| # uname -r 2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.i686 # cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon) |
install the following RPMs which is needed for Google Chrome , if you have not installed these RPMs.
| redhat-lsb.i686 4.0-3.el6 @sl redhat-lsb.i686 4.0-3.el6 @sl # yum install redhat-lsb.i686 libcurl.i686 |
add Google Chrome repository
| # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo [google-chrome-32bit] name= Google Chrome for 32bit Users baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/i386 enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub |
| # yum install google-chrome-stable.i386 -y |
When you try to start Chrom as root user , you will see the following error and will not start Chrome.
“Google Chrome can not be run as root”
To solve this , create the following shell script.
| # cat my_icon/chrome.sh #!/bin/bash xhost + su -l abc /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome xhost - |
su -l non-root user
make Chrome icon for convenience.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWhat happens if you try to run chrome via CLI ?
run chrome as a non root user.
$ /usr/bin/google-chrome
also , please check whether or not chrome is running.
become root user
