I tried the cgpt settings to give high priority to partition6 with successful=1 flag, but that didn't help. Do I really need to remove the write protect screw and flash coreboot for this box to auto reboot to ubuntu? Appreciate any input.
you can boot to Ubuntu by default by making the legacy boot the default option (vs ChromeOS), but to do this, you need to remove the write protect screw, then use the script to set the default boot to Ubuntu. This doesn't flash coreboot, it just changes a firmware boot flag
using cgpt was a workaround for older Chromebooks that didn't have a legacy boot option, it's not valid for the newer ones that do.
