   • Hi nassif,

     Actually you are installing Chromium browser using very very old Fedora 9 repo. So you are not followed this guide at all…

     To install Google Chrome, please follow this guide or if you want install Chromium then follow Chromium install guide.

     uname -a
     

     and

     
     lsb_release -a
     

     and

     
     yum repolist

9. Hi nassif,

   First thing it looks like you have actually installed Fedora 9, or at least your kernel is Fedora 9 kernel.

   And secondly, your Chromium repository is broken. You should remove Chromium repo file so you get your yum working again.

   I recommend to download Fedora 13 Linux from here and install it. Then try to install Google Chrome again using this guide.

12. Shame that Developers of Google Chromium do not take care about one of the most stable, commercial and business oriented distribution of Linux: Red-Hat.
    Let Me just Say that for Example OPERA installs just perfect on Red-Hat.

    Why to Use Chromium at all ?

13. Perfect. Straight to the point and simple to follow!

15. Dear All
    I am using fedora 14 64 bit, I was facing the problem of the following error

    lsb >= 3.2 is needed by google-chrome-stable-8.0.552.237-70801.x86_64

    I resolve the problem as said above & now I am happy,
    Resolving the problem I take the following steps

    Enable Google YUM repository
    Add following to /etc/yum.repos.d/google.repo file:

    For 64 bit

    [google64]
    name=Google – x86_64
    baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

    Install Google Chrome with YUM (as root user)
    Install Google Chrome Stable Version

    Command for the installation
    (yum install google-chrome-stable)

    this procedure fix the problem for me
