My board has Ubuntu Linux 16.04.6, and I am trying to install google chrome by using the process described here.

Two first steps are going smoothly:

1) wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
2) echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

However the third step gets many failures

3) sudo apt-get update

root@localhost:~# apt-get update

There are many responses to similar issues in the web that refer to dns problems (I tried almost all the proposed solutions/workarounds), but since ping to the domains that get temporary failures resolving ('ports.ubuntu.com', 'dl.google.com', 'mirrors.ustc.edu.cn',...) work properly, it does not seem that this is the right root cause.

root@localhost:~# ping ports.ubuntu.com
PING ports.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.150) 56(84) bytes of data.

Any help to investigate this problem is appreciated.

  • Does this help? https://askubuntu.com/questions/91543/apt-get-update-fails-to-fetch-files-temporary-failure-resolving-error – Ollie Jun 18 '20 at 22:36
  • I saw this but it does not really help. The only one that seems relevant is answer 7 but I am missing some knowledge how to write the script. – Gaston Jun 18 '20 at 22:54
