Just updated my ASUS CN62 i3 to Version 68.0.3440.87 (Official Build) (64-bit) with a build date of Thursday, August 02, 2018. My Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015) is still on Version 67.0.3396.99 (Official Build) (64-bit).

The updates roll out over a series of days. Different device models will often not receive the update on the same day. In fact, it could be up to a week or so between different models.

What happened to fixing the problem with Chromebook not waking up from sleep when you open the lid? Acer C720, have not received the update yet, but don't that fix in the list of bugs fixed.

The best way to know when a build is ready-to-download for your Chromebook is to check this spreadsheet:
https://cros-omahaproxy.appspot.com/
Find your machine in the sheet, and it will identify which dev, beta, or stable build is currently ready.

My Acer C720 isn't accepting 68.0.3440.87. A powerwash didn't correct the problem, I'm waiting until the update icon appears before I file a bug report.

I left out a word in my post. I said I don't see the fix for the bug about Chromebook not waking up from sleep when the lid is raised, in the list of bug fixes in the update. My post was not about when my Acer C720 will get the update.

So I waited until the update icon appeared on its own and restarted. My device still shows I'm on 67.0.3396.99.

This is the same as the beta version released last week, and which is still not installing on Acer C720s.

Well, this update isn't completing on Acer C720 for me either: After the requested restart it's still on 67.0.3396.99 and the update tries to install again (and again etc).

Same issue here with an Acer C720p: it's still in 67.0.3396.99 even though I have upgraded several times...

As per Jim Dantin at the Google Product Forum, there's a bug and it's being worked on.

I don't see any mention of Linux.

Starting in May many articles touted loading Linux in a VM on Chrome OS on some hardware (I have a Pixelbook) with stable support in 68.

Am I missing something? I don't even see how to install it.

Please folks stop complaining about a update that's every one knows is coming in a week or two. That's very normal process as you must know by now.
As someone posted you can check your Chromebook here https://cros-updates-serving.appspot.com if you don't see an update for your Chromebook you probably get in next week 😀 my Acer 14 Chromebook nearly always gets it a week later when a new update arrived.

pr, thanks for the info. How could I have found that out myself?

@Sue, I have the same issue, my Toshiba 2015 didn't wake from sleep after the last update, I still didn't get 68, so I'm hoping that we will get the update and it fixes the problem.
In the meantime I was running beta and it was working fine. I'll wait a few more days and then go back to beta.

Ridiculous...shelving access to external storage (e.g. microSD / USB) for apps until builds 69 or 70+. They are adding all these features when the one BIG feature that would make Chromebooks stupendously popular, they won't do. Makes ZERO sense...

I'm with the other Acer C720 owners. Mine will not accept the 68 update. Keeps reverting back to the latest stable 67.

I have the Lenovo Flex 11 - 68 dropped today, but I am at work. Will have to check and see if it is doing the same thing when I get home, as it seems other models seem to be having issues with this build...here's hoping!

C720 here. Still not accepting the update.

Acer Chromebook 14 CB3 431 just got this update..

I don't like the new menu bar look for convertibles, having a search bar, tabs, and shortcut buttons that are 50% wider and taller than before.

While you can temporarily change this through chrome://flags "UI Layout for the browser's top chrome" set to "Normal", it's easier for me to just switch to full screen.

Ironically the result has been that I'm using Chrome browser menu bar less and shortcuts more. That's the same as what happened when the Shelf was Android-ified and the Launcher app groups were screwed up.

From what I can tell, the workings mode I'm now using is close to the earliest Chrome OS interface. Talk about a a[gainst leap backward!!

Hello, my Acer Chromebook 14 CB3 431 just got the Chrome OS 68 update but doesn't have any of the new features listed... like Material 2.0 and the new PIN sign-in support.

I have a Chromebook Acer 14 CB3 431 and like someone write about the lack of some features as this update should bring. There's as i can see none features or anything else changed in this update.as i see it no change at all. I've tested beta and dev channel and none of the features from those channels are in stable channel. So this update is just for keeping us confused and more irritated as days goes by.😅

I've only had this update for 2 days but so far it appears to have fixed the problem I had on my Tosh 2 2015 after the last update. It wouldn't wake from sleep, I'd have to shut it down by hand and then boot it back up so I was using it in beta. Since the update, so far, so good in stable, knock wood.

Can anyone define "Systems will be receiving updates over the next several days"? I still haven't seen this update on a new Google Pixelbook. Thanks!

no more loop in update for my ACER 720P on stable channel. Stay now in 67.

As a geek I understand things go wrong with a release and finding that last bug can take longer than you ever imagined. OTOH, there is a responsibility on the part of the dev team to communicate the status of a release, especially one that has been pulled back.

It happens, but can someone let us know what is going on? Other than the list of what is available on each platform, is there another place to get updates? What happened? What's the current estimate when it will be re-released?
