Linux – Why is Google Chrome not starting after replacing udev with systemd-tools

arch linuxgoogle-chromeudev

I recently updated my system via sudo pacman -Syu. Afterwards, I proceeded to open Google Chrome, but it failed. When I tried to start it via the terminal I got the error.

/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

What is going on?

Best Answer

If you installed it from AUR, reinstall (yaourt -S) and then it will work again.

A link to /usr/lib/libudev.so.1.0.1 will be created in the google-chrome folder.
