1. Why don’t you double click instead of opening terminal and typing funny commands.
   Common dude, Linux is for Human Beings.

   1. You know how a human being would interact by an OS…by saying(typing) what it wants…instead of pointing to funny things like a monkey..smartypants

      1. If double clicking is easier,I do not see why one should avoid from it. Let’s face it. From the perspective of an average user, using a command line just to download an otherwise easily-downloadable program does not make any sense and would indeed look “funny.” Of course, from the perspective of geeks like us who just love the way linux functions, using command lines which interacts directly with OS may sound more sensible; however, you have to understand that there are also people who do not see the beauty of CL and prefer other solutions.

         1. Well, when i logged in with root user, it wouldnt work installing it by double-clicking, with this solution, it worked perfectly.

2. Linux Install MP3 player please tell me the necessary rpm .

3. I am waiting till google will create Linux repository for google-chrome.
   Linux version of chrome lacks build in update mechanism, which you can find in M$ version. Probably we have to wait for it till next release.
   How different is chrome from chromium?

4. Google chrome has become my fav browser in linux, firefox was always eating memory, Google must update google chrome for linux frequently :(

5. Techs Palace,

   I think he can do as he pleases, there’s more than one way to install the google chrome browses, since you down own this blog, go and write one for yourself and put a link here as reference.

6. Thanks….

7. Thanks!!! But I have one problem I don’t have google chrome’s icon under Application > Internet

   1. Dear bru,

      Open yout terminal and write this command
      [root@localhost ~]# firefox

      yd_125cc@yahoo.in

      1. don’t you ever read the title? it says google chrome.

8. when the commands r given, it asks for password… but iam not able to type it..when i type the password, nothing is getting printed on the screen..
   when i press enter it says -try again…
   [sudo]user_password
   this appears on the screen and after that u cant type anything!!

   1. Do you know what your password is? If you can just recall the password that you set for the account you used to login, use that

   2. Dear rom,

      Follow this command

      # su –
      Password ********

      ### and after that your Applicasion run

      yd_125cc@yahoo.in

      1. there is a thing called sudo, if you don’t know it, learn

9. thanx. for the help

10. Thanks! I’ve been typing all manner of silly variations of “google” and “chrome” and getting no results or being asked if I want to install Googlizer.

11. Hello everybody, i wanna ask one question – Im on Debian x64 and i wanna install Chrome on it but when i run the terminal type the command ok but when i type the passwork it says:
    papasd is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

    Please, tell me how to fix this problem cuz i really want Google Chrome!

    1. Dear papasd,

       To edit the sudoers file, you first need to be root. My guess, from this question, is that you have not enabled root access for your installation, correct?

12. Definitely i install via software manager rather than commands!

13. when i run command rpm -ivh google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm it gives an error as: lsb >= 4.0 is needed by google-chrome-stable-13.0.782.220-99552.i386

    i am using Fedora 13

    1. Check to see what version of lsb do you have maybe. Try rpm -a | grep lsb

    start chrome from the bash prompt in ubuntu

    know if you can even start a program
    by clicking the mouse in xmonad . I am glad someone
    someone knows how to use bash to start a program
    or I wouldn’t be able to find out how to do it by asking them if they didn’t know how to do it .
