Chrome Icon Not Appearing in Launcher – Fix Guide

11.0464-bitgoogle-chromeiconsunity

I've been using Chromium for some time now, but I decided to switch over to Chrome. More features.
Anyways, I found that when I launch Chrome, its icon doesn't appear in the Launcher.

Do any of you have this problem, or is it just me?

I'm running x86_64 version of Natty and Chrome 14.0.797.0 dev build.

I fixed the problem a long time ago. Sorry for not posting the solution.

Anyways, just add the icon to the launcher, then log off and log back in. It should work after that.

That's the only workaround I have.

Ubuntu – Google Chrome not starting

I was able to fix this by deleting all files in /home/USERNAME/.config/google-chrome/ which forces Google Chrome to regenerate all configuration and profile files. You should be able to do this with a single command:

rm ~/.config/google-chrome/*

Keep in mind that this will delete all of your bookmarks and settings. So (hopefully!) you have them synced with your Google account or backup somehow.

You can change folder's owner.. it worked for me sudo chown username ~/.config/google-chrome/... Good luck.

Ubuntu – Chrome or chromium window doesn’t appear after opening

Let try this.. Go to system setting -> Select display setting Check whether how many displays are enabled. If enabled more than one then turn off the unused display or enable mirror option. This can solve your issue.
