Anyone have success installing Google Chrome on 11.4 m6 KDE. I tried stable, beta and unstable and could not get any of them to pop.
Thanks!
Have you tried Chromium instead?
You would probably want:
Index of /repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Contrib/standard
Yes, I am using the i386 chrome 9.0.597.67 beta on a 64 bit system to stream radio at the moment.
It starts with “google-chrome” from bash. /usr/bin/google-chrome is a symbolic link to /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
The command in Kickoff is “/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome %U”
I added the repository: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386

google-chrome is working for me too, on openSUSE 11.4 / KDE 4.6 (x86_64)
from this repo: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64.
usually i prefer to use chromium, the free version, but when i tried to
install that a while ago, it didn’t work, so for now i’m using the google
version instead. once something goes wrong with that, i’ll switch back to
chromium, etc., etc.
(by the way, i believe the chromium version mentioned by caf4926 does work
now, but so does google-chrome, for me.)
what error messages do you get trying to use google-chrome?

Ok I will go back and re examine the problem knowing it is working for you guys. There was no error message just a working cursor then it would close. I am on a 64bit with kde for now.

please start the application from a terminal (user, not root), by typing
“google-chrome”. if anything goes wrong, i.e., the app. doesn’t start,
this should provide some feedback, which you can post here.

It eventually happens with me on new OS installation, google chrome needs a specific library, install it, but to know library it is, I second it, open in terminal, type google-chrome and verify what dependencies are needed!!
Good Luck
For me, Chrome needed libpng12 while libpng14 is what is installed by default. I did a little research and found a bug report about this that claimed it had been resolved.
I installed libpng12 and chrome started fine.
Simple as libpng12.so.0 missing. I will make sure I run in terminal from now on before asking questions. = P
Added:
google-chrome
[20956:20956:4165549069:ERROR:chrome/common/json_pref_store.cc(48)] Error reading Preferences: File doesn’t exist. /home/trip/.config/google-chrome/Local State: No such file or directory
Created new window in existing browser session.
Heh, I will keep fiddling with it.
Thanks everyone!
Just deleting the .config/google-chrome directory fixed my last error. All is well now.
To day , with suse 11.4 kde when i launch Chrome it does not strat and when i try to do it with Terminal I get this result
pierre@Maison:~> google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
pierre@Maison:~>
libpng12.so.0 is missing , but, what can I do ??
Thanks
zypper in libpng12-0
This was for me:
simone@192-168-1-5:~> google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Then install libpng12.so.0: by YAST and Google-chrome start.
bye
It’s my experience: Google Chrome working properly if libpng12.so library is installed.
Unfortunately, the library isn’t installed automatically with the official RPM package.
