Cannot Install Google Chrome. How do I fix it?

You can fix this by installing missing dependencies.
Just run the following command
(after you have run sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb).

sudo apt-get install -f

This will install missing dependencies and configure Google Chrome for you.


You probably need to enable the "universe" repository.

  • How do I enable the "Universe" repository?

Once you enable it, update your system and you should now be able to install google-chrome-stable.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4 libnss3-1d libxss1

Why not just install Chromium from the Ubuntu repos?

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

That simple!
