I downloaded google chrome 32-bit version deb file

and then use ubuntu software center (following How to install Google Chrome)

but it doesnt work

then I noticed that I made a mistake in downloading the wrong version

so I downloaded the 64-bit version

however, I can't install this deb

why?

and I tried 

    sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
    [sudo] password for nanger:
    (reading database ..。)

  • @ARUL: I would say that's an answer, so Could you please convert that to an answer so that schmucks like me who go around hunting for unanswered questions don't have to look at this one any more. ;-) (And I'll upvote if you drop me a note and it's a good one too!) – Fabby Jan 23 '15 at 13:04

First you have to remove chrome 32-bit already installed, for that go to Ubuntu Software Center and search for chrome. When you find it select it, and you can see Remove option.

By clicking remove you can remove the unwanted version, now you can install needed 64-bit version.

Easy way to install Chrome 64-bit version .deb, open with Ubuntu Software Center and click install.
