I just reinstalled Ubuntu 15.10 on my laptop, so I want to install Google Chrome. First time, it was installed by Ubuntu Software Center which I downloaded deb file from official Google Chrome website, but it don't have any response when I launch the Google Chrome from terminal or search app by super key. I already tried to install by terminal via PPA:

deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

It still don't have any response.

I had tried to start app by terminal it didn't launch any thing and don't have any error like this.

ps. tell me if you want more details

You can download .deb file of chrome from https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html And install directly

Install Google Chrome from a terminal using the following method - open a terminal and execute: 

echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list  
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -  
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

In case you receive an apt-get update error ... you can ignore it - once Google Chrome is installed, the settings get overwritten and the error will not occur and be displayed from now on anymore.

Launch Google Chrome as a normal user and not as root like you did according to the screenshot.

Update addressing your response that you still cannot launch Google Chrome web browser:

Make sure that you are logged in to the normal user account and do everything as a normal user.

1.) Delete the folder /home/your-user-name/.config/google-chrome.

2.) Uninstall Google Chrome: sudo apt-get purge google-chrome-stable.

3.) Reinstall Google Chrome: sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable.
