DKMS missing on Kubuntu netbook / Virtualbox not working

[KubuntuTrouble]

Ok, run parted again and then these commands (after coffee,of course )

mkpart primary 15997 16014
p

Then note what the number is of the new partition (I suspect 13). Enter this command using the correct number:

set 13 bios_grub on
q

The last q there will cause parted to quit. Then do:

sudo partprobe
sudo grub-install /dev/sda

We might run into a problem if the remaining free space is too small. Let me know what happens.

Goood Morning!

Okay, so set 13 bios_grub on
q gives "Information: you may need to update etc/fstab."

Have you tried rebooting yet?

Have you tried rebooting yet?

Unfortunately, yes. I got the usual Chrome OS is missing warning, I Cntrl+D it, and now an error message claiming my Chrome OS is corrupt, telling me to download an new image. because of this, I can`t access Kubuntu OR the terminal, not even the build in one.... I have already tried taking my chromebook apart, and getting the SSD out, but it is an connector I have not yet seen before, and I also don`t have the tools to connect this kind of harddrive..

I think I am going to try to put an Chrome OS image on it, and once I get to the build in Chrome OS terminal, try to use this command: sudo cgpt add -i 6 -P 5 -S 1 /dev/sda I hope that will get my Chromebook back to booting Kubuntu...

Bummer. Can you boot to USB?

Nope, I have been struggling with that from the begining, the only option was to install ChrUbuntu, and then Install the KDE desktop. If I could boot from usb I think I would have gone for Linux mint KDE.

but, I think the cause is lost. In the Chrome Terminal, df -h says that my ssd has been repartitioned, and there are just 3 dev/sda`s left, and these are all emty, so all my linux files are gone... even the back-ups I had made ready for transferring.



DAMN!

As close as I came to putting it on ebay, I decided I`m gonna give it another shot. I`ll put ubuntu on it and then switch to a fresh install of Kubuntu. after that i`ll retrace all the steps from this forum so I am back where I was before, and hope this time it won`t crash.

This is going to seem really odd but, Johann is dit jy? Your join date, location and everything makes me think you are my brother but can't be sure.
