Samsung Chromebook Pro - Ubuntu 18.04.5

[sudomeiyou]

Hey, I'm a total noob to Linux stuff. I wanted to flash my Chromebook and put a real operating system on it. Originally I Tried PopOS!, and it seemed like everything was working great, but there was no sound.

That's a dealbreaker for me, a pretty big issue. I found out about your project and I tried running it on there. No luck. I tried a suggested fix for Linux Mint, changing the variable for the distribution name to Ubuntu and that allowed ansible to run, but it didn't do anything successfully. I didn't notice any differences after running it.

I decided to try running Ubuntu 18.04, since I understand that's what you're working with. I'm able to get a lot farther, but ansible does still return errors:

TASK [eve-audio : generate cras/config (failure expected)] *********************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": ["make"], "delta": "0:00:00.073898", "end": "2020-11-18 01:58:25.298914", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 2, "start": "2020-11-18 01:58:25.225016", "stderr": "libtoolize:   error: One of these is required:\nlibtoolize:                 gm4 gnum4 m4\nlibtoolize:   error: Please install GNU M4, or 'export M4=/path/to/gnu/m4'.\nmake[1]: *** [/opt/eve-linux-setup/adhd/cras/configure] Error 1\nmake: *** [cras] Error 2", "stderr_lines": ["libtoolize:   error: One of these is required:", "libtoolize:                 gm4 gnum4 m4", "libtoolize:   error: Please install GNU M4, or 'export M4=/path/to/gnu/m4'.", "make[1]: *** [/opt/eve-linux-setup/adhd/cras/configure] Error 1", "make: *** [cras] Error 2"], "stdout": " [0]  Building cras\n/opt/eve-linux-setup/adhd/cras/cras.mk:10: recipe for target '/opt/eve-linux-setup/adhd/cras/configure' failed\nMakefile:11: recipe for target 'cras' failed", "stdout_lines": [" [0]  Building cras", "/opt/eve-linux-setup/adhd/cras/cras.mk:10: recipe for target '/opt/eve-linux-setup/adhd/cras/configure' failed", "Makefile:11: recipe for target 'cras' failed"]}
...ignoring

That's the first error, then:

Do you have any ideas for getting around this? Is there any hope I could get sound working on here? It's basically the only issue that's actually holding me back at this point.

Thanks for all the work and tinkering you've put into this!
