[Discuss] Ubuntu: "This version of Chrome is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser."

[Murray Strome]

Lately,  on Chrome there was a yellow banner at the top that reads, 
"This version of Chrome is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a 
supported browser."

Yet my system was up-to-date; running sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get 
upgrade pulled no updates for Chrome.

I've read that Google stopped supporting Chrome on 32-bit Linux but my 
system is 64-bit so I would not have expected that to be an issue.

To fix this, in a terminal:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] 
http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" > 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

See this article for more information:

I hope that this might save some subscribers to the list some search time.

P.S. I do plan to be at the meeting tomorrow.
