My hotmail no longer works i can read and delete but am unable to write any text or attach anything. Hotmail tell me i need to upgrade either google chrome or firefox. I have tried both but get the error messages below. Can you help with this.
When I went to install G Chrome it came up with

Error resolving dependencies
with this message below

Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.11) is needed by package google-chrome-stable
Missing Dependency: libnss3.so(NSS_3.12.3) is needed by package google-chrome-stable
Missing Dependency: lsb >= 4.0 is needed by package google-chrome-stablecp:

When i tried Mozilla Fire Fox I got this error message

`/tmp/firefox-9.0.1.tar-1.bz2' and `/tmp/firefox-9.0.1.tar-1.bz2' are the same file
Thank you Jill

Welcome to the forums! Please tell us which Linux distribution or "distro" you are using (Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware, Mint, etc) so we can give you the correct instructions.

Thank you for your reply, I am sorry but i don't know the answer to this, can you tell me how to find out

Did you buy your computer with Linux pre-installed? If so, what brand/model of computer?

Yes Linux was already installed it is an Acer aspire net book model ZG5 i got it in 2009 but think it may be a 2008 version

That model of Aspire One shipped with Windows XP... Linux must have been installed after-market.

If you're not sure which distro you're using, typing

into a terminal screen usually shows the distro name after the kernel version.

How did you install Chrome? Did you install it from their site or use the package manager?

I believe that your computer came with a distribution called "Linpus" that is now obsolete. I recommend you install a currently-supported Linux such as Mint or Ubuntu; then you will have no problem installing the latest Chrome.

Here are some recent discussions about Linpus:

Headrift
I went to the terminal window and typed uname -r and this is what it came up with

2.6.23.9lw

My son works for Esplex in UK now Asplex in Poland and they ship parts and computer for Acer. I am fairly certain it is Linux

The Google Chrome I downloaded from their site as the hotmail wasn't working properly

Thank you

Okay, thank you for checking... that is a Linpus kernel.

Linpus is like Fedora, but doesn't seem to have a package manager. I think the best I can do is refer you to this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...stions-671372/

Judging from the errors you listed above, it sounds like Chrome is too new for some of the packages Linpus has, and the only thing I can think of to do (short of installing a new distro) is to update the existing one, which may or may not work.

Best of luck.
