Pretty much title.

I thought it might be something related to uBlock Origin because that can happen, but no, I've disabled all of my extensions and YouTube is just straight-up not working. All I get is a black box.

I've

• rebooted firefox multiple times
• rebooted my chromebook
• disabled all extensions, then rebooted firefox

It just straight-up isn't working. It works perfectly fine on my normal Linux OS laptop.

How dimm does its display get?
The Duet 3 was way too bright for a night stand device, especially compared to the OG Duet.

DON'T DO THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE SKILLS IN MALWARE ANALYSIS!

Due to ChromeOS having Linux in a container out of the box and the report from Atredis Partners tilted ChromeOS Competitive Analysis showing the zero trust implementation of ChromeOS on an OS level. It makes a strong case for the use for malware analysis. I'm currently doing an assignment on applied malware analysis and was looking into Linux's use in the field of malware analysis. Using the malware SHA256 a6a49e35a2cc69bec238c05ce5b8cdf71321266a24c7b365b568994ba1bedfeb I found on malware bazaar as an example you can see the functionality ChromeOS can have.

While objdump is a basic disassembler included in most Linux distributions, this does present a strong case for using ChromeOS for malware analysis. Google's setup of the VM creates a safe alternative for ChromeOS to be used in these environments.

I've got an Acer CB5-571 for £7

It's 4GB so pretty useless for doze and past end of support/updates but a reasonable gpu and screen so thinking of a modified bios and xubuntu or lubuntu.

Main things really are current security updates for a supported browser which xubuntu should provide, ssh, text editor vi, ide, vmware remote console support like a portable admin node etc and a carryable for short trips where I don't want to take an expensive W11 work laptop or a Macbook pro retina/air. Not sure if it'll run osx although my macbook with 4gb does run the latest osx ok for basic stuff with oclp.

I've done similar with a HP about 4 years ago when it went past eol and is now dual boot off the internal sata ssd and a sd card.

Any tips/ versions to go for or avoid ? Should it be left with whatever bios it's got or updated to latest chromeos/bios prior to hacking ? Is there anything better that seabios nowadays ? Anything to avoid bricking bios and specific builds it'll need ? Would it be easier/safest to put in a larger 64gb/128gb ssd in first and do a factory recovery restore from an image to give a rollback ability with original ssd?

Any advice/help appreciated.

Hi there, I'm looking to buy a Chromebook that has a 13-14" screen size, at least 16GB of RAM, i3 or better, along with 128GB of SSD or better (no eMMC). Ideally has a touchscreen, and uses USB-C to charge itself. Can anyone recommend anything?

If anyones looking for a cheap chromebook this holiday season, this is definitely something to look at.

PLEASE don't downvote me for being worried about this. So... Normally it takes at least a week for my Chromebook's data usage to even reach the five hundred mark, but... in these past few days, my Chromebook's browsing data just keeps rising higher and higher and higher and it just won't go back down. I've cleared my cache, cookies and browsing data multiple times. Today, it used up over an entire GB of data in the span of five hours, it just kept rapidly rising and rising and wouldn't go down, and so I just powerwashed the whole device but it seems like even that didn't work because the number just keeps rising, I really feel like something's wrong and it's stressing me out, I don't know what to do, it's not right, it's not supposed to be using so much data, it's never done this before and I'm worried it's going to end up ruining my computer...

I picked up a Duet 3 Chromebook (8GB + 128GB) from Lenovo when it went on clearance, and I'm loving it... except that at random times (and believe me, I've tried to notice if there's a pattern), it will power off. I can close the keyboard on it, and open the sleeve 30 seconds later, and I get the black and white "chromeos" boot logo.

It's barely tolerable because it boots fast, but what really irks me is that I have to get back to what I was doing in the Linux Terminal (Penguine): that session state does not save well.

Is this normal? My daughter's ChromeOS device does not seem to reboot at random. A week ago I signed into a corporate account, and I'm wondering if device management has something to do with this. I tried deleting the account from all places it appeared (settings, lock screen, etc.), but the random reboots persist.

I appreciate any help anyone can give

my headphones sounds muffled like when the microphone is one but i checked and its not on, I tried a power reset but it only fixed it for a little bit but when they started sounding muffled again the reset didn't work i tried with both my headphones and they sound fine with my phone but terrible on Chromebook

Hi, does anyone have a real world review of the Lenevo Duet 3 ? I want to get one also it's ? Nov 14 RN should I wait for christmas or get it on black friday ?? I live in Canada, Saskatchewan.

I have an old Toshiba Chromebook 2 that I used using chrx and Linux Mint. ChromeOS stopped working long ago. As the battery was barely working, I bought a new laptop.

