Hi testers,

I've just installed Google Chrome on to 11.4 machines and had to add the required 'lsb' first. Also other third party software may require lsb.

Therefore I wonder; why isn't especially the 'Linux Standard Base' - lsb - installed among the default openSUSE package selection? This might make the openSUSE exeperience more convenient, not at least avoid some uneccessary confusing for new users.

Interesting - to my knowledge, the open source base, Chromium, doesn't require LSB. I have them both installed though - perhaps Chromium does require it. As near as I can tell, the only *major* difference between Chromium and Chrome is that Chrome's PDF reader is built in, but Chromium shells out to the "native" PDF reader - Evince on Gnome, Okular on KDE, or, if you have it installed, Acrobat Reader.

Yes, me too have both installed, though in different versions: ~> rpm -qR chromium-10.0.633.0-1.4.x86_64 | grep lsb ~> ~> rpm -qR google-chrome-stable-8.0.552.237-70801.x86_64 | grep lsb lsb >= 3.2 Looking with YaST software manager shows that lsb-4.0-9.7.x86_64 installed size is 1.0 KiB (download size 8.0 KiB) As you mentioned PDF here, My experience is that Firefox 4.0b7 won't download or open several PDF documents googled on Internet, while trying them in Chrome has worked without issues (possibly also with Chromium).
