I'm trying to install google chrome using puppet on a bunch of linux machines (SLES 12) and I don't want any dialogs that the user has to answer before they can start browsing. This is mainly because the "user" will be Selenium and it doesn't like unexpected things.

I can't for the life of me stop the dialog that asks me two questions:

enter image description here

I'm going mad. I've tried every preference (via master_preferences) I can find and it still haunts me. My master_preferences:

{
    "homepage" : "http://www.puppetlabs.com",
    "homepage_is_newtabpage": false,
    "distribution" : {
        "ready_mode" : true,
        "skip_first_run_ui" : true,
        "suppress_first_run_bubble": true,
        "suppress_first_run_default_browser_prompt" : true,
        "show_welcome_page" : false,
        "make_chrome_default" : false
    },
    "first_run_tabs" : [
        "new_tab_page"
    ],
    "browser" : {
        "check_default_browser" : false,
        "suppress_first_run_default_browser_prompt" : true
    },
    "sync_promo" : {
        "show_on_first_run_allowed" : false
    },
    "show-first-run-bubble-option": 0
}

I can't find any relevant policy settings.

Try this setting: http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#MetricsReportingEnabled

You may also need to enforce the setting to make (or not make) Chrome the default browser: http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled

You can achieve what you described by starting the browser then close it then start it again (for the same user data directory), this worked for me on Linux and I got no popup in the second startup.

Else, if you have access to the user data dir, you can create the file First Run (with space) in the root of it, with empty content, then no popup should be shown on the first startup.
