in linux you do not feel the difference between chrome and chromium and the latter does not have google EULA associated. — HongboZhu, Mar 20 '14 at 12:17

Just install Ubuntu Tweak and under the apps tab, you will find a link to install Google Chrome directly.

EDIT

Check images below:

Though now in your case, you will have to check the checkbox and then click install.
Hope it works out.

If you have downloaded a .deb package containing Chrome and try to install it by doing a sudo dpkg -i <my deb file>, the command dpkg will not be able to handle the dependencies. In your case, you will have to manually install the xdg-utils package prior to installing your Chrome package :

$ sudo apt-get install xdg-utils

then

$ sudo dpkg -i <chrome deb package>

Or as said by many others you simply install chromium with apt-get from the default Ubuntu repository, managing automatically all the dependencies. You will have the advantage to be able to easily update to new releases.

I think that you are trying to install an x86 package on a x64 machine. Is it true? If so, you should download and install the x64 version.
