Can’t update google-chrome on Fedora 17 anymore either.

Dependency errors:
# yum update google-chrome-beta

You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest

In reply to ravi. Searching the internet, I found the solution to the "Aw, Snap!" problem. The command "google-chrome -no-sandbox &" did the trick . Chrome still complains that this is an unsupported option, but still works.

I tried to upgrade from Chrome 42 to the latest ( a big mistake it as turned out). After the upgrade, the only thing I see is “Aw, Snap!” on all pages including ‘settings’. Please help resolve it. I am using scientific linux 6.x. Thanks.

As of today (2015-09-02), this script installs Chrome 45 which is COMPLETELY BROKEN. ALL WEB PAGES SAY “Aw, Snap”. No plug-ins can be loaded. PLEASE HELP US REVERT TO CHROME 44!!!

In reply to Donald. You have to switch from the root user. If you are on the terminal then, "su username" then type your password or you can also log off root from the GUI and log on a regular user. Now open the terminal and type in "google-chorme &" and everything should just work fine.

In reply to Jerald. I struggled with the same issue for a week and found that google chrome opened magically without any problem after I did "rm -rf ~/.config/google-chrome/*". Try it and hope it helps you.
