I've looked, but not seeing anyone else with this issue. Chrome installed just fine, but Cinnamon does not see it.

I assume you mean that the Google-Chrome icon isn't in the menu. On my install the Google-Chrome icon wasn't in the "Internet" menu file, it was under "Other". If its there, its easy enough to move. Right click on the menu icon, select edit menu, , click on the "Other" file, find Google-Chrome and drag it to the Internet file. If the icon isn't in the "Other" file (or any other file), then check to see if there is an icon in /use/bin. If its there, right click on the menu, select edit, select new item. Put in the name, then under command, browse to /usr/bin and select Google-Chrome.

On my installations, Google-Chrome is also in /opt so you can use that file instead.

I'm having this issue too. I can launch chrome just fine by running

Code: Select all

google-chrome
but it does not appear in any menus. In fact, it seems that the menu editor cannot edit my menu at all. The buttons just don't do anything.


EDIT: I just got tired of Cinnamon and its little problems. Back to Gnome Shell I go!
