I'm trying to install signal-desktop on chrome-os chromebook with linux(debian) terminal
All tutorials on how to do it copy and paste instructions from official website:
# NOTE: These instructions only work for 64 bit Debian-based
# Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Mint etc.
# 1. Install our official public software signing key
wget -O- https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | gpg --dearmor > signal-desktop-keyring.gpg
cat signal-desktop-keyring.gpg | sudo tee -a /usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
# 2. Add our repository to your list of repositories
echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main' |\
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
# 3. Update your package database and install signal
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
After adding the signal repository I have used:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Following search is able to find the package:
sudo apt search signal-desktop

I have read following tutorials on how to install signal on chrome-os but as mentioned earlier they all contain the same instructions: howtogeek chromeunboxed moyens androidguys bollyinside
I have also tried following:
sudo apt update --fix-missing
sudo apt install -f
sudo apt clean
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install -t ubuntu signal-desktop
sudo apt install -t xenial signal-desktop
sudo apt install signal-desktop=5.62.0
My current /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list:
deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main
