Anyone know why google chrome will not install on suse 13.2 ???
It does install, use zypper to install it
sudo zypper in <path-to-google-chrome.rpm>
or see this long thread on adding google as a repository
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/509273-Google-Chrome-not-installing
you can add google’s rpm’s as a repository and install chrome with zypper or yast.
For a 64bit OS do
sudo zypper ar http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 google
sudo zypper in google-chrome-stable
for 32 bit you need to add this URI
sudo zypper ar http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386 google
sudo zypper in google-chrome-stable
Ok, using “google-chrome-stable” WORKED, but first it gave this error, below, which I Ignored with an “i” response.
.
google-chrome-stable-44.0.2403.157-1.x86_64(google-chrome): Signature verification failed [4-Signatures public key is not available]
.
Here is the text of my repo:
google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
type=rpm-md
keeppackages=0
about the error it’s a security feature, to install googl’s signing key so you don’t get that warning do this
download the key
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
then install it
sudo rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub
you’ve already installed it, this can be of use when and if you update it with apper
Thanks a lot.
