[SOLVED] Errors installing google-chrome-stable

I installed google-chrome-stable on Beowulf (an upgrade from ASCII)
Activating it I got a complaint about no key for google-chrome so I did
  wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
I rebooted and that error went away. But I got /etc machine-id contains 0 characters
  I shutdown, rebooted using ASCII and saved the /etc/machine-id
  I rebooted to Beowulf and installed the machine-id into /etc
I am now getting Gtk-WARNINGs about "Theme parsing errors ..."

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yeah, they all do that mate. Theme SNAFU. Try another theme if you're allergic to error spam. Do you notice any actual problems?

I think the machine-id is supposed to be generated by systemd these days but you could symlink to to /var/lib/dbus/machine-id if you want a valid ID. See machine-id(5) for more on this.
