Installed Chrome via root and couldn't open it as root. Then logged in via normal user and tried to start chrome but nothing happens. No error, no message, just nothing happens. Any idea why and how to fix it? Thanks

Can you try running Chrome from the terminal and posting errors you get? Thanks. – Seth Jan 27 at 1:04

Could you please edit your question to explain why you "installed Chrome via root"? – vasa1 Jan 27 at 4:19

BTW, did you search for "how to install Chrome as root"? There are several hits with ways about doing so. But it's not something the "average" user should be doing, IMO. – vasa1 Jan 27 at 4:26
