sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

Answer 2

This stuff has the same or almost the same procedure.

• run an update

  sudo apt-get update
  

• download the Debian file

  wget -c https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
  

• install the file using dpkg manager.

  sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
  sudo apt-get -f install
  

That should have you fixed with everything needed for Google Chrome installation on Ubuntu.

Answer 3

Try below;

Open a terminal (press CTRL+ALT+T) and type the following wget command to grab .deb file:

FOR 32bit

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

or if you've already downloaded the deb file, navigate to the directory using cd & type the following command;

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb

Errors will display on screen. To fix it, run below;

sudo apt-get -f install
