Thread: Chrome won't start: permission denied

i've seen in thread poster wanted know how remnove chrome while i'd rather have work. here's deal:

1. wanted try out chrome on chromium, see if it's faster
2. downloaded 64-bit .deb google website
3. uninstalled chromium, make sure there'd no crossover
4. double-clicked .deb , chrome installed through software center. success.
5. called dash, typed "chr", chrome icon appeared, clicked on it
6. waited. nothing happened.
7. clicked again.
8. ditto.
9. fired shell, located chrome in /opt/google/chrome. went there.
10. type ./google-chrome. got bash: permission denied.
11. wut?
12. ls -l, root root, 755 more or less, looks fine on permission side
13. stumped

in fact, no binary in directory launch. when type ./google- , hit tab key autocomplete work magig, doesn't. upper directories 755. mind you, /opt directory mount point secondary hd have.

more things tried:

• sudo ./google-chrome. no result. no chrome process started. no entry in syslog.
• purged package through synaptic , re-installed. same problem.

thought permission problems easy solve 1 has me perplexed. ideas else look?

when said more or less 755, meant:
