Ubuntu Install Google Crome
Prerequisites
Download Google Crome from here (Here)
Install Google Crome
cd Downloads
sudo apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
When I ran this on ubuntu 24.04 I got the following error.
W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/var/cache/apt/archives/partial/package_name.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
The permissions in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial where correct. And decided not to go “the let's leverage the permissions way” and keep it as it is. Chrome is working fine even if it's spilling out this error.
Some rather stupid people where suggesting editing or creating the the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10sandbox
And add sonmething like this:
APT::Sandbox::User "root";
And this is just So Wrong In So Many Ways and just shows some people should not have root access. Don't Do the above please.
Dependency Issues
You may need to resolve some dependency issues. This can be done like below.
apt-get install -f
Then try and install Google Crome again.
apt install ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
