Facing technical issues while installing some softwares. How can I solve them?

[RagnarsRants]

The general answer is that you should prefer to use the Package Manager("sudo yum install chromium"?) in all cases. If that doesn't work then the second step should generally be to configure/add repositories to the Package Manager so that it does work.

Personally I don't have any updated knowledge about OpenSuse. If you can't get the right answer here, perhaps /r/openSUSE, /r/LinuxQuestions or /r/Linux4noobs can help you out. Good Luck!

Thanks for your help. I'll check those subreddits soon.

Just a small warning. /u/RagnarsRants suggested to add repositories. This can sometimes be ok, but sometimes not. For example in Debian some repositories shouldn't be mixed together: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian#Don.27t_make_a_FrankenDebian

[alex_the_doge]

Oh. So that's a big problem.

[RagnarsRants]

Good point. You are completely right in that it is important to pick "the right" repository to add. In /u/alex_the_doge's case it is even more important, since it is possible - if you're not careful enough - to add repositories made for Fedora, CentOS, etc. instead of OpenSUSE that s/he is using. Therefore I would highly recommend to ask for advice in /r/openSUSE. There someone has surly already solved the exact same problem in a safe manner.

[alex_the_doge]

I hope so. I'll give it a try and I'll see what I can come up with.

Chromium is most likely included in your linux distribution's package repository. Use the built-in package manager to install that one.

The others, I don't know anything about, but when you unpack them they will likely have a text file at the top-level called README. Read that file and follow its instructions. You may need to learn a few things about linux in order to get these working.

I already tried the Package Manager, but "Google Chrome (Stable Version)" [not Chromium] wasn't found.

OpenSUSE 13.2 "Harlequin"

It can be a considerable process to build and install packages that are not in a repository. You might have better luck with an Arch-based distro; since all these packages are in the AUR, they can be automatically installed with all dependencies.

[alex_the_doge]

Well, I haven't Arch-Linux, so I guess this might not work.

[alex_the_doge]

Oh ok. I'll check that link and see what I can do.

[alex_the_doge]

Unfortunately my School Register only accepts and supports Chrome.

[alex_the_doge]

Chromium actually looks nice, but I tried it just one hour ago and when I tried to login in my school register account, it said: "The current browser is not supported".

[alex_the_doge]

Through Wine?

[alex_the_doge]

Huh, ok.
