Re: Install Google Chrome


Hope this is readable your end - barely readable this end and the thread
is broken. Don't think I ever used a worse MUA than ATMail

It's not in squeeze-backports - it's in google. (don't know 'where' you
got that from)

You have not added the google repository to your sources.list/s

You don't have squeeze-backports enabled anyway (which is good, it'd
break your Wheezy system).

1. As root, copy and paste the following block of text into a terminal:-

echo "### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |
apt-key add -
# Google Chrome repo http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list


That will create a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
containing the location of the google repositories.

2. As root, copy and paste the following code into a terminal:-
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |
apt-key add -

That will download the Google code signing key and add it to your system

3. As root, copy and paste the following code into a terminal:-
apt-get update

That will update the apt database with the list of packages available at
the repositories listed in /etc/apt/sources.list and any files called
*.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d
Your system will then know about the google-chrome package

4. Finally, as root copy and paste the following code into a terminal:-
apt-get install google-chrome stable


Kind regards

Thanks -

This is what I get:

root@meow:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main


root@meow:/# wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |
> apt-key add -
OK

root@meow:/# wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |apt-key add -
OK
root@meow:/# apt-get install google-chrome stable
