I'm currently testing Ubuntu from a flash drive on my Windows system. I tried to install Chrome using a downloaded .deb file through the App Center. When I try to launch Chrome by clicking the logo, nothing happens. I want to see if there are any error messages that could help me diagnose what's wrong with the installation. How can I check for these messages or find the executable to troubleshoot this further?

If you're having trouble finding the executable, try using the TAB key for autocompletion in the terminal. Just type `chr` then hit TAB; it should suggest the right command. Also, look at the contents of the .deb file using `dpkg-deb --contents .deb` to check where the files are installed.
You can run Chrome from the terminal to see any error messages. Just type `google-chrome` in the terminal. It should show you any issues that arise when you try to start it. If you can't find the executable, you might need to check the installation files or look in the `/usr/bin` directory.
Make sure you installed Ubuntu properly on the USB drive. If you're just running the live environment, there might be limitations on installing software. If that's the case, you might want to consider doing a full installation instead.
