Installing Google Chrome – openSUSE Fedora Repository RPM
Recently someone emailed me and said they couldn’t get Google Chrome installed on their openSUSE 11 box. So I decided to write up a little installation using Google’s repository and zypper (zypper for opensuse and yum for fedora).
To setup the repository in openSUSE add the repository with:
sudo zypper ar http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/`uname -i` google-chrome
You can then install google chrome with:
sudo zypper in google-chrome-beta
or
sudo zypper in google-chrome-unstable
Unstable are snapshot builds of Chrome, whereas Beta are more structured and tested released milestones.
If you have any questions, or get any errors running this please let me know.
I’m currently running version Google Chrome Beta 4.0.249.43, and while writing this the current unstable version is 4.0.266.0)

Could not get! Repo is added, but when I “sudo zypper in google-chrome-beta” he stopped, 0%.
I can not download http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386/google-chrome-beta-4.0.249.43-34537.i386.rpm in the browser on my desktop, but i can download it on the squid server, I think it is a problem in the Internetserver? You know what is the problem? Squid configuration?
Thanks Ben.
That worked a treat. I have just moved over to OpenSuse from Ubuntu, so I am used to everything (almost) installing at a click of a button, where as now nothing installs without the need for tampering, but I love the challenge

You could also install it by double clicking the rpm in your file manager. As you would in Ubuntu.
Double clicking the icon would basically lauch the yast2 sw_single window for installation

Hi! I am trying to install google-chrome-beta, google-chrome-unstable, i386 and x86_64 versions. Every time when I run it, it falls. In terminal window after running exists an error:
/usr/bin/google-chrome: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/google-chrome: undefined symbol: cairo_format_stride_for_width
My system is openSUSE 11.0 x86_64.
I’d be interested in knowing what version of libcario you have. Also information on what Desktop Environment you are running (id LXDE, KDE or GNOME etc).
you can find libcario with rpm -qa | grep cario
Thank you.
