      • Hi Stanley Dal,

        Yes you get 404 if you try to access it using your browser. This is just Google’s style to configure their servers, you can only access files what you really need, maybe there is not even any real files or directories. Like http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml could be just alias to some script which generate it and everything works normally with dnf/yum, and even with browser, if you know what you are looking for.

      You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
      You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

    6. Download with YUM was successful in getting Chrome installed on Fedora 29. Now, I can get my classes to work with video and audio to synchronize correctly on this old laptop Compaq – CQ50 with celeron CPU Intel inside and 2.9 GB RAM. Firefox browser has to many bugs in it as of this writing. Google Chrome is becoming a better Browser these days and the developers get better raises then other companies.

      • Hi Steven,

        Sorry, but you are wrong (at least currently). Actually Google use here http url and yes it works totally fine with dnf and yum.

        Just checked Google’s RPM and their own cron script produces exactly same repo file with http:

        ...
REPOCONFIG="http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable"
...
DEFAULT_ARCH="x86_64"
YUM_REPO_FILE="/etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo"
ZYPPER_REPO_FILE="/etc/zypp/repos.d/google-chrome.repo"
URPMI_REPO_FILE="/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg"

install_yum() {
  install_rpm_key

  if [ ! "$REPOCONFIG" ]; then
    return 0
  fi

  if [ -d "/etc/yum.repos.d" ]; then
cat > "$YUM_REPO_FILE" << REPOCONTENT
[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=$REPOCONFIG/$DEFAULT_ARCH
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
REPOCONTENT
  fi
}

        It uses http version, not https!

        And if you run following commands with http version, then you see that it's working normally:

        cat /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo 
[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

dnf clean --repo google-chrome all
5 files removed

dnf update --repo google-chrome --refresh
google-chrome                                   1.6 kB/s | 3.4 kB     00:02    
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

      • Hi,

        This works normally for me, please try to run dnf clean all and try again.

        If you still have problems, please post output of following commands:

        dnf repolist

dnf info google-chrome-stable

        Output should be something like:

        dnf repolist

    12. Hello,
      I appreciate your article. I was able to install Google Chrome using the information provided. But, I would suggest that maybe you should not assume every fedora user is a Gnome-Shell user. The workstation repository is not a fit for all other desktop environments.
