The exception shows that no executable file with the name "/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --user-data-dir" can be found. Note that the executable file should be just "/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome". The option --user-data-dir should not be part of the process name.

This seems to be a misunderstanding. It seems that you modified the default settings for Chrome browser (in Tools > Options > General > Web Browser > Edit). There are two fields: Process and Arguments. The --user-data-dir should not be part of the Process (where it causes the problem described). It should be part of the Arguments.
