I just upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 & now Google Chrome no longer works.

Firefox is fine (as far as it goes) but Chrome just swells for a bit & then

doesn't launch at all.




Firstly, try running it from a terminal & watching for error messages.



Also, try removing it, purging its settings, then reinstalling a

freshly-downloaded copy.




Yeah, that's the best option methinks.



It's not so life threatening: I only upgraded to 13.04 today in order to upgrade to 13.10 tomorrow because 13.04 goes EOL this month & I didn't want to be stranded at 12.10 on this machine.


I don't know about THIS month... looks like April is still a few weeks away, but if you don't want the release merry-go-round 12.04 LTS should be good a few more years.

 But I'd still like to know as to why this is happening.



You might learn something interesting when you launch it from a terminal, HOWEVER even if you installed it using Google's repository, the upgrade utility usually disables everything it doesn't know about. I would guess that some essential bit of code got nuked in the upgrade purpose and since you were using Chrome instead of Chromium the upgrader stomped all over it.
