Acer Spin 11 R751TN-C5P3 with Chrome OS 68 missing Linux apps beta support

[Eric Nichols]

My Acer Spin 11 R751TN-C5P3 Alan reef with Chrome OS 68 stable channel is missing Linux apps beta support. Everything I read online suggests that it should be available. What gives?

[Mike Frysinger]

we aren't enabling it for R68

Consider trying the dev channel, it may have broader support as the list of supported devices grows based on contributions of ppl like us.

My Asus Flip (arm64/bob) was supported on r69, currently in beta, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the device list is a bit more locked down in beta.

$0.02, Google folks can certainly give more authoritative answers.

I was under the impression that 69 had the linux support for my model but it is not available even though it was released 2 days ago? I tried a powerwash to no avail. Attached is my update engine log.

Well I updated to Beta channel which is 69. I guess the release announcements of 69 in stable from a few days ago are not accurate. The internet is full of official looking google announcements that 69 is in stable. What a waste of our time. Jeez. Thanks for the tip.

off the top of my head, the only official CrOS announcements are the Google blogs:

  https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/

as that post says, just because we start promoting a version to stable does not mean it immediately goes to all devices right away.  we do gradual rollouts to track crashes/regressions.

Eric,

Like mentioned, an update doesn't immediately go out to all devices.

Check out this cros-updates site for your Chromebook listing, yours is Codename 'reef' -

• https://cros-updates-serving.appspot.com/#reef

You can see that the 'reef' devices are currently a 'major version older' so the update hasn't landed on them yet.

That site is updated often with current data so it's a good one to watch.
