Install Google Chrome in Google website, double click the downloaded file, opened up in Ubuntu Software Centre, when I click Install, on the left besides install button it says "only install this file if you trust the origin"

Note: Using Ubuntu 13.10 64bit

You could try installing from the command line:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
dpkg -i ./google-chrome*.deb
apt-get install -f

Note that this url assumes you are running a 64 bit OS.

google-chrome-stable (32-bit version) depends on lib32gcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1)

However, ubuntu 13.10 has no lib32gcc1. It only has libgcc1 or libx32gcc1 or lib64gcc1.

It appears that the 32-bit version of chrome cannot be installed on the 32-bit version of ubuntu 13.10.

There are dependency problems trying to install Chrome on 13.10, libxss1 . I suggest contacting Google for support.

In the meantime you can install libxss1 (software centre or from command) and Chrome will install. I did:

sudo apt-get install libxss1

Then Chrome installed fine.

  • That didn't do the thing for me. I had it already installed (no idea why) but chrome still won't install. I'm defaulting to chromium until this problem is resolved. – Silviu Oct 21 '13 at 21:04
  • Silviu, Ubuntu 13.10 64bit ? – NGRhodes Oct 22 '13 at 09:49
  • NGRhodes, i might have forgotten that this question is about the 64bit version. I'm running Ubuntu on 32 bit. I tried to install libxss1 but it said it's already installed. – Silviu Oct 23 '13 at 08:42
  • @Silviu Make it executable before using Software Center. – mchid Mar 15 '14 at 16:03
