[Bug 868188] Re: Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable
Confirmed for me as well on a fresh install of 11.10. A typical user will simply double click the .deb file downloaded from http://google.com/chrome and get this window (see attachment) in lieu of the usual Ubuntu Software Center screen. Problem is solved by using the `sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb && sudo apt-get -f install` trick, but I don't want to resort to that to get it working. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot at 2011-10-14 13:18:11.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/868188/+attachment/2545221/+files/Screenshot%20at%202011-10-14%2013%3A18%3A11.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868188 Title: Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/868188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 868188] Re: Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable
can confirm this on a fresh oneiric release on both 64-bit and 32-bit, no encrypted homedir. Freshly install the OS, download google chrome stable and try to double click on it; as reported above, software centre opens and shows that message and no offered actions to resolve the situation. I managed to get it installed through a lot of messing about with synaptic. (next and last machine to install, i try the dpkg -i ; apt-get -f install method above.) Clearly software center should be able to do this and resolve the dependencies. To reproduce: Freshly install oneiric desktop; try to install google chrome by downloading and opening the debfile from google. seems completely repeatable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868188 Title: Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/868188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry. I tried again this evening and now I cannot rproduce what I tought I had got first. I still cannot install even in an unencrypted folder. The live sessions are ok, btw. So, nevermind.

My sole Oneiric install is 64-bit and using an encrypted home directory, so I cannot check this.

@Miguel Fernandez: Sorry, I can confirm this is **not** the case. I have had this issue appearing on two machines (Dell laptop and VirtualBox VM). Both 64bit, but neither have the home directories encrypted.

[Bug 868188] Re: Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable
I have had this issue also. I'm usning amd64 version. Just today I was testing the daily build and I noted that I can install from the live session but not after installing to HDD. I have a separate / and /home partitions as logicals inside an extended partition. I tried reinstalling and unchecking the 'encrypt home directory' option and now i can install chrome, opera and other debs. I reinstalled and checked the 'encrypt home directory' option and again i get the 'Internal error. the file ***.deb could tot be opened. It's not so much an Ubuntu software center issue because it also happens with gdebi. I have tried 'gksu gdebi-gtk' and the issue is still the same. It seems that the issue is quite popular and i think bug reports 858246 854164 869685868188 are duplicated of the same. So, short version: It happens on amd64 and with thome directory encrypted.

A nicer workaround is to do: dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb and apt-get -f install which makes apt-get install the depencies and configure google chrome I am also affected by this bug, see also http://askubuntu.com/q/64384/1418 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868188 Title: Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/868188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

A workaround I just found: use apt-get to install libnspr4-0d and libxss1 (Chrome depends on these), then use dpkg -i to install the downloaded .deb file for Chrome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868188 Title: Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/868188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've been getting this problem with Oneiric ever since Beta 1. 11.10 releases in three days and I still haven't been able to get my preferred browser running on this machine due to this bug. Considering that Google Chrome is pretty popular, there will be major issues if this doesn't get fixed soon. For now, all I get is the same error message shown in Mark's screenshot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868188 Title: Software Center cannot open external .deb file google-chrome-stable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/868188/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
