Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open Chrome 2. Wait for a little while 3. You should see a yellow exclamation mark What is the expected behavior? I expect it to notify me about actual updates available. What went wrong? Instead, it tells me an update for Chrome is available. Hence, I went to the Chrome download page and grabbed the latest .rpm and installed it. As you can see from the screenshot attached, it was a false error. I already have the latest version installed. So, why does it keep telling me I need to update my Chrome? Thank you! Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 66.0.3359.181 Channel: stable OS Version: Fedora 28 Flash Version:

Normally, chrome://settings/help will show you an update is available and prompt you to relaunch. That said, 66.0.3359.181 is the current Linux stable, so it's odd that it got flagged. Hopefully the installer team can take a look at this.

Thanks! Looking forward to the insights from the installer team. :-) Also adding some info about the YUMM repo I have enabled. /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo [google-chrome] name=google-chrome baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 skip_if_unavailable=True gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub enabled=1 enabled_metadata=1

Unable to reproduce the issue on reported version 66.0.3359.181 using Ubuntu 17.10. Steps -------- 1. Launched Chrome 2. Waited for one hour. 3. We are unable to see a yellow exclamation mark @As we are unable to reproduce the issue from our end. .Let us know if we miss anything. As we don't have ""OS Version: Fedora 28"" to test this issue. Hence forwarding this issue to Inhouse Team to have a look on this issue. Thanks!

@all currently doing more testing from my side to see if I can reproduce the issue. Haven't seen the exclamation mark for a while now. Not sure why...

Tested on Debian Rodete and Fedora and was not able to reproduce the mentioned issue on the reported Chrome #66.0.3359.181. This issue seems to be similar to the Issue 806590 . thomasanderson@ -- Could you please take a look into this issue. Thanks in advance!

That warning is telling you to restart Chrome, not to update it. It means you already have the latest version installed from an update, but you're currently running the older version because you haven't restarted yet.

Hmm I see. So shouldn't the message tell me this then? Instead of saying update available, I think better to say "restart your Chrome" :-)

+bettes I seem to recall the message in the menu asking to "restart to update Chrome" at some point. But now it just says "Update Google Chrome". Do you know why we changed it? |
