THaaaannnXx TO Bud :* :* it really Help’s Thanks again
hello there, i cant update my Google Chrome on Ubuntu 14.04…
Sorry – not every is trusting google …
Second: chrome has a sandbox system for every tab – so it is memory hungry and NOT a light weight browser.
And take a look on a defintion for a ” multi user environment” …..
whoooiiiee.. worked for me..!
Thanks for the help.
Or maybe just
sudo echo “deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main” >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
for the second command? I’m not sure why we’re needlessly complicating things by calling a shell from a shell.
I tried- got permission error on writing to file.
Because when you do sudo command >> file.txt you’re doing 2 operatuins: a) executing `command` under sudo permissions b) writing output of that command into file.txt. The problem if you do it simply by `sudo command >> file.txt` than sudo will NOT apply to actual operation of writing to `file.txt` and you will get permisson errror.
echo “deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
thanks…gonna try it now
Thanks for the help. Worked perfectly for me. I was able to successfully install chrome once again.
Noone should trust google chrome.
