edit: I'm able to reproduce the issue here, will push a fixed firmware later tonight (or if unable to fix, revert to the old firmware).

I just thought of something here:
I cannot read everything on the screen, so what should I select here?:

"l the latest beta verion (5.95.1)?
the latest stable verion (5.0.8) will be used. (y/N)"

I have been selecting yes. Should I select no??

UPDATE:
I selected no and can read on the bottom line generic.x86_64-5.0.8

Bet this was the problem, I will report back.

So I've been setting up on a monitor that is 1680 x1050. I then change the resolution to 800 x 600 in order to change devices. Then I can unplug the HDMI and plug it into the TV, then changing the resolution to 1080p from there. The problem is whenever I turn it off, while plugged into the TV it won't display any picture. I'm guessing it is changing to a resolution that isn't supported on the TV. Is there a setting I am overlooking that is causing it to revert to a resolution that won't display on the TV?

I'm really confused what you're trying to do / what the issue is. If you leave everything alone, OE should auto-detect/auto-set the proper resolution at boot. I also wouldn't expect it to display a picture after you turn the box off ;-)

Whenever I turn on the Chromebox whenever it is connected to the TV it comes up on a resolution that doesn't work (a black screen that says nothing is connected). So in order to get the tv to work I must then connect it to the computer monitor, set the resolution to 800x600, then connect it to the TV and then set it to 1920x1080. I'm just wondering if I am doing something wrong or if there is some setting causing it to do this.

Thanks Matt. I can use wireless lan and not reboot until then.

Hello, just downloaded k ubuntu dual boot set up on my chromebox, but upon initial boot I am getting
-bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: Read-only file system
I have no idea what's going on and am new to this whole thing. Is there any way to work around this? I set up ubuntu with the max recommended partition (9GB). Please help!

So upon booting, am given a choice of ubuntu, advanced options for ubuntu, memory test, and memory test with a console #. When I choose ubuntu, after logging in as user I get -bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: Read-only file system. Should I reload chrome and start over? I don't know how to avoid this in the future because I didn't deviate from the instructions whatsoever. The initial install worked fine (I assume).
