I just bought an Acer C7 Chromebook and installed Ubuntu 12.04 with XFCE on it using Crouton. It works well and easily switches between ChromeOS and Ubuntu. The problem is Ubuntu piggybacks on the ChromeOS 3.4.0 kernel. I don't know of a way to get the headers for their kernel. VB will install and open but you can't create a machine. Has anyone figured out how to do this?
thanks.

There are three groups of people. Those that can count and those that can't.

thanks Chip... I didn't find anything to help though. I have seen in a number of places where people can't get it to work but nowhere just yet where someone did.
