Recently ran the 'Software Update' utility on my laptop running Ubuntu Linux 14.04 OS and ever since, I have been graced by this (un)friendly sort of error every time I use gmail app on my google chrome browser:
This version of Chrome is no longer supported. Please upgrade to asupported browser. Dismiss
This error suggests that the gmail app is not very happy with my browser version (which was v36, the latest version out there being v39). Now If I use 'Software Update' utility again, it tries to update a laundry list of all packages in my OS to update totaling upto about 600 Mb; which would be ok if I wasnt short on time. So a better solution for me would be to simply upgrade Chrome only and nothing else. And here is what I tried.
First, I tried to upgrade Google chrome via the browser settings menu but it came back and said its already at the latest! well that wasnt much help.
So I then, tried my next option of upgrading only Google chrome via the apt-get utility (as shown in the screen shot).
And that did it. Once apt-get completed its work, I restarted my browser and it on checking its version, it showed that it was upgraded to the new version (v39). And yes the error no longer shows up either! Hooray!
So, if you have been through this error yourself and wondering what to do, then you could follow the simple method of upgrading only Google chrome & get rid of that pesky error.
