Cannot Install Google Chrome. How do I fix it?

You can fix this by installing missing dependencies.
Just run the following command
(after you have run sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb).

sudo apt-get install -f

This will install missing dependencies and configure Google Chrome for you.


You probably need to enable the "universe" repository.

Once you enable it, update your system and you should now be able to install google-chrome-stable.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4 libnss3-1d libxss1

Why not just install Chromium from the Ubuntu repos?

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

That simple!


sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4 libnss3-1d libxss1

Post any error output here. If no errors, sudo dpkg -i chrome.deb again afterwards and you should be good.


Running apt --fix-broken install did the trick for me.
