System on read only

Hey
I ran into problems running this command:

./setup-audio
cp: cannot create regular file ‘…’: Read-only file system

Help very much appreciated :slight_smile:

We don’t ship a command called setup-audio?

No its not about the command but about that the system is in read only.
Its only on bluefin and aurora.

It’s impossible to help you without knowing what setup-audio is and what it’s trying to do.

Sry im new to Linux. I installed Bluefin on my old chromebook. I need to run this script to have audio:

  • git clone https://github.com/WeirdTreeThing/chromebook-linux-audio.git
  • cd chromebook-linux-audio
  • ./setup-audio

Yeah unfortunately that script won’t work, someone would have to make a custom image for chromebooks in order to support that.

Okay thats to bad. Can you explain why? Im just curios because it worked on any other distro i tried and i would like to use bluefin as my daily driver.

That area of the disk is read-only and is generated as part of the build process, this is what leads to greater reliability so that random scripts on the internet can’t stomp on important system files.

Okay thank you for your help. Unfortunately i need that random script to have audio output.

Ok we’ll track it here, maybe we can just add it but I’m not sure of the implications so let’s see what other people think:
