I c/p'ed both of those lines of code then uninstalled Chrome. I'll either reinstall Chrome or see what the the code below does. Thanks.

If I c/p that code, will it reinstall Chrome or do I need to install Chrome THEN run that code? Or reinstall Chrome and disregard that code? Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Monkeyman - 03-09-2016 (03-08-2016, 02:23 PM)torreydale link Wrote:...reinstall Chrome via Lite Software. When I try to install Chrome via Lite Software, I get this error: "Error Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable". I can run updates just fine. What am I missing? Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Wirezfree - 03-09-2016 Hi, It maybe just a sequence thing, or maybe Lite Software now needs an update because of Google fix Jerry noted.?? Try this: Open a terminal, and run the initial commands again: Code: sudo sed -i -e 's/deb http/deb [arch=amd64] http/' "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list" Then do: Code: sudo apt-get update Do you see any errors..??, If YES, post here, otherwise: Menu > Favourites > Install Updates Do you see any errors..??, If YES, post here, otherwise: Menu > System > Lite Software Then try to install Chrome again, does it now install.?? Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Monkeyman - 03-09-2016 Still won't install although: Menu>System>Lite Software shows it installed. Menu>Internet doesn't show it. EDIT: I get the same error message when I try to uninstall Chrome and it continues to show that it's installed. Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Wirezfree - 03-09-2016 Hi, open a terminal and type: Code: google-chrome-stable Does it start.? Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Monkeyman - 03-09-2016 Nope. I get "command not found". Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Wirezfree - 03-09-2016 O.K, So Lite Software thinks it's installed, but it seems it's not. I think it needs a comment from somebody in the know... Out of interest, How does it show in Synaptic, search for: google-chrome-stable Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - torreydale - 03-09-2016 At this point, it may behoove you to just install Chrome via their website. Download and run the 64-bit *.deb file. I think it can be found here: https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html# Re: Fix for Google Chrome on Linux Lite - Monkeyman - 03-09-2016 Synaptic shows Chromium but not Chrome. I work nights so I'm off to bed. Thanks for your help. Maybe someone else will check in. |
