centos7 + chrome: unable to launch browser due to symbol lookup error
Posted: 2018/02/20 23:54:48
recently did an upgrade (via yum) to chrome on my centos7 machine and am now unable to launch the browser (as user not root) due to this error:
/usr/bin/google-chrome: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/google-chrome: undefined symbol: gtk_widget_get_scale_factor
all the usual reboots, clean installs, and system upgrades have been done
I have scoured the various forums and have seen little duplication of this error, when I have found instances there have not been many or any responses and any 'answers' have not worked
the closest I found to addressing this issue:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/453 ... n-redhat-7
but did not change anything for me...
If anyone might have some suggestions or insights it would be much appreciated. I'm not an IT guy, just a VFX artist trying to get some loaner machines going for a project, so I'm hoping I've glossed over something simple : )
OS: CentOS Linux 7.1.1503 'Core' (x86-64)
Cinnamon version: 2.0.14
Linux Kernel: 3.10.0-229.4.2.el7.x86_64
yum install https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/goog ... x86_64.rpm
many thanks!
