On running Google Chrome, then a while later exiting all screens (using the top-right [X]) on each, I notice that the /opt/google/chrome/chrome
process still persists, along with very many (20+) other sub-processes/threads.
On occasion, while these processes are still running and no Chrome windows are open, executing /usr/bin/google-chrome %U
via a desktop launcher icon will:
- Open four Chrome windows in quick succession;
- Report the following error for each new window:
If I dismiss all the error messages, close all the Chrome windows, terminate all the Chrome processes, then run the same command again, everything works fine. It is only on occasion when the processes are already running does this occur.
It is unclear to me where to check/set permissions on the profile. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix or avoid this problem?
UPDATE
- This question suggests the problem lies in the syncing of passwords. I have tried disabling this, but the problem persists.
~/.cache/google-chrome
directory, and a purge/install of google-chrome, but the problem persists. Also, yes, I have made certain that the configuration option "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" is unchecked. My Chrome version is also 41.0.2272.89 (64-bit), and I've been experiencing this problem for several versions prior to this..cache
. I'll try deleting.config.
Thanks.~/.config/google-chrome
and~/.cache/google-chrome
, re-installing from scratch, and the problem persists. I am beginning to suspect there is a problem around the fact I am using the sync feature for everything: bookmarks, passwords, etc.find ~/.config/google-chrome ~/.cache/google-chrome ! \( -readable -writable \) -ls
as regular user and post the result. This will uncover any files related to your Chrome profile, that aren't readable and writable by you.