Yesterday, I wanted to look into the files on the laptop. However, Ctrl-L just give some beeps and the laptop does not boot further. I suspect the battery drowned and that impacted the boot order / reset RW_LEGACY. FYI, I think I installed SeaBios, not sure which version.

What can I do to recover the data?

• getting the fysical sdd out of the laptop and reading it using a third party usb connector would work I guess? It is encrypted using LUKS, AFAIK that is just something I need to fiddle out once I can mount the drive in (another) Linux installation.
• is it also possible to fix the laptop itself? How can I get the laptop to boot from Linux (assuming the ssd still works, which I do not know for sure)? Inserting a bootable USB does not work - the laptop tells me USB booting is not activated

My main goal is to recover the data, and I'm hopeful I can do that using such usb converter. What do you think?

I am planning to buy my 10-year old son a Chromebook this Black Friday season. It will be for browsing and Google apps anyway so a Chromebook would really be perfect. So I did my research and found the Asus Chromebook Plus XC34 at $329 on Walmart and the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 on Best Buy but at $530. I just thought that my son would like the Acer one better as it can also be a tablet but the price difference is holding me back. I'm not a techie person so please convince me which one is the better Chromebook. Thanks!

Is this a good price to get this chromebook for? Its an Open Box but i don't mind that.

einmal da gab mir mein Chromebook eine Sicherheitswarnung dass ich "für sicherheit mein Google Play Store löschen musste". Ich habe einfach auf ja geklickt da ich dumm bin. plötzlich merke ich jetzt was ich getan habe...

On Monday the 11th of November I done my the chromeos admin exam and successfully passed. The exam predominantly is more of Google workspace, use cases and covering the hardware aspect of ChromeOS and how it plays within the Google admin console. The expiry for this certification is 2 years from the date. Google has not stated on anything regarding recertification, most likely you will just have to take the exam again but hopefully they might introduce continued education similar to how CompTIA does.

The exam is all multiple choice, made up of 60 questions and takes 2 hours to complete. Packt has a book on the exam however it is slightly outdated now due to changes that Google has done with chromeos, but it does cover the primary core aspects of the operating system. When it comes to receiving your certification itself is a bit weird. So what Google normally does is they provide the certification of the badge for your accreditation wallet through Pearson's Credly. But for some reason they did not do this ChromeOS Admin certification, you are able to import this into Credly which I have done but it is important to note that this is a slight difference when it comes to decertification compared to Google's other certifications with the likes of Google cloud and the certifications within cybersecurity and IT support.

I would suggest getting this certification if you're trying to get into the technology space as chromeos is a very new operating system when compared to the likes of MacOS, Windows and Linux. While the exam isn't actually cover the use of the Linux container as of right now. From my experience, I would suggest that reading up about how Linux would be a great advantage for any ChromeOS user simply due to the application libraries that comes with Linux. For example, I utilise calibre on my Chromebook to keep a library of the ebooks which I have in my possession. This can be very useful with in an educational environment, for example within secondary. This is due to the fact that you have the ability to make multiple copies of books or even supply it to the students via Google Playbooks in the Google admin console. Not only that, but the skills you gain from the administrator certification for Chrome OS can be applied to other operating systems.

If you pay attention to the Google and chromeos LinkedIn pages, you would most likely know that Google has been making crush within the enterprise scene to utilise chromeos in in POS systems, kiosks and digital signage. The Chrome OS admin exam does cover this very briefly your experience may very.

Those who don't know a latte Panda is a single board computer that's based on x86. Simply put, is it raspberry pi but on steroids. Specifications of these boards do meet Chrome OS flex requirements however, I have not seen anyone actually implement them in a POS system or signage. I was wondering if this implementation work as it can help greatly with the local community.

So here's the thing. (not sure if y'all are linux junkies) I was trying to install Opera (the browser) a while ago after adding the amd64 architecture and it would not launch after installation. (probably cause the arm cpu) And here's another thing: I don't want to cross-compile! So put any suggestions to maybe make it work. A video is down below this and Opera is still trying to load at the time of this post.

So, the story is. My Chromebook first started with having a no audio problem and then the mouse wasn't working so I got a new mouse. And the mouse didn't light up or anything. So I tried it on a different computer and that worked so I turned off the Chromebook that wasn't working and left it off for a minute or two. And when I turned it on I was in recovery mode and it said chrome OS is missing or damaged. So I looked it up online and it said that all of my data is gone and I can't get out of this recovery mode thing so I said screw it and followed the steps on the bottom of the screen that said for help visit this link and I did everything and followed all steps on my other computer. And then I plugged the recovery USB stick into the Chromebook and it just turned off. Also, I must mention the fact that the Chromebook is flashing white whenever I tried turning it on and it's a lenovo chromebook. Please can someone help thank you.

