So I am having the problem it seems everyone is having trying to download Chrome on the new Ubuntu distro. I followed this step-by-step online:

http://techhamlet.com/2011/10/installing-google-chrome-on-ubuntu-11-10/

The commands seem to run...But nothing seems to happen as a result, or I'm too dumb to know where the executable is being put.

bearnun@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb 
(Reading database ... 125055 files and directories currently installed.)

The link also seems to be the most prominent solution on the web, so I am tempted to delete this version of linux and try setting it up again.

Any better ideas?

EDIT: Not sure exactly what the deal was, but I ended up redoing my Ubuntu distro altogether and google chrome ended up installing fine the second time around. Thanks for the response!

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

The binary should be under

/usr/bin/google-chrome

With the following command you should see all files of "google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb":

dpkg -L google-chrome-stable
