every time i run the 64bit .rpm file i get an error:
[PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.P7eMir] Repository already exists.
chrome is not currently installed. running kde 4 on suse 11.4, 64bit. i’m having a problem with firefox with web pages with embedded youtube videos. i don’t know how to describe it, all the “buttons” (e.g. play/pauge, volume etc) flicker in white blocks and it’s really weird. anyone else know of this problem? firefox 4 by the way.
thanks for any help!
Ross.
Can I see your repos?
su
# zypper lr -d
Can i see this repo
4 | PK_TMP_DIR | PK_TMP_DIR | Yes | Yes | 99 | plaindir | dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.12SYtW |
# zypper lr 4
And read this Install Google Chrome on OpenSuse 11.3

i just tried installing it through the command line and seemed to install ok (after i had to install something called lsb)…but it said at the end “NO KEY”
it’s appeared in my menu but when i click on the icon, the bouncing icon by the mouse cursor just keeps bouncing and the programme doesn’t load. went into yast and it then listed chrome as installed, went update and it updated ok but still no success in loading it. i can’t try to open it through command line as i don’t know the command for it…?
thanks 
went into the application icon to find the command, typed this into command line:
ross@linux-ej1d:~> /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U
/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Try to run it in terminal
For example
google chome
It is an example and then sellect ENTER.
Yeahh a missing library ok
open your terminal and write
su
# zypper install libpng12.so.0
Or install through here RPM Search libpng12.so.0
managed to get it working:
typed the above command into console and got libpng error (think you were posting as i was typing it! lol). then went into yast, typed libpng and sure enough that one it tried loading wasn’t installed. installed it and job done.
thanks for your help 
really appreciated. now to see if all the extensions work, embedded videos etc.
cheers,
Ross.

seems like everything else is working ok though! thanks!! at least google chrome doesn’t go a bit spastic with embedded videos unlike my firefox
however, the latest version of kde is 4.6.2, i’m running 4.6.0 even if i click yast>online update>patterns>KDE desktop environment (and KDE base) and click all in this list > update if newer version available, but nothing updates… ??
thanks
I write you now the technique of upgrading, But you must have the correct repos for that.
Here
Firstly go to yast and disable other KDE repos if you have(For example if you have the KDE 4.6.2 repo you must go to yast and disable it)
Open your terminal and write this
su
# zypper addrepo -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.4/ kde46
# zypper dup --from kde46
When it will finish make a reboot.
That’s all
thank you, it is updating now
Make a
su
# zypper refresh
I want to see again if updates.
better to carry this on in the other thread
thanks mate
