Chrome won't automatically update - solved

[oliverjames]

My first thought was to reinstall it from the MX Package Installer, but that didn't resolve the issue. The version shown in synaptic is 132.0.6834.159-1.
I reinstall it from the official Chrome download but the out of date message remains, and the about chrome info gives Version 118.0.5993.117 (Official Build) unknown (64-bit)

Can someone explain what the issue is please?

Since I got a Chrome update two days ago, I think that your main repo may not be in sync and that you should use Repo Manager in MX Tools to switch to a new one. Your profile locates you in France and the closest one to you that we own and operate is Alblasserdam, The Netherlands. After you have made the switch, try to update again.

Thank you, I'll switch and see if that resolves the issue.

if the correct version is showing up in synaptic, then some error must be preventing installation.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install google-chrome-stable

may have some text output that sheds some light.

Running that script gives:

A bit perplexed!

[dolphin_oracle]

seems like you got it installed already.

do you possibly also have a flatpak installed? that updates separately, and not automatically.

Thank you, you hit the nail on the head, actually I had a repo version installed, and the flatpack. Now I've uninstalled the latter and all is well.

Glad to hear it is resolved. Please mark as solved using the check mark on the top right of the post that resolved it.
