I am using an Ubuntu Droplet on Digital Ocean. I have attached a picture of the error I am getting - any help would be MUCH appreciated!

not really a python question, but how much ram+disk space do you have

for the former you can run free. for the latter, df -h

[blissful valve]

oops hehe

[blissful valve]

got it

@viscid violet is this good or bad?

[viscid violet]

ah it's a machine with 1gb of ram?

how much disk space do you have?

oh i misread the numbers

but yeah i think disk would be the more interesting thing

[blissful valve]

what should I do?

ohhh you want to see my disk space?

[blissful valve]

just curious, how does disk and ram have to do with the error?

[viscid violet]

it just looks like your machine is killing the decompression stage because it's using too much ram or disk

yeah, hm, you should be fine

maybe the chrome binary is just that large

[blissful valve]

so what should I do?

[blissful valve]

should I increase the RAM or the DISK in my remote machine?

which do I have a lot of and which do I have a little of?

[viscid violet]

hmmmm, i think that's probably not the issue here

perhaps try the second option here, https://tecadmin.net/how-to-install-google-chrome-web-browser-on-ubuntu-debian/?amp

[blissful valve]

so I tried the second way

AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS GONNA WORK

and then...

installing works on Local machine, but remote machine and its fucking up : (

[viscid violet]

nooo

[blissful valve]

I'm using digital ocean droplet ubuntu for reference

[blissful valve]

its downright tragic

[viscid violet]

where'd you get the .deb file

[blissful valve]

to get the deb from the first method, I used
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

to get the deb from the second method, I copy pasted what the website told me too

[safe crow]

on the remote machine do dpkg -V then the chrome .deb filename

error code 1 means dpkg failed an assertion or check

[blissful valve]

okie dokie

[viscid violet]

hmm i just tried it on my digital ocean machine and it worked first try

[safe crow]

oof

[blissful valve]

wait what were the specs? I did the lowest cost one, maybe that is why?

ugh I want to steal your digital ocean machine, ocean 11 style : (

[blissful valve]

@safe crow did not work RIP

[safe crow]

o_O

my bad, I may have suggested the wrong dpkg action

[blissful valve]

😭

[viscid violet]

but idk if that would be relevant

when i installed, it only took 400mb of disk space

homie has same error as me, lemme try to do what htey did

[blissful valve]

are you using intel?

[viscid violet]

they have arm machines?

[blissful valve]

do you know how I can change / upgrade my droplet, without destroying it and creating a new one

[viscid violet]

oh as opposed to amd

[blissful valve]

idk what that is 💀

[viscid violet]

by intel i thought you were saying x86

[blissful valve]

which one should I use?

[safe crow]

can you do uname -a on your digital ocean server?

You might have the wrong package for your architecture

[blissful valve]

yepp

root@doCongress:/home/programs# uname -a
Linux doCongress 6.8.0-31-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Apr 20 00:40:06 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[safe crow]

ok that's the correct package

[blissful valve]

but it worked for the other dude : 0
