At one point I was using Chrome and then one day it just stopped working. All of a sudden it would open but the "Oh Snap" warning would come up. It doesn't matter what I do, it only shows the "Oh Snap" page.

I wanted to uninstall Chrome and then re-install it but as much as it shows up in Dash Home as installed, it does not show up in the Software Center so I can un-install it.
I did find the Chrome folder (filesystem/opt/google) but even when I try to trash it (shift+delete) it does nothing and I can't delete it.



Is there a way to get rid of it (cleanly) so I can attempt to re-install it?
If I attempt to install a new version of Chrome does it overwrite the old one?
(and how do I do that since it's not showing up on USC?)
Is there a kind of compatibility issue having both browsers installed?



I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from an USB on a HP Pavillion Laptop.

To uninstall it, open a Terminal with alt+t or by searching for "Terminal" in Finder. Then run:



sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable



and enter your password when prompted.



You'll need to add Chrome to your repo sources. Run the following in the terminal:




  • Add Chrome to your sources list:



echo deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list




  • Add Google's public key:



sudo wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -




  • Update your sources:



sudo apt-get update



You now can then reinstall it with:



sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
