Title:
  Apparmor stopping Google Chrome from launching in guest session

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  As mentioned in comment 5 of bug #1298021, it seems that Google have
  modified how they package Chrome in their repository.

  Based on the fix for that bug, it appears that Chrome was packaged as
  /opt/google/chrome-stable/google-chrome-stable, /opt/google/chrome-
  beta/google-chrome-beta or /opt/google/chrome-unstable/google-chrome-
  unstable based on the package version. The current stable package,
  google-chrome-stable version 36.0.1985.143-1, from the repository at
  http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/installs the binary as
  /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome, which doesn't match any of the rules
  added to Apparmor.

  Adding the following additional line caused the browser to work in
  guest mode for me:

    /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome Cx -> chromium,

  $ lsb_release -rd
