| Developer Console |
| |
| To return to the browser, press: |
| |
| [ Ctrl ] and [ Alt ] and [ <- ] (F1) |
| |
| To use this console, the developer mode switch must be engaged. |
| Doing so will destroy any saved data on the system. |
| |
| In developer mode, it is possible to |
| - login and sudo as user 'chronos' |
| - require a password for sudo and login(*) |
| - disable power management behavior (screen dimming): |
| sudo initctl stop powerd |
| - install your own operating system image! |
| |
| * To set a password for 'chronos', run the following as root: |
| |
| echo "chronos:$(openssl passwd -1)" > /mnt/stateful_partition/etc/devmode.passwd |
| |
| If you are having trouble booting a self-signed kernel, you may need to |
| install the developer firmware. To do so, run the following as root: |
| |
| chromeos-firmwareupdate --mode=todev |
| |
| Have fun and send patches! |
