Chromium/Chrome not working in Ubuntu 14.04

Question

I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to my Dell Inspiron with Intel Core i7. Everything is OK except the Chromium. I completed the installation successfully from the Software Center. However when I try to launch it, nothing happens. Actually, it is running at the background but not displayed. I tried to reinstall it and also restarting my laptop. But, nothing changes.

Then I removed the Chromium and setup the Google's Chrome. Unfortunately, my problem is the same.

Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem, and still do. I just installed chrome beta and it fixed it, that's what I'm using right now. There really isn't much difference, and the current version seems perfectly stable

Chromeium appears to be working fine for me though chrome is an issue. The problem seems to be that Chrome is looking for a symlik to a library that is not there. This issue has occured before in 13.04, see How to fix missing libudev.so.0 for Chrome to start again? for the fix.

If you run it (Chromium or Chrome) from Terminal, what do you get as the output?

No output to console :(

Is there a directory ~/.config/chromium-browser or ~/.config/google-chrome?

Chrome Beta not worked for me. Can you share the download link. Maybe I downloaded the wrong distribution.
