You seemed to have got confused between Chrome and Chromium. Also the
ubuntu recommendation is to use 32 bit. I have downloaded Chrome from
the google site and used the graphic installer without problems so far
on xubuntu for the last two years. [I did have a problem with
Chromium... can't remember what now it was a while back].
