I don't know about Kodibuntu, but I've certainly seen unmet dependencies on normal 'buntu. It simply depends on what those dependencies are - can you post the errors?
FWIW, I had to sudo apt-get install libappindicator1 libindicator7 on my XFCE system before Chrome would install, although you may have a completely different issue. The errors will tell you.

After it fails, 'sudo apt-get -f install'. It will then install all dependencies and chrome.

Download the deb file from google. Then run:
sudo dpkg -i "nameofdeb.deb"
It'l fail with dependencies not met. run:
sudo apt-get -f install.
Enjoy your chrome goodness.

Hello! I have the same question, can you help?
OS: Kodibuntu 14.04.1 LTS Kernel 3.13.0-45 generic
PC: Lenovo Core 2 Duo E8400 2GB Ram
I'm using the android XBMC remote. I can use a keyboard though.
Basically, i'm trying to setup Kodibuntu so I can launch chrome and stream flash from a website.
I have so far installed SuperRepo, the chrome launcher but I haven't installed chrome from what I understand (I get the "Info - Chrome not found" notice when I try to start Vimeo Couchmode for example).
