google-chrome 20.0 doesn't work in debian squeeze


I have installed chrome 20.0 in squeeze but it doesn't work, it doesn't open, when i execute it in console the process waits and the console doesn't show me any error.
¿Do you know where i can find a log file?

When i execute chrome 19.0 it works perfectly.

Does anyone know if this is a bug or is a problem of my computer?

Thank you.

Where did you install it in /opt?
If so go to the file & find the bin file & double click on it.

Why not just update the google chrome you have thru synaptic?
Or you can use Google chromes update tool, under the wrench & select about Google chrome & it will just update.

Well, the problem is solved thank you very much for both.

I have read the link but i got my own solution:

1)Get the flashplugin for chrome 19.0 is in /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash and is called libgcflashplayer.so (you can get it installing first chrome 19.0)

2)Update chrome

3)move libgcflashplayer.so into /opt/google/chrome/ with the last version installed (don't erase anything from PepperFlash folder)

4)run google-chrome in console like this: "google-chrome --disable-bundled-ppapi-flash --allow-outdated-plugins

Should work.

Thank you for your replies.
