I have been unable to get this to run on openSUSE (people have it running in Ubuntu). I installed seamonkey (to get libnss3 as I didn’t know where else to get those) and linked stuff so Chrome can find it:
Anyways I can’t talk - I found this thread since I have the exact same problem. I’ve tried google-chrome-stable and -beta, i386 and x86_64. None work at home.
The puzzling thing is that at my openSUSE 13.1 at work, which is configured pretty similarly, Netflix plays fine. Of course I don’t want to watch Netflix at work, but at home. Murphy’s Law in action.
