Google Chrome won't install on 17.04 [closed]

Solution 1:

Gdebi worked for me

Gdebi is a .deb package installer, that serves as an alternative to Software Center for this specific task I.e, installing .deb files.

All you need to do is install it and open your .deb files through it

To install gdebi copy and paste the command below in your terminal.

sudo apt-get install gdebi

For future use make sure to set it as default until an update fixes the issue with Software Center.

Fix has been released for this bug

Solution 2:

First that you need to setup the key and repository.

Setup key with:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - 

Setup repository with:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sou

3rd Party Repository: Google Chrome

Then use apt-get

sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

Solution 3:

There might be some dependency problem. So, what you could do is:

1. Download chrome .deb file from official chrome site
2. Open terminal in that download folder
3. in terminal run these commands:

commands

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install -f
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb 

So, the first command will try to install the package. And if there is any dependency problem, then it will fail.

Second command will force apt to automatically install all missing/required dependencies, and the bet part is you don't even need to specify anything, apt will automatically get those.

In 3rd step when you try to install chrome again, now it will be installed successfully.

You can follow these steps for all deb files.

Solution 4:

You can use the command line utility dpkg to install .deb files.

sudo dpkg -i <deb file path>