I was hoping to get this device on a Black Friday sale, but it's too new to get a discount, so I found my own. Levovo has a lot on Black Friday sale though and the below will likely work on that stuff too.

I was able to score the brand-new device for just $10 more than the 64GB 4 GB RAM version and thought I would share.

The discount works for either version and likely anything you buy from them right now.

First I used the Cart threshold coupon you get for signing up for their txts. A popup appears when you visit the Lenovo site for $10 off (the more you spend the more it gives up to $100), and then the ecoupon code EXTRAFIVE which gives $20 off, and was working in the US as of an hour ago. If you're not getting the popup, use an incognito tab and a new email. The code it gives you will be good for any order.

This SKU comes with the pen as well.

I am super stoked to try this device out and feel like I got it for a steal even if tax kicks it back up to $400. 😂😭

Quite new to Linux on Chromebook.

After setting up a pretty terminal, I found that the only thing I couldn't get rid of was the white top bar for the app.

Is there a way to change it to a dark theme like my Chromebook system theme?

I have tried to install adapta-gtk-theme by following this, but apparently the package can't be installed now...

so basically whenever i sign out of my chromebook it always gives me the message after i put in my password that my password couldn’t be verified. is there something i can do to fix that?

whenever i try to type the q, w, e, r, u, i, o, p, the shift on the right side, and the up and left arrows, it just doesn’t work. is there anything i can do?

I’ve recently spilled some sprite onto my Lenovo Gen 4 Chromebook, and when I tried to charge it after drying it off, it didn’t charge. What should I do to get to charge again?

If you have this at your school, does it cause a lot of problems?

School environment. The audio jack in a handful of these in our fleet has cracked/broken, to where a headphone plug won't keep a solid connection, hence audio cuts in and out. When we had extended warranty coverage, my go-to was to have the repair company deal with it. Without warranty coverage now, I'm contemplating replacing the motherboards myself.

I've purchased only one replacement motherboard so far, to make sure a) I can get a vendor (on eBay) with the correct part at a decent price, and b) that I can get the job done with said part, but without a major effort beyond swapping out the MoBo. So far, the first vendor sent two MoBos that didn't match the MoBo revision number on the original; however, the part number and description on the eBay listing matched what I was looking for (L92186-001), and the sticker on the replacement MoBos referenced that same part number. What I get on initial boot (after first performing an OS recovery with the latest available image) is, first, "installing critical update," followed by "missing or damaged OS."

I searched the MoBo revision number of the replacement (DA00GAMB6D2 rev. D) and found that it's for a different model (HP Chromebook 11 G8 EE), and even tried performing an OS recovery using that image, but I got the same result. My next step would be to find a vendor that will confirm the MoBo revision matches what I'm looking for (DA00GAMB6i2 rev. i).

Yes, I know that other, direct vendors, like chromebookparts.com, might have the correct part at a regular/premium price. But at that price it's hard justify when I'm simply trying to extend the life only because such a small defect has severely hampered the utility of the device in our school environment.

Another point that someone knowledgeable could address is this (which probably has an obvious answer): Is a BIOS rewrite needed to assign the old serial number to the replacement MoBo, and what does that entail (part 2 of my quest, above)?

FWIW: I have someone on the school's maintenance crew looking into whether they might be able to repair the audio jacks with epoxy or something.

Any advice and guidance on this is greatly appreciated.

My Lenovo Chromebook IdeaPad 5 14ITL6 14" has an i3 CPU, 8gb ddr4x and a small but blazing fast m.2 nvme SSD at 128gb

It actually can run GTA IV through Steam and emulation perfectly fine. ( I always have my laptops on a cooling stand, for better viewing angle and posture and not toasting my nuts or the battery )

I'm quite tempted at buying this 512gb for around 75 eurodollars, and moving it's SSD to my desktop as an extra drive. Could it then boot chrome os and not the flex version?

the nvidia gpu would probably not work, but my i5 has integrated graphics and might be on some other chromedevice?

I'm a noob PC builder and have my first build, and have the chromebook as the portable device and backup if the pc is undergoing upgrades.

Btw; I learned that most if not all Chromebooks use a shorter m.2 ssd "2242", as in 22mm x 42mm, and not the longer and more rectangular found in desktops etc. My PC-motherboard takes both.

I make a recovery image file for my chromebook on an usb stick and connect after i swap out the SSD and i'm good to go more or less?

I've got everything i need in the cloud, and offline playlists on a micro sd
