I'm struggling with this problem for a few days now ;( I want to install Chrome and Chromedriver to use selenium on ubuntu, so I connected to Ubuntu 18.04 with Putty (windows 10 user) and write some codes that are needed for chrome installation, but the error is occurred as below: Could anyone please tell me what to do? ubuntu@ip-172-31-35-176:~$  wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_s                                     igning_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - OK ubuntu@ip-172-31-35-176:~$ sudo sh -c 'echo &quot;deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.c                                     om/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main&quot; &gt;&gt; /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' ubuntu@ip-172-31-35-176:~$ sudo apt-get update E: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list (Component                                     ) E: The list of sources could not be read.

I have unistalled and reinstalled the Ubuntu Software Center as per info I found in a similar thread and I got the same response about line 91 or something like that.  I just tried to upload a screen shot but since I'm new it won't allow me to.  I also can not figure out how to cut and paste anything so I have to hand type what the error screen says, both when I attempt to open the software center and nothing happens, when I try to enter commands into the terminal to uninstall, reinstall, whatever I get the same following:  COULD NOT INTITIALIZE THE PACKAGE INFORMATION An unresolvable problem occured while initializing the package information Please report t:his bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message: 'E: Malformed line 91 in source list/etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)  E: The list of sources could not be read.,  E: The package list of status file could not be parsed or opened.   How do I report bugs?  What can be done about this.  I have searched and everything everyone says to do leads me back to the same line error message.  So, I don't know how to get to line 91 in the source list; to tell you what it says. Sorry, I'm really new to this. That is what I need is to find out how to get there and fix what it says. I would really like to NOT have to re partition my hard drive and start from scratch, so I'm really looking forward to getting this problem solved. I need to be able to install new software.

I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 guest on VMWare Player (7.1.3 build-3206955), with Windows 10 as the host OS. I'm able to use Firefox to browse the web inside the guest, however I'm unable to use apt on the terminal. Whenever i invoke the command sudo apt-get update, it gets stuck at 0% [connecting to in.archive.ubuntu.com], finally failing. Also, using sudo apt-get install &lt;package&gt; always results in the package not even being found. On the other hand, using the same commands with the -E flag on sudo makes them work. Can somebody explain what's happening here?  EDIT: I forgot to add that i'm using multiple internet connections; one with proxy and one without. Regular sudo works on the one without proxy but not on the one with it.

How do you install Google Chrome on Ubuntu?

I'm having some difficulties exactly understanding how the the whole update thing work in Ubuntu and good practice for installing software.  I understand I have a  /etc/apt/sources.list file where all my repositories are listed, and that these repositories are queried when I use apt-get update - to later be used with e.g. apt-get upgrade.  This makes perfect sense and I recently installed spotify by adding deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free to this "sources" list.    But then I got confused...  When I went to download Google Chrome I merely had to download and grab a .deb file, and Chrome installed with no problem... but I don't see any new entry in /etc/apt/sources.list...  So how does apt-get update know where to query concerning Chrome updates?  Has it somehow been added to one of the already listed repositories in the sources file?  I would like all my installed software to be encompassed by the update function.

I'm using  and I accidentally clicked "No" when asked if I want to integrate with the website.  How can I have Firefox or Chrome reask me to integrate the site with Ubuntu?

I have Chromium web browser on my Lubuntu 13.04 (pre-installed).  I use LX Terminal (pre-installed) to write commands. I am trying to download flash player on Chromium using instructions on this :  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:skunk/pepper-flash   After typing in my password, this worked. Now   sudo apt-get update   I didn't need to type in my password, as I continued on the same terminal, but got W:/ and E:/ fetch file errors  sudo apt-get install pepflashplugin-installer   I continued on the same terminal despite the fetch file errors... and they said pepflashplugin-installer could not be found.  Is the last error because of fetch file errors, or because I need to download pepflash-plugin-installer somewhere? Or is it because of something else?  I cannot download the Chrome browser, and not looking to use flash player on my Firefox web browser (installed using lubuntu software center).

Hi everyone I'm attempting to install spotify, I've been running linux for less than 24 hours so please cut me some slack if this seems trivial. Here is a link to the webpage  and the example script.         Add this line to your list of repositories by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list    deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free    If you want to verify the downloaded packages, you will need to add our public key  sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 94558F59    Run apt-get update  sudo apt-get update    Install spotify!      sudo apt-get install spotify-client      would someone be nice enough to walk me through this? I'm not even sure where to start.

Mozilla announced that NPAPI will not be supported since the released version 52. This means that Java will not be supported either.  Chromium based browsers do not support java for some time already.  At java.com they suggest using Internet Explorer or Safari.  I am using a Java app to sign banking documents. Is there any way to use Java in Ubuntu?

I've been having a lot of difficulties installing Chrome on my desktop, I have Windows XP with SP3. The setup program starts and then exits within a second. I can see in Process Viewer that it's accessing a lot of files and registry keys before exiting

Google Chrome 41.0.2272.118, Ubuntu 14.04    This is the second time I have had this error in the last week or so. Is this a bug on my part, or is there something up with the SE security certificate?  I've changed to bug because of :     No, it's something Stack Exchange would have to fix. Chrome is following the rules. But considering the whole meta.*.stackexchange.com dilemma is what's been holding up a lot of the HTTPS support, I doubt they're going to come up with any kind of fix for the www.*.stackexchange.com redirect problem. –  animuson♦

Chrome refused to run a java app unless i upgraded to .45, which I did my dling the installer from oracle.  Java 7 u45.  Installer said it worked.  Chrome still won't start java.    $ which java /usr/bin/java  $ java -version java version "1.7.0_06" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_06-b24) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode) ~/private/WDI/git🍔     I may be easily fooled, but that doesn't say "45" anywhere.  (Yes, "06", and "24" and "23.2-b09", but nary a 45.  Such numbers!)  Anybody know if this is u45, or where the installer placed it?  UPDATE: there is a Java System Preference Panel that says "Your system has the recommended version of Java: Java 7 Update 45."  Still, Chrome doesn't appear to see it.

I'm trying to update from ubuntu 12.10 lately but I keep getting the "Failed to fetch" error.  W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-security/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'independent/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)  W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'independent/source/Sources' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)  W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-updates/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'independent/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)  W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-backports/Release  Unable to find expected entry 'independent/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)  E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.   I changed the server and deleted the source lists from /var/lib/apt/lists/ like some answers say but still. This is really annoying.
