I want to install Google Chrome onto a linux OS that i just used for my chromebook. However, i tried to download it from chrome, using the specified downloader, the .dbe, but whenever i try to install it everything runs smoothly until i get an error message saying that it failed to completely install all of the dependencies. It says to run
"sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal window. So thats exactly what i did, then after it finished. i tried to run it again, but i gave me the same error message, so i restarted my chromebook, preinstalled the dependencies from the command, then tried running the chrome setup again. but it just keeps giving me the same error message im really new to linux and i don't know what to do please help.

Nevermind i solved it, I was using the 32 bit version instead of the 64 bit version. I reran the applications and it all worked out.

Cool, glad you got it figured out. If you would, please mark this thread as "SOLVED" by clicking on "Thread Tools" directly above your initial post. Thanks!

there are many problem reports running google "chrome" (browser or linux or both)

this post makes it sound like "installing google chrome on a given laptop is a two-click ordeal. just delete microsoft or ubuntu/redhat and it will all go easily." but problem reports on internet of not just recent but many past releases PROVE OTHERWISE ...

"problem installing google chrome" ... About 2,050,000 results

... "does not install on ubuntu" "does not install on CentOS" "does not install on Windows" "does not install on redhat" ...

note google got it all (chrome from mozilla, mozilla from netscape / mosiac, linux from linux, and OS from debian). they've hacked it and are probalby sure to hack it in ways to insure only they can make (ie cell phone releases, laptop products) using it.

"go buy one" is going to be my guess is what their "support answer is"

i'm marking this post as SPAM posted by google, to promote that something works "in two clicks" which they know doesn't - and probably did design so that it WOULDNT for competitive reasons
