Ubuntu

Chrome browser installation

Asked by peterzay

After downloading the deb package from the Google site, I open the deb with software center.

Click on install and nothing happens.

There is a ? icon in the launcher with a progress bar but no progress. I never get any authentication screens as expected.

This 64 bit package will not install on this 64 bit Ubuntu 16.04.

Any suggestions?

Try:

sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/*.deb; sudo apt-get -f install

sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/*.deb failed due to dependency problems.

Once resolved, it worked fine.

Thanks.
