I just installed 16.04 yesterday, and tried installing Google Chrome. I downloaded the .deb from Google, opened it with Software Installer and installed it. So far, so good.
However, when I try to open Chrome from the Launcher, the Chrome icon pops up in the Unity sidebar but no window opens. When I right click the Chrome icon and select "New Window", the Chrome icon disappears in 5 seconds.
Has anyone else faced this on 16.04?
EDIT: When I try to run google-chrome here's the output
~$ google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: line 55: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
/usr/bin/google-chrome: line 55: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Success
~$ google-chrome-stable
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable: line 55: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable: line 55: /opt/google/chrome/chrome: Success
google-chrome
in terminal and post output TO YOUR QUESTION.
