Whenever I try to use google chrome, I see;

enter image description here

It does show the menu bar

if I hover over it

it just doesn't show up period, I already tried re-installing chrome.

Any suggestions?

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, Macbuntu theme, used the terminal to install chrome, chrome version is 52.0.2743.116

EDIT: Sorry if I don't respond in a day or two, school just started for me.

  • Ubuntu version? Theme? Chrome version? Steps to install Chrome? – TheWanderer Aug 18 '16 at 04:37
  • This is so not helping! You'll need to add more information such as what version of Ubuntu, how did you install Chrome, what sort of theme or flavor you're running... etc. Otherwise, this is just another post that I would ignore as usual. :) – AzkerM Aug 18 '16 at 04:50

try to open using command prompt see if it works

sudo google-chrome-stable

You can check version installed in your system

apt-cache policy google-chrome-stable

check it is newer if not then update using

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

you can also try chromium browser

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

this works similar

    Please don't use sudo with a GUI application like Chrome. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/11760/what-is-the-difference-between-gksudo-nautilus-and-sudo-nautilus. – edwinksl Aug 19 '16 at 11:49

What if you click "full screen" in the view menu?

if that didn't work, I'd suggest removing (sudo apt-get remove --purge google-chrome-stable) the program, and deleting all the cache and confing files of google before re-installing it again.

You can install Chromium as well its same as chrome by google itself.

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
