Does anyone know how to change the resolution? I would like to set it to 1280X720

Just got it running on Parallels 4, using the Transporter to create the image. Nice!

Does this work if your network uses an authenticated proxy server? I don't see any options before the log in screen to specify and network settings.

I'm new to vmware... so how do you create a new VM? my only options are to open and download apps

After a big old "FAIL" using VM and getting the "network error" message I switched to VirtualBox.

Followed TechCrunch directions on using VirtualBox. See this link;

I used the Chromium version downloaded here on Gdgt. Works like a charm. A little lag even with 512 ram assigned. Must admit, I'm not sure what all the hype is about. It's a glorified web browser masking itself as an OS.

I do see the advantage using a netbook and cloud computing other then that, why waste your time.

Getting a black screen. Nothing. Running Virtualbox, x86.

so I have it installed and running (I think). One thing that I'm not sure about though is the first "tab", the one with the chrome "symbol". It is nothing but a blank white page. I assume something is suppose to be there, right? Also, this may be a noob question, but how do you shutdown this OS properly?

I am currently behind a proxy server which requires one to log in before accessing the Internet. Has anyone found a way to set a proxy username/password?

Thanks guys!! :D

I'm using:
- MacO S Snow Leopard;
- VMWare Fusion 3.

IT'S WORKING!

What did I do to work?

1. Download the archive;
2. New Virtual Machine;
3. Use an existing..., and select the disk, like a copy and DONT CONVERT.
4. Operating System: Other; Version: Other;
5. Next, nex... and the Chrome OS start alone (DO NOT LOG IN);
6. SHUT DOWN the machine;
7. Go to settings and change to "bridged (autodetect)";
8. Run the Chrome OS and login.

This steps work for me and I hope that work for someone!

So here is what I did to setup my VM.

1) I Created a new VM
2) Selected Custom
3) Hardware Capability Workstation 6.5
4) I will install the operating system later
5) Linux
6) Other Linux 2.6.x kernel
7) Called it Google Chrome OS
8) Gave it two processors
9) 1024 MB ram
10) Selected bridge networking
11) SCSI Adapter: LSI Logic
12) Use Existing Virtual Disk
13) Browsed to the vmdk file
14) I opted to convert it to Workstation 6.5
15) Checked Power on this virtual machine after creation
16) Clicked Finish
17) First login attempt failed
18) Changed the VM Ware network adapter settings and checked Replicate physical network connection state
19) rebooted
20) Logged in just fine
21) Pressed CTRL+ALT+T to open a terminal window
22) typed in xdandr -s 1280x720, hit enter to change my screen resolution
23) typed exit

Everything is working good.

Has anyone with googlemail.com account successfully logged in?

my google account does not work.
Does anyone know the offline account?

I am using a googlemail.com just like jhoughton

Recognizes my GAFYD account automatically, nice!

It appears to be that the VirtualBox image is corrupt. Tried with the VMware image, it worked.

2 problems with Chrome OS: The Chrome button doesn't work, and also HTTPS access doesn't work.
