So I'm new to the whole Ubuntu thing, and I thought I would try to make my Toshiba Chromebook 2 look like a mac using this tutorial: http://lifehacker.com/5665765/macbuntu-makes-your-linux-desktop-look-like-mac-os-x All went well till I typed in ./install.sh and it said "Permission Denied" does anyone know how to fix this? Or is this just not possible on my Chromebook?

1Considering that the tutorial is more than 6 years old, I would tend to be cautious with it. A lot has changed since Lucid Lynx. – Bruni May 04 '16 at 12:14

Do you know of a tutorial for Chromebooks that's newer? (Do I need one for Chromebooks specifically or does it not matter) – Wetchopp May 04 '16 at 12:31

1I would think that the Ubuntu version is more important than if it is for Chromebooks. I am not aware of any newer tutorials, though I have not searched. – Bruni May 04 '16 at 12:48

Also the script checks the Ubuntu version and would not work on a supported version anyway. (kudos to the developer for this) – Bruni May 04 '16 at 13:03

You have to give "execution permission" to the script. Take a look on this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions
the command you need is chmod +x install.sh

I can't understand that. Anyway, I suggest you to find a newer tutorial for macbuntu as the one you posted seems to be a bit old (it talks about ubuntu 10.xx). – migrc May 04 '16 at 12:15

I'm still interested in see why you are not able of running the script. Hope some advanced user coud explain this situation. – migrc May 04 '16 at 12:26
