Need Linux on Chromebook for work, stuck and need help.

[jivecody]

I am having difficulties installing Linux (crouton) on my chromebook (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Hisense-Chromebook-11.6-Quad-Core-Processor/44389793). This is vital to me to have since I need supported software through windows and must use wine to access it so I can complete the work. The work is for a software company that manages and runs auto dealership software. if you can't tell I have 0 to do w/coding and only go from dealership to dealership helping people more computer illiterate than me understand the new program. ANYWAYS this is the output from the crosh terminal in chromebook after trying to install crouton. can anyone figure this out? First few lines are right after install and KEEPS GETTING STUCK AT LOADING EXTENSION GLX after several tries at downloading various ways.

EDIT: Hope this community can help me out it was ranked one of the highest in a reddit best linux community thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1kng66/best_linux_community/




Here's some tips:

Audio from the chroot will now be forwarded to CRAS (Chromium OS audio server),
through an ALSA plugin.

Future Chromium OS upgrades may break compatibility with the installed version
of CRAS. Should this happen, simply update your chroot.

You can flip through your running chroot desktops and Chromium OS by hitting
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Back and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Forward.

You must install the Chromium OS extension for integration with crouton to work.
The extension is available here: https://goo.gl/OVQOEt

You can start Xfce via the startxfce4 host command: sudo startxfce4

Unmounting /mnt/stateful_partition/crouton/chroots/trusty...
Done! You can enter the chroot using enter-chroot.
chronos@localhost / $ enter-chroot
enter-chroot must be run as root.
chronos@localhost / $ sudo startunity
Password:
sudo: startunity: command not found
chronos@localhost / $ sudo startxfce4
Enter encryption passphrase for precise:
