I haven't remember that what I did on my system that cause the chrome browser not working. All the things were going fine but now when I click the chrome browser icon then it is not opening. I have re-installed it but still have the same problem.

I have gone through below practices to resolve this issue:

To reset chrome back to fresh install 

rm -rf ~/.config/google-chrome

and

google-chrome --disable-gpu

When I have tried it to open through terminal using command: google-chrome it returns me with below mentioned error:

ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
[8831:8831:0228/065113.899190:ERROR:sync_control_vsync_provider.cc (62)] glXGetSyncValuesOML should not return TRUE with a media stream counter of 0.

It works when I turn off the "Built-in Display" in System Settings -> Displays menu.

Can anybody please help me.

Thanks

  • I just have revert the settings under the Software & Updates then Updated system software to go through Software Updater. I also restore the settings to use this command: dconf reset -f / But after all that Chrome is still not working. – Gagan Mar 02 '18 at 15:37
  • The question explaination helped me. `google-chrome --disable-gpu` worked for me. – Satish Chandra Gupta Dec 26 '21 at 13:27

Hayee everyone, its working now!

I just made some settings under the Setting >> Display. First I checked the mirror option and applied and then again uncheck the mirror option and select the Built-in-Display next to the Launcher Placement.

I have found this trick here on the same forum: Google Chrome browser doesn't open in Ubuntu 16.04

Thanks to all of you!
