Is there any way to integrate WebDAV or Nextcoud under ChromeOS? Like an additional drive.

I don't want to use Google One because the storage space is a bit too expensive for me.

I have an Asus Chromebox and can download from a flash drive to local storage, but not to Google Drive, Can do a file from local storage to Google Drive. Any combination works but flash drive to Google Drive. Tried different flash drives, still the same. This has been happening for months but now I may need to do it.

I posted last week about having issues with the left usb-c port where the indicator light would flash on and off, and after a few different configurations, here is what I have found (still no solutions):

-chromebook on charging from left usb-c flashing indicator light, will not charge, or will charge infrequently after flashing indicator

-chromebook on charging from top usb-c flashing indicator light, will not charge, or will charge infrequently after flashing indicator

-chromebook off charging from left usb-c indicator light flashes 3 times then goes solid and charges

-chromebook off charging from top usb-c indicator light flashes 3 times then goes solid and charges

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

currently in Stable - 131.0.6778.241

Hey was wondering if anyone knew if Chrome OS can make a bootable media for linux, mac, or windows that actually works if so specify which that does work. Also apps or extensions that do so if any?

The internal microphone has stopped working on my Acer Spin 714 (CP714-1WN) which currently is at version 131.0.6778.241. External microphones work fine, both 3.5mm and USB. I'm not sure when this has started because usually I take meetings connected to a docking station with an external microphone but today it didn't work when I try to use the laptop undocked. I did a meeting using the internal microphone few weeks ago, so it has to be a recent development. Do other people with the same model have this issue? A web search found this thread from a year ago, but not much more.

When I close the lid, it does either 2 things instead of sleeping.

1. Black screen that's unresponsive. Needs restart.

2. Shuts down

I was considering buying the lenove chrome book 4gb ram one with 32gb space, will i be able to use idm to download videos from movie sites with it?

Hi! I'm having quite a bit of trouble with my Acer Chromebook cloud gaming laptop, it is exactly a year and 3 months old. It won't turn on at all and the charging light is not on, The charger is not the problem as I have determined that it still works perfectly fine. I have tried connecting a lower power source such as my phone charger and the light still does not turn on. Is it the battery that needs to be replaced? Any advice is helpful!

I can set the volume before I put in my earphones but once they are connected the volume won't change even though I see the bar going up and down. Are there any fixes?

Similar to my previous post https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/1h5qggy/asus_ct100p_used_im_new_to_chromeos_after_battery/

The 'book was acting sluggish so I thought I'd reboot. Long-press power button and the only option I had was to shut down, so selected that.

Instead of finding it shut down a few minutes later I found that it was on what looks like the initial setup screen asking who was going to use the chromebook and I had to sign in again

Is this remotely normal behavior?

[did some more searching]

I've seen a few recommendations to set a PIN but that didn't change the behavior.

It's set to sign in automatically.

There's only one user set up.

What other information might help figure out why this is happening?

Going to try a power wash next.

I just bought a Chromebook and suddenly realized I might run into problems if I want to use my HDD

https://amzn.eu/d/9qBbTXc

On my new Chromebook. On my Windows Laptop a window opens to type in the password when I want to open it but does this window also open on Chromebook?

Yes the product says it's for Mac but it works perfectly fine on my Laptop

The thing is I'd like that HDD to be secured so that's why I'm asking if there's a way to open it or not if not will it open if I remove the lock from that HDD? And can I lock it again on Chrome OS in a different way?

Thanks in advance

PS. I used discussion as the flair because I'm not having any issues yet since I don't have it yet 😅

Hey all, I got a new laptop with the following details: ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34 14 Inch Full HD 16:9 IPS Display | Intel Core i3-1215U | 8 GB RAM | 128GB UFS | Intel UHD Graphics

I was surprised that it can run well a light game from Steam, but then I tried to launch Epic and GOG games with the Heroic Games Launcher after having installed Wine and a bunch of other dependencies, but some games only play audio with no video, and all the other light games I tried do display the video but are very laggy and almost unplayable.

This sucks because most games I have are on Epic and GOG...

Any idea what could be the bottleneck. I have no experience with wine and don't know what to try. Thanks in advance.

