Google Chrome v12 not working in openSUSE 11.4

By
Just installed Google Chrome v12 in openSUSE 11.4, everything seems great. But when I tried to run it nothing happens.

I fired up konsole and this shows up

timus@opensuse114:~/Downloads> google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
timus@opensuse114:~/Downloads>
Looks like we have missing dependencies. Searching repo, like:
zypper search libpng

shows the following...
S | Name                  | Summary                                                      | Type  
--+-----------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+--------
  | libpng12-0            | Library for the Portable Network Graphics Format (PNG)       | package
  | libpng12-compat-devel | Development Tools for applications which will use the Libpng | package
  | libpng12-devel        | Development Tools for applications which will use the Libpng | package
i | libpng14-14           | Library for the Portable Network Graphics Format (PNG)       | package
  | libpng14-compat-devel | Development Tools for applications which will use the Libpng | package
  | libpng14-devel        | Development Tools for applications which will use the Libpng | package

The following command fixes it.
sudo zypper install libpng12-0

Just out of curiosity, i did:

opensuse114:/home/timus/Downloads # rpm -qR google-chrome-stable
rpmlib(VersionedDependencies) <= 3.0.3-1
lsb >= 3.2
libasound.so.2 
libcairo.so.2 
libcurl.so.4 
libgconf-2.so.4 
libnss3.so(NSS_3.12.3) 
libpangocairo-1.0.so.0 
libsqlite3.so.0 
libbz2.so.1 
libXss.so.1 
libjpeg.so.62 
wget 
xdg-utils 
zlib 
/bin/sh 
/bin/sh 
/bin/sh 
/bin/sh 
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadIsBzip2) <= 3.0.5-1

So there you go, the rpm file that comes from Google is missing libpng12-0 dependency. I would really hope that this gets fixed in upcoming releases.

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file install VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Ubuntu 11.10

By
Tried to update my Ubuntu host today and it did pickup that new version of VirtualBox is available (4.1.8). All other packages installed properly except that VirtualBox installation was complaining about missing dkms.conf file, see error message below. $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. File: does not exist. [ OK ] * Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Though it looks like installation was fine but I am concerned about its effects to VirtualBox functionality. To fix this, do: $: cd /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost $: sudo rm -r 4.1.4 $: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Of course you have to re...
