Question

Update google chrome on ubuntu 22.04.1 - How to correctly update google chrome on ubuntu 22.04.1?

Answer 1

Chrome can be installed with simply typing sudo apt install google-chrome-stable in the terminal, and this works for the upgrade as well. If this method fails, try to reinstall it with sudo apt reinstall google-chrome-stable. If that solution produces an error, try to get DEBs from the official site, open them with „Software Install”, click the remove button and then install it again. The /opt/google/chrome folder is not deleted, so your data is kept.

After investigation on internet, I found the solution:

1. crtl+alt+T to open Ubuntu terminal
2. sudo apt update recommended by Ubuntu https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2023/02/24/ubuntu-22-04-2-lts-released/ (thanks @guiverc)
3. sudo apt upgrade to install new packages
4. google-chrome-stable -version to check the currently installed Google Chrome version
5. sudo apt --only-upgrade install google-chrome-stable to update Google Chrome - https://linuxgenie.net/update-google-chrome-ubuntu-22-04/
