Are you facing any similar issue while installing Google Chrome on ubuntu 11.10 ? No problem ! now I found the solution to fix this issue on Ubuntu 11.10. Follow below steps to fix the chrome installation errors on Ubuntu 11.10 Linux.
- Step 1: Download Google Chrome from here : http://www.google.com/chrome
- Step 2: Open a Terminal window in Ubuntu 11.10 and go to the folder where you downloaded the Google Chrome installation file.
If your Google chrome installation file downloaded to the “downloads” folder, type same as below in the terminal window.
| 1 | cd Downloads |
Now, issue the following two commands to first try installing Chrome and next to fix the dependencies :
| 1 2 |
sudo dpkg -i package-name sudo apt-get -f install |
Replace “package-name” with the name of the downloaded file… in my case I downloaded the 32bit version of Google Chrome for debian, For example “google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb”
| 1 2 |
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb sudo apt-get -f install |
You are done ! Go to the menu and launch Google Chrome! I think Ubuntu team need to look on this issue other wise they will lose some Google Fans.
