I can’t install Google Chrome with the software boutique. When I check in the terminal, the ppa is added but apt says “couldn’t resolve dl.google.com”
With the browser I can’t reach gmail or Google drive also.
Other than this I was able to make a system update after first install, so internet is working but no Google.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like a fresh install gone bad. What install method do you use? Have you tried to fix packages in terminal:
sudo apt -f install
You can update so you have internet access. What about switching to your guest session, will it connect correctly?
Your running 16.04?
I am running 17.04.
apt -f says nothing to install and guest session is also same.
Ok, that makes a difference. This has happen to me on 17.04 and found it necessary to reboot.
Hi @django,
if you are using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu Mate; there is no install candidate as Google Chrome is now only available for the 64 bit version!. 
An alternative is “Chromium Browser” which is available in both 32 and 64 bit versions!.
I know that, 32 bit chrome was dropped.
I am running 64 bit.
Just checking and you are welcome.
You are welcome too.
`sudo echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf`
solves the problem but there must be something else going on.
