Hi
I am using an ASUS Transformer Book.
Not only are there no useful manuals but also no help from Asus either online OR by telephone, issues go unsolved. It's annoying since they are not cheap.
My issue is that the android/tablet part of the Asus Transformer keeps saying google chrome needs updating.
It has a link to the google page BUT you have to choose a package. the problem is there are 4 different packages to chose from AND absolutely no help (even when i call their technical hotline). Which to choose?
The options are:

Please select your download package:

32 bit .deb (For Debian/Ubuntu)
64 bit .deb (For Debian/Ubuntu)
32 bit .rpm (For Fedora/openSUSE)
64 bit .rpm (For Fedora/openSUSE)

I'm assuming i need 64bit bt which one? Does it matter?
Thanks in advance
Trudi

If your tablet is running Android then you have to update it using its
usual mechanisms (whichever those might be, I'm not familiar with
Android).

We can only help you if you installed the Debian operating system on it
(and if so please mention which version).

Kind regards,
Andrei

First you decide for your architecture then for your system. As you are on the Debian list that would be of course a .deb file. .rpm is for Red Hat based distros.

You could open a terminal with:

uname -r

and see what architecture you use (32 vs 64 bit)

For Android, as far as I know, the official location for Google Chrome
is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.chrome (or,
if you're reading this on your device
market://details?id=com.android.chrome).

If your device does not include the Google Play Store, then you must
either use the equivalent from ASUS (and hope they have an updated
Chrome available).
