    How to re-install Google Chrome

    Hi all,

    Ubuntu 24.04

    From time to time, warning popup advises me to re-install Chrome.

    I found following link:
    How to Install Google Chrome on Ubuntu 24.04
    https://www.liberiangeek.net/2024/04...-ubuntu-24-04/

    Please advise whether it works. Alternatively are there other suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards

    Should work, if I want Chrome I use apt install for the installation though, just preference.

    Code:
    wget -P /home/hugh/Downloads/ https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo apt install /home/hugh/Downloads/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

    Hi@howefield.

    Thanks for your advice.

    I would try your version to re-install Google Chrome.

    Do I need to uninstall the running Google Chrome first ?

    Regards

    I would, but I do not understand why you are not getting an update through the package manager, do you not have the google chrome repository in your system?

    +1 for the wget command. You can get fancy and add the repo and key manually, but the deb does all that for you

    Hi@howefield,

    I have run periodically;
    $ sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade
    Code:
    ........
    Calculating upgrade... Done
    Get more security updates through Ubuntu Pro with 'esm-apps' enabled:
      libcjson1 libavdevice60 ffmpeg libpostproc57 libavcodec60 libavutil58
      libswscale7 libswresample4 libavformat60 libavfilter9
    Learn more about Ubuntu Pro at https://ubuntu.com/pro
    The following upgrades have been deferred due to phasing:
      file-roller python3-distupgrade ubuntu-pro-client
      ubuntu-pro-client-l10n ubuntu-release-upgrader-core
      ubuntu-release-upgrader-gtk
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
    It doesn't show that Google Chrome needs to update/upgrade

    Hi@dragonfly41,

    Whether you meant on Terminal running following command one by one

    $ sudo synaptic
    $ search google

    ?

    Sorry, I shot from the hip while in a busy moment.

    [1] Launch Synaptic Package Manager GUI (you might need to install it first if not in use) either through terminal (sudo synaptic) or Top left of desktop toolbar > Activities > Synaptic.

    [2] Use Search button top right in Synaptic GUI and search google-chrome

    [3] See google-chrome-stable (a least that is what I see)

    [4] Right click on google-chrome-stable for options and properties.

    Hi@dragonfly41,

    I have Synaptic Package Manager installed
    1) Start Synaptic Package Manager
    2) Search google-chrome

    Search result : no package selected

    It is very strange.

    Regards
