Problem Installing Software

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

When I try to install Google Chrome for Linux, I get the following message.

"An Internal System Error has occurred

[PK_TMP_DIR|dir:///var/tmp/TmpDir.AYOJuL] Repository already exists."

I have had the same problem trying to install Crossover. As I am pretty new to Linux, I am completely lost as to how to resolve this.

Thank You.

Open a terminal and become su -
This is how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wv-IaDsitA)

Now enter this and hit enter:

zypper rr 4

You should be good now

#5

Actually.
You should also do

zypper rr 3

If you want multi-media to work. Lets hope you didn’t already mess things up with the Videolan repo
See: Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide

Obviously not grasping your instructions correctly’ below is what I done in termina;

"colm@linux-giuw:~> YouTube - su term.mpeg
If ‘YouTube’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf YouTube
colm@linux-giuw:~> zypper rr 4
Root privileges are required for modifying system repositories.
colm@linux-giuw:~> *******
If ‘*******’ is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf sacsaba
colm@linux-giuw:~> "

For heavens sake
Watch the video if you don’t know how to become su -

then follow the zypper instructions

Sorry about that rather abrupt comment earlier.
