I just uninstalled chrome version 55 because I noticed it wasn't automatically updated with apt-get update/dist-update.

I tried installing the current version of chrome in two ways:

  1. Downloading the .deb file from https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html and just double clicking on it.

  2. Following this instructions: https://askubuntu.com/a/510186/718495

In both ways Chrome got installed, but the name was incorrect:

Wrong name

Then I followed the instructions given here Google Chrome app name changed after installing LINE from Chrome Web Store with no successful results. The /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop file doesn't even contain the word "Feedback".

I tried locking this file directly to the launcher, but when I open it another icon named 'Feedback' appears. It's very annoying, what can I do?

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

  • Perhaps you need to delete the profile rather than reinstall Chrome. –  Jul 27 '17 at 20:04

    Thanks! I don't know if what I did was deleting the profile, but thanks to you I found the issue.

    I found that in .local/share/applications there was another google-chrome.desktop file that had this line Name=Feedback. I deleted the file and it's all back to normal.

  • That is the correct way to fix it. Please add this as the answer (you can answer your own questions). – Ken Sharp Aug 02 '18 at 04:03
