[SOLVED]Google Chrome install

instructadict · 2012-08-19 20:51:06

Hi, I just installed the x64 Stable + BPO version of CB to my laptop. It is the same crunchbang install CD that I used on my desktop. On the previous install, in the desktop, running the 'Install Google Chrome' script worked perfectly, but in this case the install fails.
I also tried installing the .deb from google, but that install fails as well.
I don't want to use chromium from the repos because I can't sync bookmarks and extensions that way. Is there any way to get chrome to install?

We need more information. What exactly do you mean by "fails"?

I just tried this on my test box, and before I did an apt-get update/upgrade the install process appeared to hang at the point where it was supposed to download the package. I cancelled it and did

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and after getting and installing 34M of updates, I ran the google chrome installer again. This time it completed with no problems.

Here is the error code when I try to install the .deb:

adamweld@cb:~/downloads$ sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

The error when using the script is roughly the same. I added google-chrome to the repository:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

But it will not install, same error:

So pretty much, dpkg gives an unspecified error when trying to parse the package, no matter which install method.

Did you think this was significant?

failed in write on buffer copy for backend dpkg-deb during `./opt/google/chrome/chrome': No space left on device

Hmm, I have no idea. This is fresh install, I can't imagine running out of space on anything just yet. Also, other deb packages install perfectly fine.

Google chrome installs itself in /opt -- most other packages don't go there. What does

df -h

tell you?

I just went through a similar issue myself, and if you're content with Chromium you can get the latest version, which will sync your bookmarks.

I followed this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiIUnXRZB_A

And in the end, I got this link: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com … 64/152297/

Download the chrome-linux.zip, extract to /opt/chrome-linux/ or wherever you like, and you have a relatively recent version of Chromium, if not the latest.

this dude's got the repo for sources.list and the gpg key ref.. what I use

https://sites.google.com/site/mydebiansourceslist/

then delete the insidious one from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list or apt will squawk

Did I somehow not create a /opt partition when installing #!? I did the automatic partitioning.

What exactly do I delete from that file?

just the google-chrome.list file the chrome package installs, cuz my instructions would be adding an entry to the cenralized sources.list and not modular ones in sources.list.d, duplicates make apt squawk

sry, check my previous post, I just added the sources.list file, it's a serious resource man

oh, ls / to see if you got opt, not dh -h, thats disk usage, not folders, opt would only show up there if you put it on a separate partition

Well, I think I solved it. I did a reinstall of CB, and instead of using seperate partitions for /var /swap etc, I only used /home and /.

The / partition went up to 10 GB from 350mb, meaning that /opt got more space. Chrome installed correctly! Thanks!
