        Using an alpha future release of Ubuntu for this is definitely not going to make that easy. Why are you doing this in such a hard way?

          What you need to do is download the entire installer either as a DVD ISO or as a repo. Don't try to do all of this one package at a time. You are misunderstanding Ubuntu.

            You seriously have to ask this question?

              While I usually agree, Chrome isn't in the repos, just Chromium. So if you need to install Chrome you can download the .deb and use gdebi, which will pull in all dependencies for you.

              You are right, Chromium != Chrome (they just share the same engine).

              But one shouldn't use a manually installed browser at all. They are a huge attack surface and should be kept updated, which is hard enough on Linux, but next to impossible for a Linux newcomer who installs a specific version outside of the package managers control.

              I think it's much better safer to either add Google's repo for installs and updates (https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/) or just use Chromium. Either way, installing Chrome via a flat deb is usually a pretty bad idea.

              Not that I care about votes / likes / whatever, but -1 for this?

                Ya I don't know why either.

                Without a working internet connection, this is going to be very difficult unless you install from the ISO, but even then you might hit dependency issues with 3rd party packages. Chrome is probably the least of your concerns if you can't even get a working network connection.

                I'd go back to 16.04/16.10 and see if you can get the internet working on that first.

                  First thing you should do is drop 17.04 since it is still alpha, and start using either 16.04 or 16.10, as @stacksofplates recommends, get you base system ready and then start installing your desired third-party applications.

                      And download that full DVD, it'll make things SO much easier.

                            After a quick glance at the alternate downloads for Ubuntu, it doesn't appear that they have an "Everything DVD" like Debian provides.

                              Ya you would probably have to make a local repo for everything. Never done it on Ubuntu, but it's relatively easy with RHEL.

                                Ubuntu never makes things easy, does it.

                                  Possible. But at least it is stable, supported and known. 17.04 isn't ready to be used at all yet.

                                      That's what I thought too and probably the best possible approach to keep an offline Linux system updated. It's not even specific to Debian or Ubuntu, you can basically do the same with Windows (e.g. WSUS).

                                        Ya I that with all of our RHEL systems. Yum gives you a reposync tool, so I just reposync the repos I'm attached to and store them on an apache server. It's really easy.

                                          I was going to go with a Spacewalk server, but since I'm using Puppet for CM, the complexities of Spacewalk wasn't worth it just for the repos.

                                            I used Spacewalk one place for everything and honestly, I hate it. Way too much work, way too little results 🙂
