Login Configuration for Library Managed Chromebooks

Our devices are configured to erase the last user's account information on shutdown or log off, for privacy.

• To log off: (any time you log off your user account is deleted) Long press the power button, short press the power button and select "shut down" or "log off", or select "log off" from your user picture icon on the lower right hand system menu with settings and battery etc.
• If the Chromebook is offline (no WiFi) and you sign out or shut it down (or the battery dies), you won't be able to log in again until the Chromebook is connected to WiFi. You may lose data when this happens. You cannot sign back in unless WiFi is available even if you were just signed in.
• Closing the lid on a Chromebook doesn't do anything - it does not lock, sign out, or shut down the laptop. We chose this setting (instead of having it sign out or shut down) so that people who are using the Chromebooks offline don't accidentally sign out and lose their data.
• Offline users can still lock the Chromebook and log back in without WiFi. The Chromebook does not have to be on WiFi to log in after locking because locking does not wipe user information like signing out does.

We have USB-C to HDMI/VGA adapters, mice, and more available for checkout at the Borrowing and Information Desk.

DVD Playback

Chrome OS does not have native DVD playback support. Because of the formats and file types used for DVD video, this rarely works effectively on Chromebooks and playback may be partial or sporadic.

1. Install a media player extension like VLC
2. Plug in an external DVD drive, we have them available at the Borrowing and Information Desk
3. Insert your DVD into the drive
4. From your media player, navigate to the DVD directory
5. The raw file structure of DVDs is esoteric but try to find the first files in the sequence and play them. This probably will not work at all on most DVDs.

Map Your ONID Home Directory (Z:\ Drive)

This requires that you either be on an OSU WiFi network or have the OSU VPN actively in use. Alternatively, you can access the Z:\ drive through Citrix Web Apps.

1. Install the Network File Share For Chrome OS extension from the Chrome Web Store
2. Open the Network File Share extension
3. Enter the share path \\onid-fs.onid.oregonstate.edu\username ("username" should be replaced with your ONID username)
4. Check the “My file share needs a password” box
   • Username should be your ONID username
   • Password will be your ONID password
5. Click the Mount button
6. Your home directory should now be available from the built in "Files" app

Printing

Skype on Chromebooks

The web version of Skype for Business (formerly Lync) can't be logged into through the browser with an ONID; but you can use Skype with full webcam and microphone functionality through the Citrix Workspace extension with your ONID login.

1. You can create your own account on Skype's website to use the browser based version if you want
2. To use Skype with your ONID credentials on a Chromebook (don't need to create a new account and you can use your ONID Skype contacts)
   1. Install the Citrix Workspace extension from the Chrome Web Store
   2. Open the Citrix Workspace extension from the apps menu
   3. Log in with your ONID credentials
   4. Click "Apps"
   5. Select the Skype app
   6. After the Skype app opens, you may want to use the test functionality to test webcam and microphone. Citrix may prompt for permission to use the peripherals which you will have to grant.
