You log in as yourself, and if you need to do system things, become root temporarily.Īlso, logging out will kill any processes started by you which haven't been placed in the background. I too would ask you to start over, by uninstalling and killing all chromium processes.Īn operational note, you really shouldn't be logging in as the system account. However, the browser still does not keep cookies after user logout. I did this by moving the whole /root/chrome-data (created earlier) directory to ~/.config/google-chrome and changing it's owner. I managed to fix (or at least I think so) the problems with Google Chrome errors and it does not log me out from Chrome Profile. I logged out, and then the following errors appeared: Failed to restore security token. So I closed Chrome, deleted /home/user/.config/google-chrome/Profile 4 directory and once again configured my account. This error does not appear when starting chrome as root with: sudo google-chrome -user-data-dir=/root/chrome-data -enable-logging -v=1

However, the folder /home/user/.config/google-chrome/Profile 4/GCM Store does exist. Failed to open database /home/user/.config/google-chrome/Profile 4/GCM Store: Invalid argument: /home/user/.config/google-chrome/Profile 4/GCM Store: does not exist (create_if_missing is false) I ran Chrome from the terminal using google-chrome -enable-logging -v=1įollowing errors did appear in terminal on browser startup: Failed to open database /home/user/.config/google-chrome/Profile 4/GCM Store: Invalid argument: /home/user/.config/google-chrome/Profile 4/GCM Store: does not exist (create_if_missing is false) config/google-chrome directories entirely. It did log me out even if I wasn't logged into any profile (so there weren't any addons installed as well, so I doubt it's an addon fault) Startup programs: Screencloud + ubuntu default ones It does not happen on other browsers, only on Google Chrome.Īddons: Reddit Enhancement Suite, Adblock Plus, Ghostery, ColorZilla, Json View

The problem does not appear when I do not log out from my system account (e.g. In case this is relevant, after I open Google Chrome there's an alert box next to my Google Chrome profile which says that Change made on my account requires logging in again (yes, it also logs me out from Google Chrome profile). However, some cookies do persist, as Google remembers which account I have logged in to, and I still have access to my company's gitlab as well - it's the only service I'm not logged out of. So I've got a really annoying problem and Google Chrome isn't providing me any information on what's causing it.Įvery time I log into my account I have to again, and again, and again log into every webpage I'm using, because Google Chrome logs me out of everything I am logged in to.
