Ubuntu – Unable to launch chrome – Ubuntu

google-chrome

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

Release: 14.04

Codename: trusty

Google Chrome 48.0.2564.82

When launching Chrome on a fresh installation, it crashes. We get this error (when launched from the command line):

$ google-chrome [7251:7251:0123/174646:ERROR:logging.h(808)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager.GetManagedObjects: object_path= /: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetManagedObjects" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager" doesn't exist [7251:7251:0123/174647:ERROR:logging.h(808)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager.GetManagedObjects: object_path= /: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "GetManagedObjects" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager" doesn't exist Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Any further data I can provide that would help?

I'm running ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64.

Remove it all and restart, for one. Next have you downloaded the file from the main page?

If so make sure you download the right version. My file name is google-chrome-stable-current-amd64.deb

https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ <---That's where I got it from.

Before you download the file check on the power button, about your system...Don't download x64 if you don't have that...Never had an issue with x32 on windows but I would still install the same as your OS...That might be the issue or you've installed it the wrong way!!!

If you got the file double click it and wait for the Ubuntu software center to install it for you.

Good Luck & I hope this helps.