I am trying to download steam games on my Chromebook, I am not tech savvy at all but when I try to download it, a banner comes up with “steam for Chromebook (beta) is not available on your Chromebook. My question is there any way around this?

To get that out of the way, this is in dev mode. I have been able to run binaries from my sdcard by simply remounting it as exec, and chmod +x on my binaries. I updated to v131 today, and found that a simple mount -o remount,exec /media/removable/sdcard wasn't enough because the mount is "nonempty", but a -i option fixed that. I confirmed that /dev/mmcblk2 has the "noexec" option removed correctly. Yet when i do "chmod +x" (with or without sudo) on my binaries, they remain "-rw-r--r--" in ls -l, and executing them gives permission denied. What has changed, and how do i override it? I'm rocking an HP X211.

chronos@coachz-rev3 / $ mount|grep mmcblk2
/dev/mmcblk2 on /media/removable/shuttle type exfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nosymfollow,dirsync,uid=1000,gid=1001,fmask=0133,dmask=0022,iocharset=utf8,errors=remount-ro)
chronos@coachz-rev3 / $ chmod +x /media/removable/shuttle/arm32/node

So, I know this has been asked many times, but I haven't seen an answer to my specific issue.

My Chromebook stopped automatically turning the backlit off after not touching the keyboard/trackpad for a few seconds. I know that holding alt and pressing the brightness keys turns this off. Also, restarting is supposed to turn it back on...

However, even after a power wash I still cannot get it to work. I am assuming that at this point, it is a defect with the software and hardware not communicating properly. I have a bit of time left on my warranty and assume I should rma it. Just wanted to check with all of you smart people.

Thank you!

recently I was using my Chromebook and I accidentally turned on some kind of advanced security setting and it removed all my third-party apps including the Play Store. I have been trying to turn this off and I can't find it anywhere in settings. I tried to do a powerwash on my Chromebook but the issue is still here. I have tried looking at YouTube videos and websites but I haven't been able to find anything that will fix the problem.

For Christmas, my sister got a new Chromebook so I got her old one. when she factory reset it and I was done with the setup, I went to pair my phone, but it wasn't found. I have Bluetooth and wifi enabled on both of my devices. what should I do?

Why are chromebooks so moderately easy to fix?

For example: The screen breaks it only takes me around five minutes to do the repair.

Guessing because they are a little cheap but still its nice.

Dear r / ChromeOS Discord moderators, this is a mute appeal for the ChromeOS Discord Server since I was muted for 2 weeks, which is possibly too long for something mild. I was on the ChromeOS Discord server, testing out the G H backspace keys, but they did not work. I am so sorry for pressing the wrong buttons. I pressed F and G instead of G and H which caused message spam, when suddenly I got muted/timed out for too long for this. I will try the best I can to not do a mistake like this again since it activated the enter key. Next time, I will pay attention to me pressing the keys since they are right next to each other. Love, ultraleland7. Date: 12/30/24.

Good afternoon,

Happy early new year... I am painfully aware about making sure you save files just in case you lose them via some kind of error on your chromebook, BUT after a powerwash, if I really wanted to retrieve this 1 particular file, would it be possible for me to contact somebody? Is there some kind of support who handles such issues? I assume this is common. You accidently deleted an important file that you want back.

Is this a difference between chomebooks and say a laptop/desktop? There are programs to retrieve deleted files? BUT on chromebook.. no such program exists?.. I would think it's 2024, there's gotta be some program?

Thanks

I looked for so long but couldn't find anything

My Acer recently ran out of battery and would not boot up. After some Reddit searches some folks recommended removing the battery, plugging in, and then booting up, which worked great... weird and annoying of course.

I am going to charge battery and see if I am out of woods, but if not, any actual permanent solution? Nervous to send to Acer for repair since folks said problem came back even with a new battery etc...

