[See attached screenshot]

I have tried changing to several different mirrors, but I still keep getting this error! What's going on?

Google Chrome error. Have it?

I'd try again in an hour and see if you get the same error.

Software Sources in the menu.
Disable the Chrome repo.
Update system.
Re-enable Chrome repo.
Wait.

Google changed the key and you have to update it with the following command:

Code:

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

I never needed to do any of that noise.
https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/

download, install. enjoy, going on > 3 years now.
Maybe, one key error about a year ago.

What version is this "Mint"?
32 bit architecture? IF so, you are S.O.L., as Chrome32 bit is no more.

I've recently had the problem on two Debian 9(64 bit chrome) boxes and two *buntu(64 bit chrome) boxes. Google has changed the key for some reason and if you are using key-based authentication as debian based distros do, you need to update the key or you will get the error shown in the original post.

That did it, thank you!
