I just installed a completely fresh system in a VM with Ubuntu Server 18.04. The only extra package I selected on OS installation was PostgreSQL 10. Then after a restart I upgraded everything:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Now I tried this:

sudo apt install chromium-browser

And got some text that implies that the package is missing (can't copy the text out of the VMware window). What's up here? Is Ubuntu already broken on installation? Do I need other obscure package sources?

  • Enable the universe repo? – DK Bose Oct 09 '18 at 13:09

    Did this: sudo add-apt-repository universe, then the package is there. – ygoe Oct 09 '18 at 13:15

  • Thanks, Chromium is installed and works as intended (headless). – ygoe Oct 09 '18 at 13:38
  • Possible, but you first have to know that you're looking for the universe repository to ask the other question. Actually, this question has already been answered now. – ygoe Oct 10 '18 at 06:36