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Ive been in the market for a budget chromebook since my last one broke down, I only use it for streaming sports or watching movies and shows and nothing more so having a good screen is important to me, I asked this reddit earlier and every single person replied saying it needs to have 8GB ram, so are any of these open box ones worth it, or is open box just there and they lie about condition etc. I don't know much about laptops so let me know if these are good deals and are worth it

1. Lenovo - IdeaPad 3i Chromebook Laptop - 15" FHD Touch Screen - Pentium Silver N6000 - 8GB Memory - 128GB SSD

Found this one at best buy listed at $249 (original price listed at $430) currently but I can get it for $214 with it being an open box, (showing excellent condition) if that stuff is true, which to me seeks like a good enough deal, for $214 15 inch screen, touch screen, 8GB ram seems solid enough for a budget option, is also full HD

2. Lenovo - IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook 2-in1 Laptop - 13.3" FHD Touchscreen - Snapdragon 7cG2 - 8GB - 128GB eMMC

This one is listed at $369 (original price $499), but I could get it open box good condition for $231, or excellent for $244, again all the specs seem pretty reasonable for the price

3. Lenovo - Ideapad 1 15.6" Full HD Touchscreen Laptop - Ryzen 5 7520U with 8GB Memory - AMD Radeon Graphics - 256GB

This one is listed at $331 (original of $579) but I can get a good condition open box for $220, this one only had the good condition and no excellent condition

Out of these 3 which one is the best and would you recommend to get or should I go really cheap and get one of the 15in screens full HD but with 4GB ram, could get that for $119, let me know

I haven't used this laptop for like a week or so and now I cant click on anything in apps. It was working like 1 or 2 days ago when I was playing plants vs zombies but last night I opened ibis paint x and I couldn't click anything. At first I though it was just ibis paint so I opened the play store to see if I needed to update it and I couldn't click anything on there either. And it no longer works for plants vs zombies either. But it works fine on websites and on apps that were like pre-downloaded to the chromebook (Like chrome canvas etc) I've also checked to see if my chromebook needed to be updated but I have it so that it like auto updates and it says that its up to date in the settings. I've also tried updating the apps or the google play store from the settings but I'm unsure if that's possible. I was unable to find anything by searching it up on google and now I'm lost. If you have any idea on how to fix this please include instructions because I'm slow. Thank you in advance.

(edit: forgot to include that in using a HP chromebook. if that helps)

I want to stream from my Asus Chrombook to TV. Figured USB-C to HDMI cable is best way but some of my movies are 4k and wonder if I should worry about 30 or 60 HZ

I can’t find any methods that function with the chrome directory. The farthest I’ve gotten is installing wine on the Linux terminal. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

wanted to just hear out if anyone has any ideas what could be going on with my super weird keyboard issue.

Long story short: I had a clear and detremental keyboard hardware issue that fixed itself overnight. It's the Wolverine or Acer Laptops, apparently.

I got a new Chromebook Plus 714 Spin a month ago. Yesterday I watched a stream for a long time, with the device spinned to tablet mode. I then turned it to laptop mode and the keyboard was haywire.

Issue was: Some keystrokes didn't produce any letters, some entirely wrong. S gave a G, number 2 gave a K, H gave a E etc. Clearly not a case of "wrong language mapping", looks like a hardware issue.

I try the following:

• Restart
• Spin the computer to tablet and laptop back and forth a few times
• Rest
• Plug in to charger, plug out of charger
• Tap it around gently if there is wiring issues
• Powerwash

Nope, same issue precides.

I leave the laptop for the night, deciding that I need to go to store today for warranty.

Today I open the laptop and lo and behold, the keyboard works. If I spin it around and back, it works. I add in my account again, install all the extensions and apps. It works. It just works now. Can't replicate the issue.

I've tried again tapping it around gently to see if wiring goes off, still works correctly.

Only thing that I can think of is that it cooled off over night. As in I had watched the streams and then obviously poked around with it a lot when trying to troubleshoot. And then it rested on the table (not plugged in to charger) over night and cooled off. Overheating leading to keystroke issues though, what on earth?

Now I've messed around with tech enough in my lifetime to know that unfortunately this will not be a blessing from the heavens and never repeat itself, guaranteed it'll go haywire again. I'll just try to replicate it somehow before taking it to warranty, since we all know how those boomerangs work.

But I would appreciate any additional thoughts or ideas on what this could be. Or if someone has actually had the same issue. Thank you!

How can I download tor in my choromebook?

I've been trying for a long time but I don't know how to do it
