After putting the path u provide still the same error occurs.

You may want to try:

Code: Select all

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

Since /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable is a link

It's a wild ride from the google-chrome command to the chrome binary:

Code: Select all

command: google-chrome -> /usr/bin/google-chrome
 link: /usr/bin/google-chrome -> /etc/alternatives/google-chrome
  link: /etc/alternatives/google-chrome -> /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
   link: /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable -> /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
    bash: /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome -> /opt/google/chrome/chrome
     binary: /opt/google/chrome/chrome

The above is condensed view of the outputs of:

Code: Select all

$ which google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome

Code: Select all

$ namei /usr/bin/google-chrome
f: /usr/bin/google-chrome
 d /
 d usr
 d bin
 l google-chrome -> /etc/alternatives/google-chrome
   d /
   d etc
   d alternatives
   l google-chrome -> /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
     d /
     d usr
     d bin
     l google-chrome-stable -> /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
       d /
       d opt
       d google
       d chrome
       - google-chrome

and spelunking in the bash script /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

Code: Select all

:
export CHROME_WRAPPER="`readlink -f "$0"`"

HERE="`dirname "$CHROME_WRAPPER"`"
:
exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

You should use the same path as stated within the Desktop-Icon/Launcher of your google-chrome installation.
Right click on the (working) Google-Chrome Launcher -> Properties -> Edit and copy the path from the command field.
