http://ubuntuforums.org – I've seen this in another thread but then the poster wanted to know how to remnove Chrome while I'd rather have it work. Here's the deal: Wanted to try out Chrome over Chromium, see if it's any faster Downloaded the 64-bit .deb from the Google website Uninstalled Chromium, just to make sure there'd be no crossover Double-clicked the .deb and Chrome installed itself through Software Center. Success. Called up Dash, typed "Chr", the Chrome icon appeared, clicked on it Waited. Nothing happened. Clicked again. Ditto. Fired up a shell, located Chrome in /opt/google/chrome. Went there.

Hey I wanted to use chromium version 24 and by chance I have found this ppa https://launchpad.net/~a-v-shkop/+archive/chromium-dev

I have installed it and was trying to change the icon of google-chrome. I found that it is installed in /opt/google/chrome directory and there are some png files that vary in size, replacing that with new png icon I wanted to use didn't work.

I downloaded Chrome from the official page. Once it was done downloading, I double clicked it to start the installation. It took me to Ubuntu's SoftWare Center, and I clicked "Install." Once I clicked that, the very beginning chunk of the orange bar always appears, but then just stops for no reason.

Help please?

I'm a chrome user and an enthusiast but few days ago I made Ubuntu get some updates using Update Manager, then I turned off my notebook and when I restarted it, I tried to start Chrome which after a few seconds turned the screen completely black, and some errors appeared for few seconds and then I got logged off, and had to re-login, and when I opened Chrome again the same thing happened!

To change the settings and access certain features of Chrome / Chromium, the common way is click the Wrench icon at the top right corner. However, Chrome/ Chromium has many other features that arent available in the menu.

I know this has been said many times but having tried everything, I'm going to start this thread anyways.

Chrome or Chromium? 30 weeks 5 days ago

After installing Ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop, I went to download Chrome and got an error saying it was packaged badly or something, so I read up about it and found out about Chrome, and most people suggest that Ubuntu users should use Chromium over Chrome, although a lot is down to preference.

I read that Chromium is almost a 'beta' build for Chrome, but is quicker etc.

For a bit of background, I am trying to install Chrome (or Chromium) on to a gentoo user account at my university.

Every time Chrome is updated, it reverts to opening small screen [NOT maximised]. This is very irritating.

In order to reset it to open maximised, you need to change the general command parameter in /usr/share/applications. Find the Google Chrome icon [desktop configuration file] and right click (clack). Select properties, which shows the basic properties.
