I'm new to Linux and I want to use it as my main os but I got a problem while installing apps

For example I type :

sudo apt install chromium-browser

It says unable to locate package

I know it's so basic and did not searched for it too much

  • Packages are built for a release, you've not provided yours thus we'll be guessing somewhat (we'll only know your OS & release details if you tell us). For my release, the package is found in universe, thus have you enabled universe? FYI: "universe" are where community sourced packages are stored; as they have a lower security factor, plus less support life (for some releases) they're not enabled by default for some install media. – guiverc Oct 02 '23 at 08:25

Yeah it was my problem too when I switched to ubuntu

It just got solved by running :

sudo apt update

But if you still have problem you may need to open software and update application and change the main server to usa

  • +1, FYI: Only the U.S.A folks would get the option of U.S.A in the mirror lost, others might get different servers. – Error404 Oct 02 '23 at 08:29
