Linux Software Repositories

Google’s Linux packages are signed with GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) keys. Google’s packages will automatically configure your package manager to verify product updates with the public signing key, but you may also install it separately if, for instance, you want to verify the integrity of an initial package download. Follow the instructions below to manually configure your package manager to use the keys.

Key Details

• Key ID: Google, Inc. (Linux Package Signing Authority)
  Fingerprint: EB4C 1BFD 4F04 2F6D DDCC EC91 7721 F63B D38B 4796
  Status: Active (Primary)
• Key ID: Google, Inc. Linux Package Signing Key
  Fingerprint: 4CCA 1EAF 950C EE4A B839 76DC A040 830F 7FAC 5991
  Status: Obsolete

Command line key installation for APT

On an APT-based system (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.), download the key and then use apt to install it.

wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

Recent versions of apt-get will automatically attempt to verify packages on download. If an appropriate key is not found or if the package is corrupted, you will get a message like the following:

WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
packagename

Command line key installation for RPM

On an RPM-based system (Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva, RHEL, etc.), download the key and then use rpm to install it.

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
sudo rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub

You can verify the key installation by running:

NOTE: From early 2023 onward, all Linux RPM packages are signed with periodically rotated subkeys of the 0xD38B4796 signing key. The 0x7FAC5991 signing key is obsoleted by this change.

To manually verify an RPM package, you can run the command:

rpm --verbose --checksig -v packagename.rpm

Google Chrome

Google Chrome (англ. chrome — хром) — браузер, разрабатываемый компанией Google на основе свободного браузера Chromium и использующий для отображения веб-страниц движок Blink, форк WebKit. Google Chrome является самым популярным браузером.

Установка из deb-пакета с официального сайта

Установка из терминала

Для установки Google Chrome вам нужно будет загрузить ключ репозитория, добавить сам репозиторий и обновить список пакетов:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add - 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

Существует три версии Chrome:

Для установки рекомендуется стабильная версия. Для того, чтобы установить ее выполните:

sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

Отличия от Chromium

Google Chrome добавляет задание, которое обеспечивает автоматическое обновление браузера и Flash-плагина, в cron. Chromium поддерживает только ручное обновление.

В Google Chrome встроена функция отправки в Google отчетов о сбоях и статистики использования. За это отвечает последняя галочка в настройках в разделе Личные данные. По умолчанию опция отключена.

В отличии от Chromium в состав Google Chrome включены плагин для просмотра PDF документов и свежая версия Adobe Flash Player.
