Cannot Install Google Chrome

I am having trouble installing Google Chrome on my Ubuntu 11.10 system. After downloading it from http://www.google.com/chrome I am trying to open it with a double click. Software Center pops up, I see the loading wheel, then I get a message that the package cannot be opened. Any help would be appreciated.

Solution 1:

Fire up a terminal using Control+Alt+T, then write:

sudo dpkg --install /Path/to/chrome.deb

Ignore the errors, then:

sudo apt-get install -f

Then again:

sudo dpkg --install /Path/to/chrome.deb

The Google Chrome package is missing dependencies; this installs those dependencies. You should be able to install the package.

Solution 2:

Open a terminal using Ctrl + Alt + T and run:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - 
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

Solution 3:

In order to install Google Chrome you have to run this command in the terminal :

sudo apt-get install libxss1 libnspr4-0d libcurl3

Or just manually install those 3 packages :

• libxss1
• libnspr4-0d
• libcurl3

And then you can install Google Chrome (I've got the same problem at my first install).

Hope this helps :D
