Chrome download fails

[JohnJasonJordan]

Software Update has been announcing a new version of Chrome for at least several days on my Fedora 16 x86_64 computer, but every time I tell it to install the update I get an error message that the download failed "no more mirrors to try." I suppose I should just uninstall it, since I never use it. But I'd rather figure out what is wrong.

Is the ""no more mirrors to try." error message failing on the google-chrome repo, or some other repo site. If it's on some other repo site, just disable that particular repo, at least temporarily. If it's the google-chrome repo site failing, then try this instead:

wget http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64/google-chrome-stable-19.0.1084.46-135956.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum update google-chrome-stable-19.0.1084.46-135956.x86_64.rpm

I found the Chrome repo and unchecked it (in Yumex). That made the update disappear. Then I used your wget and yum update lines to update it. I now have the latest. But if I leave the Chrome repo disabled then I won't get notices of new updates. And if I enable the Chrome repo it will fail to download the package.

Oh well. I spent an hour trying to get Chrome to look less ugly and finally gave up. Like all things Google, you do it Google's way. I'll just stick to Firefox.

Thanks for the tips for fixing the problem.

i noticed (for me it was like this) that when I tried to update it would fail telling me not enough mirrors or some crap but by doing wget the newest version of chrome it actually downloaded... slowly but it downloaded Weird that it hangs for a few seconds so when I try to automatically update it times out... THANX!
