That looks awefully familiar and there's a partial answer to your question in the comments
There's no official canary release for linux - There's releases for windows, and I believe OS X only. If you really must run canary in linux, it does seem to work in wine. Canary merely is an official, nightly build for windows and OS X.
The official explaination is that the nightly builds of chromium work perfectly well (other than a few plugins) due to logistical reasons. I suppose since linux covers a wider array of distributions, and hardware.
If you REALLY need a bleeding edge chrome build, go with a nightly build for the distribution or try it out in wine.
