Get DNS working in Ubuntu 12.10

After installing Ubuntu 12.10 x64 (actually, it is salome-meca live-usb from http://www.alneos.com/en/download/salome-meca-live-usb), the networking seems working normally but I could open web pages from firefox.

Problem:
The network interface showed connection established, the ifconfig worked.
Ping on direct ip address was functionally, but the web pages could not be accessed.

Solution:
dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf

Install Chrome in Ubuntu 12.10 x64

While installing 64-bit chrome deb under Ubuntu 12.10, error occurred:

"The package is of bad quality
E: google-chrome-stable: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile etc/cron.daily/google-chrome"

Then I used dpkg until I got another error:

sudo dpkg -i deb_package_name.deb

Selecting previously unselected package google-chrome-stable.
(Reading database ... 269204 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking google-chrome-stable (from chrome.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing google-chrome-stable (--install):

Solution:
