How to fix 'Check your Internet connection' error in software center?
I want to install Google Chrome, i.e., Chromium, on Ubuntu 11.10.
I went to the Software Center, and then tried to install Chromium.
But the error shown was check your Internet connection but the net was working fine.
Then do this,
To install Google Chrome in Ubuntu , press Ctrl – Alt – T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When Terminal opens, run the commands below to add Google repository key.
wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list
When the file opens, add the below line and save it.
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main
finally
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
It's just a simple thing. Go to https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/. Click on download and save the file.
Open terminal (ctrl+alt+T) and just type
sudo dpkg -i
Drag and drop .deb package you downloaded and enter. Give user password and your Chrome will be installed.
