Hello guys, just logged into my Macbook running on Ubuntu and when I launched Chrome it said it is needing an update but I don't know how to do it. I know how to do it on Peppermint but I'm stumped on Ubuntu! 

Some instructions would be very welcome!

I will in the near future take the Macbook to the computer repair blokes I know and pay them to put the latest Peppermint distro on it. Mark Greaves was right: Peppermint works better on a laptop.

I find all these updates on Chrome very annoying- why'd they keep doing this--sigh.

Another question for you, which is related. Since my Chromebook seems to be on its last update, when it is no longer working well enough for use, is it possible to clear the Chrome OS and put Peppermint on it to give it a new lease of life? I've read some people can do it.

I'm all for refurbishing laptops.

In principle, if you do a manual update that should update Chrome along with any other updates available.  There are two ways:
1. If you are using the Unity desktop (with the large icons down the LHS of your desktop) search for "Software update".  If you are using the Classic View desktop click on Applications/System-Tools/Administration/Software-Updater. 
2. To use the terminal, start a terminal session (Ctrl+Alt+T) and enter:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt updateWhen that finishes, enter

Code Select Expand

sudo apt upgrade

I am not familiar with the Chromebook, but I don't see why not - other Members may have some experience of doing so.

I am not sure which I have, but I run the commands and this is what came back:

OK so now:

Code Select Expand

sudo dpkg --configure -a....and if all is well:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt upgrade

{Sezo:  Please do jump in as I am not familiar with dpkg and this error appeared also on Matilda's other post https://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=14115.msg113100#msg113100 (https://linuxforums.org.uk/index.php?topic=14115.msg113100#msg113100)}

[SeZo]

Run the command it tells you to

Code Select Expand

sudo dpkg --configure -a
and it should be able to correct itself.

If it doesn't try running

Code Select Expand

sudo apt-get install -f
(to fix broken packages) and then try running

Code Select Expand

sudo dpkg --configure -a
again.
Just make sure you have internet access available so that you can download any dependencies.

Thank you fellas. I'll do that Sunday.  Not been using the Macbook the past few days.

I wanted to watch a series on Channel 5 online a couple of days ago and it wouldn't load. I thought my Chromebook must be too out of date, so I tried my Android tablet which is the latest version and it wouldn't work there either.

Then I accidentally got signed up to a free trial for Amazon Prime and accidentally even paid to rent a film, the next day, so what the heck, I thought I'd just watch it, cos it has Dan Stevens in it and my Chromebook seemed too out of date for that  too. I watched it on my Peppermint netbook. But- the shield icon at the bottom told me I had about 300 updates waiting! The updates on Peppermint normally only take 3 or 4 mins. This was quite a bit longer!

I'm not sure if Chrome is needing updating there still because there is a funny message at the top of the task bar which says "paused."

[Matilda]

Sorry not been around guys. I broke my knee so been in a lot of pain. I have had trouble even getting the Macbook to boot up the last time I tried it just kept going to a white screen.

[Keith]

Is this the same as your post Need to update Chrome browser on my Peppermint Netbook? Or your ChromeBook? 
It would be helpful if each post you make is for one machine, giving details of operating system and the specific problem etc. 

If your updates are very out of date, then it might be easiest to delete then re-install the Chrome browser. 

Thanks.

This is the thread for the Macbook running on Ubuntu. The new thread was for the netbook running on Peppermint as I stated in that thread. Yeah-- I would do reinstalls but I do not know how.

Never mind. I will have some money in the summer to take the Macbook to the computer repair shop and they can get rid of this shonky Ubuntu and put the latest Peppermint distro in it for me.

You forgot to update before upgrading - unless you did that but didn't post the output.  Try

Code Select Expand

sudo apt updatethen

Code Select Expand

sudo apt upgradeShouldn't take long.

Then, if Chrome is the only problem at present, try reinstalling it:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt remove chromethen

Code Select Expand

sudo install chromeBy the way; you can attach long output as a file, which makes the Forum pages easier to read.

[Matilda]

Thank you Keith. I don't understand all these commands you know! I just put them into the terminal. Well I did used to attach files but Mark Greaves told me not to do that. I think he said it would risk viruses on the board or something.

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  libllvm11
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.

I didn't do the last command because I don't know if the sudo upgrade has worked or not.

[Keith]

That looks good.
Just to tidy up first - use "autoremove" to dispose of code it no longer needs:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt autoremoveNow enter these last two commands of post #10:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt remove chromeand

Code Select Expand

sudo apt install chromeand post the output.

The macbook has died Keith, so thanks anyway. It's gone to the white screen of death, the useless piece of junk! I have started a new thread for how to update Chrome on my Peppermint netbook.

[Keith]

Sorry to hear that Matilda.  Better luck next time.
