the following error:
Unable to complete install: 'Unable to set XATTR trusted.libvirt.security.dac on Operation not permitted'

what would i do to fix that?

[Fjuron]

Would you mind telling us it's slow at the start of the video? :(
(Also, it did not work for me in the final step because master key not allowed)

[g_cracker]

😀 Can someone please help me? It gave me an error when I tried to finish the process in VM that said it wasn’t permitted. What do I do? 🤔

[mangotree]

It's become so simple since the last time you made a video like this

[dragonslayer]

I have tried this, but it doesn't work, it keeps saying that it's failing to fetch some archives, I did everything correctly up to this point, anything I can do?

[Saaiym.Jilani]

I need help for me it says "unable to complete install: 'unable to set XATTR trusted.libvirt.security.dac on Operation not permitted"

[The.Handsors]

Didn’t work for me said “unable to fetch some archives”

[iivyz]

mine keeps saying failed to fetch 404 when i put it in the teminal- any fixes?

[revvrido]

FIX for people getting:
"Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing"
OR
" kvm has no installation candidate"
or similar errors, try doing the following:

After installing Linux you need to make sure to update the linux files:
In the terminal type: sudo apt update

This will update a bunch files. It may ask you 'do you want to install or update files'. Choose 'Y' (yes) each time.

After that finishes, in terminal type: sudo apt install virt-manager

After doing the above I got the virtual manager to finally install. Hope this helps.
