how to suppress "chromium didn't shut down correctly..." notification ?

[Marcellus Wallace]

Hi,
I'd like to make simple presentation screen : on startup, chromium
will start automatically and load a page in kiosk mode.

"chromium-browser -kiosk /folder/presentation.hml"

But the PC will be powered off with a power plug switch.

I'd like to disable the "chromium didn't shut down..." at each reboot.

How can I do ?

Thanks.

Why are you hard resetting the PC in this setup? That is generally not
advisable....

You could use the --user-data-dir= command line switch to use a
different user directory, then wipe it before each run of the
chromium-browser command. I assume the "chromium didn't shut down
correctly" message is based on data in that directory.

$ rm -rf ~/temp_data_dir; chromium-browser
--user-data-dir=~/temp_data_dir --kiosk preso.html

Thanks for your answer, but it's what I already do. I think there is a
log file in another place which I have to modify if I don't find how
to suppress this notification.

Ok I think it's ok now :
There is a config folder in .cache/chromium
so at each start, I erase it and I launch chromium with --no-first-run
option

I found useful commands flags here : http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

However, any preference you set afterward will not be stored.

This is VERY easy to fix. and to bypass. what im going to tell you is very simple and nobody thought to try it :)  what I did to fix this was to simply make sure you do a clean shutdown. (where if you where to bring up chrome again there would be NO error) then after that browse to AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\preferences.  then simply right click on it and bring up properties screen. then choose "READ ONLY".  this will prevent google chrome from writing the flag that will say "Clean-shutdown"false"  thus avoiding the unclean shutdown message..  cheers !!

This batch file solves both issues:

if not exist "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google" goto end
cd /d "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google"
attrib +r "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences"
taskkill /f /im chrome.exe
timeout /t 4 /NOBREAK
del /q /s *.tmp "Current Session*.*" "Last*.*"
start chrome

:end

Don't screw with attributes. Fix the actual problem.

Use sed for windows, cygwin, or some other viable replacement to the following command.

Before starting chrome, run: 

sed -i bak 's/\("exited_cleanly": *\)false,/\1true,/' "%USERPROFILE%\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Preferences"
