google-chrome
I had problems with Google Chrome on Ubuntu 14.04 so I uninstalled it. Now, when I'm trying to install the 32bit version from the google website, I keep getting an error 404. I have tried other suggestions from other questions asked here but none of them work. I either get the same error in the terminal or:
Unable to locate package google-chrome-stable
I'm not a computer programmer so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Help, please?
Looks like your sources file is corrupted and there are broken packages. Remove the corrupted source file by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T to open a terminal, and type in:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list
Then, type in
sudo software-properties-gtk
This will open software-properties-gtk and a new sources.list will be created automatically.
Then change the server to US or to any other server of your choice. You must enable repositories from the new dialog in order to create new sources.list.
Tick all the boxes then click on Revert then click close.
How do I restore the default repositories?
Step 2 Open up a Terminal and type in
sudo apt-get remove --purge google-chrome-stable
Then run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
Then install Chrome.
Edit
I joined Sunny in a chat to help him fix the problem and deleting /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/google-chrome by running
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/google-chrome
and running
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
has fixed the problem and Sunny has said that the errors are not happening any more.
Workaround (symlink the nss libraries into /usr/lib/nss):
sudo ln -st /usr/lib "$(uname -i)-linux-gnu/nss"

This is because Google have stoped support for Chrome in 32-bit linux distros.
You should try Chromium or Opera of other browser Or
You should Install Ubuntu 64-bit.
