create a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. This means that
running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather
than opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid
profile corruption.

After having upgraded to new version of google chrome under Kubuntu 12.04,
I now have the same issue:

$ ~/.config$ google-chrome
[4335:4335:4797865555:ERROR:process_singleton_linux.cc(907)] Failed to
create socket directory.
[4335:4335:4797866281:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1552)] Failed to create

a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. This means that running
multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than
opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile
corruption.

and deleting the /tmp directory doesn't help

Sorry for the noise, the problem has disappeared after rebooting the
computer.
