Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone else has gotten the Chromium OS up and running? I've managed to, but for some reason the App Bar tab (or whatever it's called; the far left tab) doesn't show anything.

Do you perhaps have to add individual apps (like gmail.com, or hotmail.com) to that menu yourself (e.g. by visiting their URL and then pressing something)?

Well, there is a "Create application shortcuts" menu option, clicking it prompts you to add shortcuts on the desktop or application menu but nothing appears anywhere that I can see.

I did try navigating to goto.ext.google.com/crux-home, which is apparently the URL for that tab, but just received a login prompt. After restarting the OS, the app tab now shows that same login page.

Here's a pic:

Interesting... didn't the name 'crux' come up before? Anybody remember which service it was in relation to?

German Linux magazine provided a VMware image of Chromium OS:

They also published a couple of screenshots (which I've uploaded here to color compress them first to speed up the display):

Yes running in VMware here, i've download an image from gdgt.com. When downloaded you can login with the username 'chronos' with the password 'password'. Then you can login on the application menu.

VirtualBox runs better

I can't log in, I always get "incorrect username or password". I tried 3 personal account but also chronos/password.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have an azerty keyboard but make sure I type correctly. I'm using VirtualBox on Mac OSX and I have no notification for lack of Internet connexion (I'm on Ethernet).
