Install Google Chrome on Fedora 36/35, CentOS Stream 9/8, Red Hat (RHEL) 9/8, Rocky Linux 8.5 - Comment Page: 8

1. Actually I have a similar problem with the above while installing Chrome stable version. Another ‘perl’ package..and I don’t know how to deal with it.

   The error codes should be:

   
Error: Package: 1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-211.fc17.noarch (@anaconda-0)
Requires: perl = 4:5.14.2-211.fc17
Removing: 4:perl-5.14.2-211.fc17.i686 (@anaconda-0)
perl = 4:5.14.2-211.fc17
Updated By: 4:perl-5.14.3-217.fc17.i686 (updates)
perl = 4:5.14.3-217.fc17
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 2 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-217.fc17.noarch is a duplicate with 1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-211.fc17.noarch
1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-217.fc17.noarch has missing requires of perl = ('4', '5.14.3', '217.fc17')

   • Hi OR,

     Could you run:

     
     yum update
     

     And post output of following command:

     
     yum check

     • Thank you for the instructions! I’ve run the two commands and have this output:

       ** Found 2 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:

       • Try following:

         
         yum remove perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-211.fc17.noarch
         
         yum clean all
         
         yum update
         
         yum check
         

         Do you still get same error?

         Reply

         • I’ve done all the instruction above and have successfully removed the package. However, the problem still exists:
           [[email protected] /]# yum check
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
1:perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-217.fc17.noarch has missing requires of perl = ('4', '5.14.3', '217.fc17')
Error: check all

           What should I do then..

           Reply

         • Oh another segment of code attached:

           [[email protected] ~]# yum remove pero-Pod-Escapes-1.04-211.fc17.noarch
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
No Match for argument: pero-Pod-Escapes-1.04-211.fc17.noarch

           Reply

           • Actually you have little typo on yum remove pero-Pod… it should be yum remove perl-Pod…

             So try same again with right yum remove command, if you still get this same error, could you post output of following commands:

             
             rpm -qa perl\* |sort
             
             yum list installed |grep perl

             • I’m surprised to find out that finally I installed Chrome successfully. Maybe it was because the system was not fully updated.. Anyway. Thank you for all the help and instructions in these days. Plus, I truly love your website! It helps me a lot. Hope to find out some more interesting things on your site:)

               Best.

2. If you are having both 32 and 64 bit inside /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo then please be careful to have different names in the square brackets at the top instead of both being ‘google-chrome’.

   For example:
   [google-chrome-32]

   [google-chrome-64]

6. I cannot install google chrome on my compute nodes. I followed the directions and created a repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d, and this installed fine on my central computer, but it won’t install on my nodes.

   • Hi Mel,

     I can’t find addons path from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6 so that’s why it failed. Could you post output of following commands (from node) to http://pastebin.com :

   • Hi,

     Following repo exists only CentOS 5, but not CentOS 6:

     
     [addons]
     name=CentOS-$releasever – Addons
     mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=addons
     #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/
     enabled=1
     gpgcheck=1
     gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
     

     So I recommend you to disable this, change:

     
     enabled=1
     ## to ##
     enabled=0

9. Stable installed fine and runs nicely on Oracle Linux 6.2 (2.6.39).

   Still got three could not get owner of name org.chromium.Mtpd errors.

   Also the Firefox nemsis “failed to create drawable” error.

   But it works and that’s more than I can say for Firefox after I attempted to add Flash.

   So thanks!

10. Hi,

    Yesterday, from the official Fedora website, I downloaded and installed 32-bit Fedora 18. All went well.

    This morning I attempted to install Google Chrome browser into this using the instructions on this web page.

    I copied and pasted the instructions for the 32-bit repo given on this webpage into new file google-chrome.repo which now resides in /etc/yum.repos.d/

    When the command “yum install google-chrome-stable” was executed (as root!) everything went well, up to the point shown below.

    Error Summary

    Could you please explain what these errors/conflicts are and if there is a solution to this problem.

    Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give with this.

    Best regards,

    • Hello Stuart,

      I had the same error as you, plus some redhad-lsb version error, and I managed to find a work-around to it by manually removing the old conflicting installations:

      yum remove systemtap-devel-2.0-4.fc18.i686
      yum remove systemtap-2.0-4.fc18.i686
      yum remove systemtap-client-2.0-4.fc18.i686
      yum remove systemtap-runtime-2.0-4.fc18.i686

      After this I recommend you run “yum clean all” just be sure, and you should be able to install chrome. (You may need to update lsb as well. Not sure, but if in case that happens just run “yum install/update redhat-lsb”.)

      I hope this helped.

      Just start Google Chrome as normal user (not root user).

14. One recommendation:

    You should yum automatically select the right architecture. Therefore, change google-chrome.repo to:

    
[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

15. Hi, I followed your steps but I am receiving the following error:

    Is this ok [y/N]: y
    Downloading Packages:
    warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 7fac5991: NOKEY
    Retrieving key from https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

    GPG key retrieval failed: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 7 – “Failed to connect to 2607:f8b0:4002:c04::5d: Network is unreachable”

    What could be causing this?

    • Hi Luis,

      Could you simply try again, maybe some network was really unreachable?
