Update on ChromeOS Login Issues and Investigation Progress
Technology Services is currently investigating various ChromeOS login issues District-wide, affecting fewer than 1% of Chromebooks. Addressing these login issues remains our top priority, and significant progress has been achieved. If any students encounter problems logging into their Chromebooks, please submit a support request.
Here is a breakdown of the reported ChromeOS issues as of today:
  • Adding Additional Student Accounts: When attempting to log into a Chromebook using a Google account, if the account isn't recognized, users are prompted to sign in with a secondary account.
  • Cryptohome Mounting Issues: Users are unable to mount Cryptohome, or the Cryptohome itself is corrupted.
  • Blank Webpage Presentation: Students are faced with blank webpages upon logging in.
  • 8/25/23 ChromeOS Outage: On August 25th, Google experienced a ChromeOS outage resulting in students being unable to log in.
We are actively collaborating with Google and our technology partners to pinpoint solutions. Additionally, we have introduced a status page on Zendesk Guide to provide real-time updates.
