Google Chrome Unstable Build 3.0.190.2 released openSUSE Packages here
To follow updates I will provide for Chrome RPM packages please bookmark or check:
http://www.benkevan.com/blog/tag/google-chrome/
The newest release of the Chrome Unstable browser is upon us.. I’m not sure what fixes this build brings us, but I know we still don’t have basic features like plugins etc.
I’ve made some rpm’s to make it easier for you to install on openSUSE:
The files are located here:
http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.190.2-1.i386.rpm
http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.190.2-1.x86_64.rpm
You can install using:
x86_64:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.190.2-1.x86_64.rpm –nodeps
i386:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.190.2-1.i386.rpm –nodeps
You may still have to do:
for i in libsmime3.so libnssutil3.so libnss3.so libssl3.so; do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/$i /usr/lib/$i.1d; done
and
for i in libplds4.so libplc4.so libnspr4.so ; do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/$i /usr/lib/$i.0d; done
(I had done this previously.. so didn’t test.. sorry people).
Here’s a nice pretty screenshot:
Loading ...
I did what said, but I got this error….
/opt/google/chrome/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I’m using a 64 bit architecture.
You now why that is?
Thanks
Hi pablo,
Can you do:
whereis libgconf-2.so.4
if nothing comes back do:
ls -l /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so*
if you don’t find it then do:
sudo zypper what-provides libgconf-2.so.4 and install the said package (i’m guessing you’re on KDE).. Let us know.. Thank you
PS.. Just re-read.. make sure you include the 32-bit provider of libgconf-2.so.4 just in case it calls for that..
Hi thanks for answer so quickly.
I tried what you said, but what do I have to do next?
–Can you do:
–whereis libgconf-2.so.4
libgconf-2.so: /usr/lib64/libgconf-2.so.4 /usr/lib64/libgconf-2.so
Do I have to make a symbolic link to somewhere?
Thanks
Thanks a lot for these RPMs!
@Pablo Infante
Pablo,
do: sudo zypper what-provides libconf-2.so.4
and install the i386 version of that package (this is what I think is happening). Or you can try symlinking /usr/lib/libgconf-2.so.4 to /usr/lib64/libgconf-2.so.4
I don’t have a 64 bit machine handy to test it out.. but I’d just install the 32-bit version to see if that fixes it..
What desktop environment are you running? what version of openSUSE? Thanks
Wow, thanks! These ones actually work : without -nodeps even ( I did install them previously).
Any chance of seeing then in OBS?
OBS -> Opensuse Build Service – too hasty in my excitement

P.S. – Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!
@ben.kevan
I’m using OPENSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.2
I tried what you said, of doing the symbolic link, and now I get this error when I try to run chrome.
/opt/google/chrome/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
I’m guessing, like you said, that I need the libgconf–2.so.4 for 32 bit and not 64….
Where can I find libgconf-2.so.4 for 32 bit. I been searching for it, but I only get the 64bit version.
Thanks for your help
@Pablo Infante
sudo zypper in gconf2-32bit
@alin
Thanks you very much. Now it’s working perfectly.
@alin
Thanks for getting the package name down.
@Pablo Infante
Glad you got it working. From here on out you should be golden. I’ll be posting the RPM’s as new versions come out.
Thank you for visiting.
Any other types of postings you’d like to see?
This is really cool stuff. Thanks!!
