    How to fix the glxinfo -B error. Power off and on and try it again. It worked for me. I looked up and down these comments and only one said to reboot and it worked for us. Thank you for all the help bro definitely will sub now. EDIT: I got it to work, downloaded steam and it ran but the chrome books just don’t have enough ram for downloading anything. I honestly wouldn’t even bother because even if you did get an external hard drive and did some computer magic you would probably have a rough time playing anything.

The glxinfo-B code displays “Error: unable to open display “ so we’re not sure how to confirm those tools are installed or how to proceed on Acer Spin 311 model.

    On an Acer R11 Chromebook, after a bit of struggling I have managed to mostly duplicate what you did here -- except my glxinfo shows a 'render string' of 'llvmpipe' instead of 'virgl', so there is no acceleration activated. What is even more puzzling to me is that your 'vendor string' shows 'Red Hat' (??) whereas my own says 'VMware, Inc.'. Any thoughts?

    I have the Chrome 3, it was just for writing until my Mac clocked out for good. Some of the stuff has worked so far. My questions.
    1.) Is linux your go to for searches or do you still navigate through the normal way. (Chrome etc.)
    2.) To install anything (apps, games etc.) should I always use linux or once set up it doesn't matter?
    3.) How does one know what commands to give linux? I was playing with it and most things say invalid, even updates but upgrade worked just fine. I literally stumbled on your video today and now I'm 3 videos in. 🤫🙏

      I have crouton on my Pixel Slate. It is in developer mode.
      liliputing.com/2018/07/how-to-enable-developer-mode-on-a-chrome-os-tablet-and-install-linux-using-crouton.html
      When you get to the crouton installation step of running sudo on crosh and it asks for a password, I got past that by installing the Connection Forwarder extension and using ssh from another computer to get in as root and ran chromeos-setdevpasswd
      chrome://extensions/?id=ahaijnonphgkgnkbklchdhclailflinn
      Once that is done you don't need to ssh in as root again as the crosh shell user chronos can use sudo. Note that the default ssh setup in developer mode has a well known key so take precautions. On a chromebook/pixelbook you can get to vt2 to run chromeos-setdevpasswd but I was not able to get to vt2 on a Pixel Slate so I used the ssh technique.
      I installed bionic and used this to make it fast github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/3988
      I'm using a Brydge G-Type keyboard. I don't get the messed up screen when I Ctrl-Shift-Alt-backarrow out of gnome on bionic.
