Google chrome will not open at all. When I click on the icon for it in the launcher it flashes like it will open, the shortly after it closes. I have purged chrome from the system and re-installed it which worked, until I rebooted, then the same problem again.

Trying to launch it from the terminal it just appears to sit there until I manually quit it.

This is a known bug in the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (GNOME) Software application, but you can install Google Chrome in an alternative way ... open a terminal and execute the following commands :

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
