I’m getting the same error.

Nevermind. I needed to go with Android 13’s Chrome OS image.

me too. I cannot fix this problem.

I have the same issue, tried all the fix’s known to man so far, downloading local file etc . have wasted many hours on this and totally stuck … I love the concept of FydeOS / ChromeOS on older laptops or in this case a not so old Dell 2 in 1 device but not being able to install GApps in either case is making the exercise a waste on time. Happy to try anything …

First figure out what version you’re using. Then install open gapps according to the guide. https://fydeos.io/help/knowledge-base/getting-started/setup/install-google-play-store/

Fyde OS 20 is different. You have to download the atlas chromeos image, and pick 132 if you have android 13. Then when you do open gapps it ask for a file thats the file you use. I found out because i clicked the help part to figure it out. Once you do it that way works flawlessly, earlier releases did not need this.

Thorpe, really appreciate the reply … although have been a long time with Linux I am relatively new to ChromeOS / FydeOS so did not completely understand the actions you suggested I take … will do some more research but if have to time to put down some detailed steps … be most grateful :slight_smile:

Update on this thread, the processor on my Dell Win10 2 in 1 device was a Core M5 vPro and my first choice of OS downloads was the “Intel Modern” as the CPU description had “core” in it … out of desperation I reimaged with “intel slim” and this seems to now work and I have GAPS installed … hope that helps somebody .
