    If you would have tested, Google Chrome latest stable doesn't works in Ubuntu 13.04 as it's need rebuild because of some dependencies problems.

    you left off the 'wget' in front of the 64-bit Chrome download.

    Thanks for this. Works a treat...

    It does not work for me with Raring beta 2 (Kubuntu). I get a dependency error whether I use wget or download directly from Google. I does not work using the commandline or Gdebi/ Software Centre.

    I have all of the recent updates installed. The dependency problem is libudev0 >= 147.
