      I am trying to install the Google chrome browser in the laptop at that time also facing the issue.
      The error is given below

        You are trying to install a package without its dependencies.

        Why don't you just install it with the package manager?

        sudo apt-get install chromium

          You need to stop using deb files and start using the package management system.

            Try
            sudo apt-get install -f

            That will fix the dependency problems you are having.

                Maybe, but it's not good practice to do so. Always use the distro's package manager, which enables you to update packages and dependencies later on. Installing a flat deb file is like playing lottery (at least for a beginner).

                  While I usually agree, Chrome isn't in the repos, just Chromium. So if you need to install Chrome you can download the .deb and use gdebi, which will pull in all dependencies for you.

                    You are right, Chromium != Chrome (they just share the same engine).

                    But one shouldn't use a manually installed browser at all. They are a huge attack surface and should be kept updated, which is hard enough on Linux, but next to impossible for a Linux newcomer who installs a specific version outside of the package managers control.

                    I think it's much better safer to either add Google's repo for installs and updates (https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/) or just use Chromium. Either way, installing Chrome via a flat deb is usually a pretty bad idea.

                      Installing Google Chrome automatically add the Google repo. So no worries about huge attack surface and it's kept up to date.

                        That's what I said.

                        I just want to make sure that @Lakshmana understands that installing a deb file means: no updates. And that's dangerous.

                            Using an alpha future release of Ubuntu for this is definitely not going to make that easy. Why are you doing this in such a hard way?

                              What you need to do is download the entire installer either as a DVD ISO or as a repo. Don't try to do all of this one package at a time. You are misunderstanding Ubuntu.

                                    Ya I don't know why either.

                                    Without a working internet connection, this is going to be very difficult unless you install from the ISO, but even then you might hit dependency issues with 3rd party packages. Chrome is probably the least of your concerns if you can't even get a working network connection.

                                    I'd go back to 16.04/16.10 and see if you can get the internet working on that first.

                                      First thing you should do is drop 17.04 since it is still alpha, and start using either 16.04 or 16.10, as @stacksofplates recommends, get you base system ready and then start installing your desired third-party applications.

                                          And download that full DVD, it'll make things SO much easier.
