Google chrome browser isnt included in sabayon/gentoo ‘s entropy , heres how we install it ..
first off grab chrome here , now we install the package to handle .rpm wrappers
so we open package manager (rigo in sabayon) and install package named rpm or use terminal to install it with
emerge rpm
then in terminal cd to folder where you saved the newly downloaded google-chrome .rpm and type
rpm -i xxx.rpm
(xxx being name of package)
It will probably tell you that you cannot install the package because of some dependencies. If you think you meet these dependencies, then
rpm -i --nodeps xxx.rpm
(again xxx being name of package)
Now you can enjoy chrome and say goodbye to chromium with its broken hardware acceleration
see here for how to get the most out of google chrome
enter this in URL bar or click hyperlink if you are currently using chrome or chromium and tweak till your hearts content
This is how we want chrome://gpu-internals/ to look afterwards
Why don’t you just emerge the one from portage instead of using rpm?
