[opensuse-factory] Google chrome installation
Dear All, In case of Google Chrome installation, it seems that the package is assign on zypper as unneeded or orphaned. So if someone perform a clean up in his / her workstation, it will remove also some 3rd party packages. I thought i should be marked as a bug rather than a feature of zypper, but i would like to hear your opinion, as i am new to opensuse community and i am not aware of the flow. Also is there any command line tool for bug reporting as ABRT in fedora or even Bug Report in debian?

Just add the third party repository that contains Google Chrome. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)

I have this problem too. Somehow the repository gets automatically removed at seemingly random intervals, even if I add it manually. Also, the third party repository documented on the wiki doesn't work anymore. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I see.
Google uses a dirty trick, IMHO. It installs a cronjob in "/etc/cron.daily/google-chrome", which every day tries to add the repository again and again. I use aparmour to deny this script the permission to run.
The repository is "http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable", or rather: "http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64".

Deleting the cronjob is not enough, because an update of the rpm reinstalls it.
Thanks! Is there any way to get this packaged as an RPM? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Sure, but it is a single text file, very simple to install manually. I don't know how to do it as RPM. Yes, OBS and all that. Just create the file with an editor running as root in that directory, paste from the email the contents, and save. I think you have to restart apparmour service to load it, that's all. Just try to run the google script manually and it will fail. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
