No PPA Google Chrome-stable SOLVED

Post by stevengarland »

Because Chromium no longer coordinates with Google I added Google Chrome-stable. It works just fine but I see no PPA? Will that keep it from updating. How to get PPA at this point?

I already did that, Chrome stable is up and running.

I could have asked the question better:

I installed Chrome-stable using the deb option rather than the ppa option, thus I have no ppa listed in software. The question is whether Chrome -stable installed by deb will update as software updates???

Hello, StevenGarland.

Execute the terminal command

Code: Select all

inxi -r
It should list, in addition to the normal Linux Mint software repositories, a Google Chrome repositoy.
In Software Sources it will be found under "Additonal Package Sources".
Only developer repositories, hosted on Launchpad, are referred to as "PPAs".

Best regards,
Karl

Still using Chromium (90.0.4430.212) as installed via Flatpak. However it now appears to have lost the ability to store passwords. It offers to save them when I fill in the login details for various sites. But if I logout I then I have to complete the details once again. Maybe it's time to ditch it and move back to Firefox, which doesn't have such an issue.
