Hi, just as info for all that would like to use gid on a chromebook. On my chromebook I enabled linux (beta), I installed the Xorg window server, installed gid, started with gidx, and it seems to work ok. I don’t know if everything that I did was logic, gid developers can comment if it can be done more easily.
The only minor thing is that I get: fontcon warning: /etc/fonts/fonts.conf line 100, unknown element “blank”
but when I click that away it doesn’t seem to be a real problem
kind, D.
Interesting,
Really we have never tried GiD running in a Chrome OS
thanks for your report
as extra info for those interested in gid on chromebooks:
licenses with usb dongles will not work at the moment (google did not implement usb support on linux on chromebooks yet). Indeed I tried and gid stops with ‘register - usb’. A local license will work however I think (anyway: gid doesn’t stop with ‘register - local’).
Kind, D.
At this moment (october 9 202) gid doesn’t run anymore on linux in a chromebook. No idea why. Looks like google changed something in chromeos.
Today, 27 januari 2021, i installed the latest linux on my chromebook. And gid runs again on that.
Thanks for sharing this information
