    Google Chrome No Longer Opening 24 January 2021 . . .

    It started this morning.
    Although Chrome is very much a #2 browser by me, I use it now and again.
    But this morning it just wouldn't open. I saw the fan swirl for a while and then . . . nothing.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled via:

    Code:
    $ sudo apt update
    $ wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/g...rent_amd64.deb

    Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.1-1) ...
    
    Then I tried starting Chrome from the CLI
    
    $ google-chrome
    /usr/bin/google-chrome: line 8: /usr/bin/readlink: Permission denied
    /usr/bin/google-chrome: line 10: /usr/bin/dirname: Permission denied
    /usr/bin/google-chrome: line 45: /usr/bin/cat: Permission denied
    /usr/bin/google-chrome: line 45: /usr/bin/cat: Success
    /usr/bin/google-chrome: line 46: /usr/bin/cat: Permission denied
    /usr/bin/google-chrome: line 46: /usr/bin/cat: Success
    
    And nothing happens . . . 
    
    I copy below the lines 8 & 10 of /usr/bin/google-chrome:
    
    1 #!/bin/bash

    8 export CHROME_WRAPPER="`readlink -f "$0"`"
    9
    10 HERE="`dirname "$CHROME_WRAPPER"`"
    Not sure what's wrong here.

    Try to Restart your system then open the chrome again. maybe there is something that has not loaded properly during the start of your system.

    Not much help, Mike_08.
    Issue is the same, restart, reinstall.

    It seems to be a permissions issue. Have you changed something regarding permissions?

    Yeah CelticWarrior is right this could be permissions. Try to change it.
