I've tried to install Chrome by using this command:

root@antiX1:/home/davek/Downloads# dpkg -i google-chrome-beta_current_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package google-chrome-beta.
(Reading database ... 62560 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking google-chrome-beta (from google-chrome-beta_current_i386.deb) ...
Setting up google-chrome-beta (5.0.342.9-r43360) ...
xdg-desktop-menu: No writable system menu directory found.
Processing triggers for menu ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
root@antiX1:/home/davek/Downloads#

what am I missing? I also thought that by double-clicking on the file Gdeb would open and install the program.

I think you are missing that it's installed fine! Try running 'google-chrome'.
You can also set its repo in sources.list

Code: Select all

# google sources
deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable main

Better still, run

Code: Select all

and install chrome form it. It will set the repos and I think it will install the keyring too.
