google chrome launcher isn't working

Question

I just downloaded google chrome from official site of chrome, and installed it.
Now I locked it to the launcher. There is an Icon of google chrome. But when I click on it, nothing opnes. I always have to search in the dash and then have to open from the search results.
I want it to open from launcher as other programs do.
any solution for this?

see if it is this problem: http://askubuntu.com/a/437073/72216, it probably is. — Jacob Vlijm, Nov 22 '14 at 08:03

The above mentioned commands by @Smoke didn't worked, but they just started installing the google chrome again.
The real solution to this problem was mentioned in this question's answer... Chrome won't start from the launcher
