ChromeOS Flex USB can now be set up on Linux systems
Google has released ChromeOS Flex for PC and Mac. One very annoying decision Google made at the time was that the installer USB had to be set up using a Chromebook recovery utility that was incompatible with Linux distributions like Ubuntu and Linux Mint. Unless you have another system lying around, Linux users have to make do with writing ChromeOS Flex to USB.
It's unclear when, but since launch, Google has decided to allow people to download the installer image and write it to a USB using the dd command line utility on Linux devices. The command isn't very user friendly, but if you've successfully set up Linux you should be able to figure out how to write the image to a USB.
To get started, you can follow the instructions on the Google support page. Before you unzip the BIN file, you need to download the image as a ZIP, which is a large 6.9 GB file, so make sure your USB device is at least 8 GB. Once completed, you can proceed with the Google command listed in Step 4B. Be sure to update the command to point to the correct file (you can drag and drop the file into the terminal and the path will be entered automatically). You will also need to know the identifier of the USB, you can find this by selecting USB in Disk Utility, it should look like sdb and ignore any numbers after it, such as sdb1.

This operation requires writing 6.9 GB of data to USB, and Google provides a command that allows you to track this operation. When it's done, the command line will say this. Avoid the temptation to interrupt the process. It may look like it crashed but it didn't. Just wait patiently.
If you installed the now-available files onto your device, make sure you go to Settings to upgrade your operating system. The available image is ChromeOS Flex 107, but you can upgrade to version 112 after installing ChromeOS Flex. If you don't upgrade manually, the operating system will soon update itself.

Aug 15, 2024 am 07:30 AM

Solve the problem of garbled display of graphs and charts on Zabbix Chinese monitoring server
Jul 31, 2024 pm 02:10 PM
Zabbix's support for Chinese is not very good, but sometimes we still choose Chinese for management purposes. In the web interface monitored by Zabbix, the Chinese under the graphic icon will display small squares. This is incorrect and requires downloading fonts. For example, "Microsoft Yahei", "Microsoft Yahei.ttf" is named "msyh.ttf", upload the downloaded font to /zabbix/fonts/fonts and modify the two characters in the /zabbix/include/defines.inc.php file at define('ZBX_GRAPH_FONT_NAME','DejaVuSans');define('ZBX_FONT_NAME'

toss! Running DOS on Raspberry Pi
Jul 19, 2024 pm 05:23 PM
Different CPU architectures mean that running DOS on the Raspberry Pi is not easy, but it is not much trouble. FreeDOS may be familiar to everyone. It is a complete, free and well-compatible operating system for DOS. It can run some older DOS games or commercial software, and can also develop embedded applications. As long as the program can run on MS-DOS, it can run on FreeDOS. As the initiator and project coordinator of FreeDOS, many users will ask me questions as an insider. The question I get asked most often is: "Can FreeDOS run on a Raspberry Pi?" This question is not surprising. After all, Linux runs very well on the Raspberry Pi
