Stop "OS Verification is off" warning from appearing

[cooL dealios]

I have a friend who has recently modded their chromebook with Ubuntu, but they pressed space to powerwash the system and turn verification back on. Is there any way to remove the warning?

You are able to set some bios flags to shorten the dev mode screen, as well as make legacy boot default, among other things.

The other option is to load Ubuntu onto a SD card or USB drive. This prevents the Ubuntu system from being deleted when the system is wiped. This works with Crouton, but not with Crubuntu. There are instructions on moving crouton chroots to alternate paths on their github page.

Theoretically you could do the same with Crubuntu, but you would define the boot partition as the external storage. I'm not sure what would happen if you attempted to boot without the drive present.
