New issue 344358 by johnjayl...@gmail.com: Error opening profile on browser
launch
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=344358

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/32.0.1700.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Run chromium-browser in your favorite way, command line or .desktop file
2. Don't close chromium, but re-run chromium-browser.
3. New browser window opens with profile error.

What is the expected behavior?
A new browser window should open with the same profile and no warning.

What went wrong?
This used to work for years using the outlined steps above, and recently
stopped working.

Did this work before? Yes until my most recent browser update. It worked
for years until at least version 30.

Chrome version: 32.0.1700.102 Channel: stable
OS Version:
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0

I was told this is a separate issue from
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=308224

When run from the command line, I get the following output:

I had the same problem today, although I wasn't even aware I had more than
one instance of Chrome started. It happened after trying to restart Chrome
after a crash, with zombie Chrome processes holding the lock. The user
interface was particularly unfriendly:
(1) The error message does not mention anything about the real cause of the
problem (another (kind of) running instance of Chrome). To help search,
here is the error message in textual form: "Your profile could not be
opened correctly. Some features may be unavailable. Please check that the
profile exists and you have permission to read and write its contents."
(2) I had to click OK 3 times to make the 3 identical popups go away.
So even if the Chrome developers decide that they don't want to support
multiple Chrome instances, the user interface by which the user is informed
of this still needs serios improvement.

I'm attaching some screenshots and logs.

To answer #3: I'm not the original poster, but my problem occurred with
Chrome Version 33.0.1750.146 Stable running on a fresh install of Linux
Mint Debian Edition 64bit (release 201403).

Hi.

In my case the SQL db remained locked after Chromium was updated because
there was an extension that maintained it's own window from the session
when the older version of Chromium was running.

To fix this problem we will need at least semi-reliable reproduction steps.

I just tried to reproduce on my ubuntu trusty machine and was unable to. I
have an instance of chrome running and ran google-chrome from the command
line. A new browser window popped up and the command line said "Created new
window in existing browser session." I am using stable version
38.0.2125.122.

So if you are experiencing this problem please give instructions on how to
reproduce it.

3. rm -rf ~/.config/google-chrome*
4. sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable
5. setup chrome with my google account
6. Problem is back after first exit.
