@deejay Split topic - Package issue not LL upgrade...

May be something with googles repo; could try again later or temporarily remove this one and rerun updates...

"Software and Updates" under the "Other Software" tab.. Then try running updates again

Many tnx for your reply. Still no different. Also, I seem to be missing the 'Brave cache' listing on the Lite Tweaks listing and the Lite welcome is still showing the 'Install Now' button when my Xfce terminal is showing LL5.6?

Hi firenice03

Many tnx for your reply but made no difference. Terminal confirms that it is 5.6 but the anomalies are:
The linux lite welcome splash screen still shows with the install button active. Why, as I've installed 5.6 as confirmed by the terminal?
The Brave cache listing in the lite tweaks isn't there?
This may be nothing but it's still coming up as system up to date?
And the new package update indicator is there in the taskbar but clicking the install updates is greyed out?

@deejay...
You've gone to Software and Updates..can type from menu
And unselected the Google repo? Look in the 1st 2 or 3 tabs...
Uncheck it, save and rerun..

If not..
We'll want to look at your sources.
View the file or cat and post the out...
I'm mobile but I believe...
Code: [Select]
/etc/apt/sources.list

It looks like the repo changed, and it is no longer available in that location/server. If you follow the link https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb in a web browser, you'll get a 404 error. I suggest downloading Chrome  https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chrome/ disable the current repo, and reinstalling it, that way you'll get the correct/current repository.

Hi guys

Many tnx for your replies. Absolute newb in linux so please forgive my ignorance.

1st, going into terminal and typing in code provided, I get this:
dj  ~  /etc/apt/sources.list

bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
 dj  ~  126  

RE google chrome: yes, it is a 404 but how do I disable the current repo, and then reinstall it?

Hi guys

Many tnx for your replies. Absolute newb in linux so please forgive my ignorance.

1st, going into terminal and typing in code provided, I get this:
dj  ~  /etc/apt/sources.list

bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
 dj  ~  126 

RE google chrome: yes, it is a 404 but how do I disable the current repo, and then reinstall it?

First, for the permission denied, you need to do this:
1. Launch Linux Lite terminal, and type
Code: [Select]
cat /etc/apt/sources.list hit Enter
2. Check the output, copy and paste it in your reply.
However, I think Chrome creates a file called google-chrome.list, and it is located in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to verify whether that's the case, in a terminal run
Code: [Select]
ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d
To learn how to disable the repo, read here https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/installing-software/can-linux-lite-be-updated-when-using-persistent-live-usb-version/msg56529/#msg56529

This file google-chrome.list should be in /etc/apt/sources.list.d, so you could try editing that file, and disable the repo:
1. Launch Linux Lite terminal and type
Code: [Select]
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list hit Enter, type in your password when asked, and hit Enter again. You should see something like this
Code: [Select]
### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
First, check that deb is followed by  [arch=amd64], if it isn't, you might try adding that part, and see if that fixes it, otherwise disable the repo by commenting the line that starts with deb, so it looks like this:
Code: [Select]
### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
# deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
Once you do that, hit Ctrl + o and Enter to save the changes, and Ctrl + x to close nano.
2. Update repos
Code: [Select]
sudo apt update3. Download, and update Chrome  https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/chrome/ once you do, the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list will be recreated.

Hmmm ... Launch Linux Lite Terminal and type this
Code: [Select]
ls /ect/apt and if the file google-chrome.list shows up, then proceed to edit it following the instructions in my previous post
Code: [Select]
sudo nano /etc/apt/google-chrome.list Also, read here to learn how to properly format text in your post by using the WYSIWYG toolbar https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/tutorials/on-making-threads-using-the-toolbar(or-hotkeys)/msg56106/#msg56106

@deejay


At this point you may better off uninstalling and reinstalling...
The following command will search and confirm the chrome package installed..
Code: [Select]
apt list --installed |grep chrome

You should see something similar..

Quote
google-chrome-stable/stable,now 93.0.4577.63-1 amd64 [installed]


To REMOVE - if stable else replace as needed
Code: [Select]
sudo apt remove google-chrome-stable

From FIREFOX or another browser - navigate to https://www.google.com/chrome/
Download the .DEB package once downloaded you can double click the file to launch the installer....
It will be GUI based = follow the prompts..
