Re: Chrome with Cinnamon
Packages are tested upstream by Debian/Ubuntu - Mint certainly haven't tested every single package in the repos to see if they work well with Mint, greatly understaffed for that.

Re: Chrome with Cinnamon
The previous comment by phlux provided the answer for me. I'm using a fresh copy/update of LMDE & Cinnamon. The problem was going to Google.com website, and manually downloading/installing the AMD64 .deb wouldn't put a shortcut in the main Cinnamon menu. The browser would work and could be called via terminal... but that is annoying.
Using phlux's suggestion, I removed my previous install, and added the repository via:
I also installed Chromium via: sudo apt-get install chromium; Why both? It's nice sometimes to have two Chromes, each with its own saved cookie environment; eg work and personal.
Using phlux's suggestion, I removed my previous install, and added the repository via:
Code: Select all
sudo apt sources;
sudo apt-get update;
# I saw this error after running apt-get update, by the way, although it didn't stop anything from being installed:
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main amd64 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-amd64_Packages)
W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable/main i386 Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/dl.google.com_linux_chrome_deb_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packages)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
# then I was able to install one of three Chrome variations, but ONLY one can be installed at the same time.
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable;
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable;
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-beta;
# I went with beta ... I like having Chrome Canary on my Windows 7 installation...
