Ok, first I poked around the ubuntu tablet and related PPAs to see if I could find one with an ARM port of R, but no luck. Next I tried a debian install - jessie is supported on Crouton and it installs and runs basically without a hitch. But I run into the same problem installing R - using only a cran debian source and none of Rutter's PPAs. Now r-base-core is only available up to 3.1.1-1. Attempting sudo apt-get install r-base=3.1.1-1 yields a complaint from apt that r-recomm...

On Ubuntu 14.04 the following commands worked to install R 3.0.2 (after adding Rutter's PPA): sudo apt-get install r-base-core sudo apt-get install r-recommended=3.0.2-1ubuntu1 sudo apt-get install r-base=3.0.2-1ubuntu1 For anyone else trying to run R on a linux distro through Crouton on a Chromebook: there is a catch for ubuntu - when installing packages in R, the usual window that pops up asking which R mirror you want doesn't work. Instead, it throws an error - probably related to whatever Crouton is doing under the hood. You can manually specify the mirror with install.p...

...tros for some work. My own sources.list includes deb http://cran.stat.sfu.ca/bin/linux/ubuntu trusty/ and R updated fine to 3.2.4 last week with a typical automated prompt that there were updates available. So maybe Matt's problem is something else. This was the first time I'd read about crouton (I run regular Linux distros). Is that getting in the way somehow?

Thanks for the replies. Crouton does get in the way of installing arbitrary linux distros - in particular the only ubuntu distros that are fully supported are precise and trusty (12.04 and 14.04). Others have gotten vivid and wily to work with some effort. I found a reasonably detailed guide for vivid, so I'm currently instal...

I have a chromebook with a fresh minimal install of Ubuntu 14.04 running through crouton, and I'm trying to install the latest version of R. The only thing I have done to the system before trying to install R is install gedit. When I try to install R I get an unmet dependencies error that complains that the version of r-base-core available isn't new enough. I followed the inst...

I've got a netbook, circe 2009. When I got it, not that I was wild about ubuntu, but there was specifically an ubuntu netbook remix. Well, it's a few years later - has anyone put CentOS (6, preferably) on a netbook, and were there any problems? mark
