After upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04 my Google Chrome Browser stopped working. It wouldn't start when I clicked on it in the Unity Launcher so I opened a Terminal Windows and tried to start it there by typing in google-chrome. When I did this I got the following error;
/opt/google/chrome/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What the hell do you do? Reinstall Google Chrome right? Wrong, that didn't work. After some internet searching I found the following Terminal Commands that worked like a charm. You only need to run one of these commands. Which one depends on which 'bit' version of Ubuntu you have 64-bit or 32-bit (mine is 32-bit)
Open a Terminal Windows and type ONE of the below commands.
64-bit fix
sudo ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.3.5 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0
32-bit fix
sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1.3.5 /usr/lib/libudev.so.0
FIXED!!!!!!
Here's a link back to the site where I found this fix;
