Hi,
I am having trouble to install the google chrome beta version. when i try to install it, i get this error.
a problem occurred, report the problem to the bugtracker. I
[PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.47IQKU] Repository already exists.
Some poeple are able to install it, i was wondering if i was doing something wrong. Any assistance is appreciated
Cheers,
Under YAST - Software Repositories, what do you have listed there? Does anything look out of place?
Are you downloading the .rpm then in a su terminal doing:
rpm -ihv google-chrome-beta_current_i386.rpm
i have installed it with:
zypper install google-chrome-beta_current_i386.rpm
some additional packages were installed automatically. Then in order to have working flash player(as it is was described somewhere in the froum):
cd /opt/google/chrome/
ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/ plugins
everything is working OK
Finally, it works. I used the zypper install and went on to install the remaining google package in yast through the console.
When i used RPM it did not work.
Linux-HP\EMEA:/home/lowcase/Download # rpm -ihv google-chrome-beta_current_i386.rpm
warning: google-chrome-beta_current_i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 7fac5991
error: Failed dependencies:
lsb >= 3.2 is needed by google-chrome-beta-4.0.249.30-33928.i386
Thanks for the help.
The next step would have been
*zypper in lsb
yes
rpm -ihv google-chrome-beta_current_i386.rpm
*
ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins /opt/google/chrome/plugins
At next start of software management accept the key to import the repo
Anyway - Good you have it working
Linux 2.6.25.20-0.5-pae i686 openSUSE 11.0 (i586) KDE 3.5.9 “release 49.2”
I am also having a problem installing Google Chrome Browser.
My 1st attempt, I got the ‘lsb’ dependancy error and I upgraded lsb to the required 3.2.41 from 3.1… that was on my machine.
My next attempt was to install thru terminal using rpm command
[rpm -ihv google-chrome-beta_current_i386.rpm] as su
I did not get any further msgs and found the Chrome Browser in Applications>Internet. However when I clicked on it, all I got was the bouncy chrome cursor, a flash of a blue window and then nothing.
I then uninstalled google chrome browser thru Yast, deleted the google repository and tried to use the zypper way [as in this post]:
*[zypper install google-chrome-beta_current_i386.rpm[/i]
with the following after
cd /opt/google/chrome/
ln -s /usr/lib/browser-plugins/ plugins]
but still I only get: bouncy chrome cursor, a flash of a blue window and then nothing.
Anyone have any ideas why this might be? What might I do do get this working?*
Start it from a terminal so that you can see any error messages:
google-chrome
ty
this is what I get when starting from terminal:
labud@linux-zmuf:~> google-chrome

I did some googling and it was suggested to:
“update your cairo lib to 1.6.4”
The version I have on my opensuse 11.0 is 1.4.14-32.1
When I check in the versions tab it only shows 1.4.14-32.1
Do I need some other repo in order to update this to cairo 1.6.4
OR
I can downloaded version 1.6.4 from cairo’s website and I can compile it but I don’t know if I should uninstall ver 1.4.14 first or will 1.6.4 overwrite 1.4.14?
OR
Do I need to be doing something else?
I was also facing the same problem.
It got resolved while installing cairo-1.6.4-2.1.i586.rpm.
You can search this package in http://software.opensuse.org/search/search
Hope it helps …
thanks for reply vjohari
I did get chrome working but only after I upgraded OS from 11.0 to 11.1. [which was in the plans anyways]
It installed without a hitch in opensuse 11.1, so I am going to guess that it did not like opensuse 11.0 because of the older version of cairo [1.41] that it uses.
I believe that if I had installed the newer version of cairo on opensuse 11.0, it would have been ok tho’.
