Switching between dev and beta Chrome channels on Linux
If you’re on Linux (say Ubuntu 10.04, also known as Lucid Lynx), you can switch between the developer (dev) and beta channels of Chrome like this:
Switch from Beta to Dev:
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable
Switch from Dev to Beta:
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-beta
That’s easier for me than going back for the .deb file and doing something with it.
Also, if you want to check whether a new dev version of Chrome is out, you can just repeat the same command:
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable
and if there’s no new version, you’ll get something like this back:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
google-chrome-unstable is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I figured I’d document this in case I needed to remember how to do it in the future.
