Running Kbuntu Trusty via Crouton on my wife's HP Chromebook 14 for over 1 year now (originally Raring). Not quite what you are asking, but it does run to her satisfaction. She can get to Thunderbird and see her photos displayed as screen background and use Dropbox files locally. Grive does not work so waiting on Google for their promise to support linux with Google Drive...

Is this any help?
