[SOLVED] Lite Software - Chrome Error

[Scott(0)]

@Jerry/Misko
Just some friendly feedback. On LL2.2/64 I'm getting an error when attempting to install Chrome via Lite Software.

Getting same error on LL2.2/32bit.

Just to verify for 32bit.

Thanks for reporting this Scot and Avj.
I'm not currentlz getting that error.

Check google-chrome.list
To display the contents of that file run

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

Should look like this:

Code:

### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

Try running sudo apt-get update before installing Chrome.

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Updating package info did the trick on my end. That is one of the things I always forget, it would be nice if it could do this automatically, after selecting which packages to install in install additional software.

Every time that I start my computor I update my system , it s an habit that I have taken from my beginnings on Linux .

& LL have a nice updating script .

[avj]

Coming from windows I usually have the habit of waiting to make sure updates don't cause unexpected problems. Some habits are hard to break. 

[altman]

Yep , you can update once a week , it will be all right mate .

Coming from Debian Unstable , where dist-upgrades were kind of some hell sometimes , it s easy on LL .

Package repos will be updated first in the next version of Lite Software

That is great, thank you.

Just installed Chrome successfully with Lite Software. I have no idea why it failed before and worked now. Initially I used "apt-get update" when it failed and used it again just now and it worked. The only difference is the computer was restarted between attempts and the attempts were eight hours apart. It's a mystery.
