This is definitely something in SELinux. The current upstream
google
chrome is a little strange from an SELinux point of view. Have you
tried chromium?
well, no. Advice on this llist over last year or so is that
google-chrome is better.
I can always fall back on firefox....
At least I know my problem is Selinux.
And in this case evidently something that can't be fixed.
I would think this will be viewed by many fedora users
as a real black mark on Selinux.
Unless google-chrome is at fault.
More detail on how I was running:
from a backup copy of F!4
I had just done a yum update.
If I now go back to my main F14
(and dont do the yum update)
then google-chrome works as it has been.
so it was some glltch in the yum update
