When I fired up the Google Chrome on backtrack 5 , It gave me a dialog! Here is the content:

Google Chrome can not be run as root

Please start Google Chrome as a normal user.
To run as root,you must specify an alternamte –user-data-dir
for storage of profile information.

Solution:
open terminal then launch the following commands:
cd /opt/google/chrome/
vi chrome
use “/geteuid” to find “geteuid” and replace with “getppid”
:wq!

Open Chrome again!
