In this blog post, I’m going to demonstrate step by step how to install & Configure Google Chrome on Kali Linux Version 2, this may be done on previous versions without any issues.
Softwares I used:
Kali Linux: Kali Linux ver 2.0 x64
Gdebi: gdebi-0.9.5.5+nmu1
Google Chrome: google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
Let’s begin:
Installing required Dependencies:
– Update OS:
# apt-get update
– Install GDebi:
# apt-get install gdebi
Downloading & Installing Google Chrome:
– Download latest version of Google chromes .deb (Debian) file with i386 architecture.
https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop
– Install Google Chrome:
# gdebi google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb
– Make Temp Data Directory:
# mkdir /opt/chrome
# chmod 777 /opt/chrome
# chmod 777 /opt/chrome
Error while starting Google Chrome:
general protection ip:efc23aa3 sp:ffdf6870 error:0
Solution:
– Edit Chrome Config File to run it under Root user as well.
# leafpad /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
-Set following line:
exec -a “$0” “$HERE/chrome” “$@”
TO:
exec -a “$0” “$HERE/chrome” “$@” –no-sandbox –user-data-dir=/opt/chrome
