Dear readers,
Since my upgrade to opensuse 11.3 the Chrome browser is not usable anymore
it exits as soon as I click on a link, this is the same for the stable,
unstable and beta package.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Peter

I also tried one from http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html but no
difference.

Kind Regards,

On my system, it shows a requirement of libbz2.so.1

The subdirectory should be "google-chrome",
not "google- chrome".

I actually renamed "Local State" and Chrome
simply recreated the file.

Thanks but it does not make any difference here.
