Has anyone tried to successfully install and use Google Chrome for (Linux)Mandriva 2009.0?
I just want to confirm if anyone has ever used Google Chrome on Mandriva 2009.0.
NOT on 2009.1 or 2010
if yes, could you please give me links to the rpm and procedures how you successfully got it to work? thanks a bunch.
I need it badly. My boss wants me to test a site in Google Chrome but I can’t since my workstation here at the office uses Mandriva 2009.0 and it’s my first time to work with a Linux OS.
Thank you hawklord. I have come to that conclusion as well. Now, I want to know how could I update Mandriva to 2010.1? I’m a newbie with Linux OS. Thanks

chrome is not supported on 2009.0, you will need to upgrade your system to 2010.1,

source – mandriva user
(Compiz’s first link is for 2009.1/cooker which is the development release for mandriva,
the second link is for 2010, i tried it on 2009.0 – it failed)
the dates give the second link away, mandriva 2010 was released in november 2009, the hack is for 2010.0/cooker before the rpm was built for standard release,
sorry compiz)
