I've installed Google Chrome using the Richard Lloyd 'install-chrome.sh' script (http://chrome.richardlloyd.org.uk/), and am finding a couple of nagging issues. (Current install is google-chrome-stable-46.0.2490.71-1.x86_64). First, every time I shut down Chrome and start it back up, it whines about not having been shut down "properly." Second, and worse, at start up, it complains about not finding my profile, then doesn't remember any logins/passwords. Even after re-entering such for several sites, the above repeats next time Chrome starts. Anyone seen/solved this? -- Tim Evans |5 Chestnut Court 443-394-3864 |Owings Mills, MD 21117

What I found was that chrome didn't seem to be shutting down fully -- leaving a process and the ".com.google.Chrome..." lock file in /tmp. After cleaning those up chrome would restart without issue. The release that you're running, which came out a few days ago, seems to have cleared things up for me.

Yes, I found 4 or 5 directories (not lock files) named ".com.google.Chrome..." in /tmp, as well as several running chrome processes left over from past exits. -- Tim Evans |5 Chestnut Court 443-394-3864 |Owings Mills, MD 21117
Yes, I have noticed this as well, both on CentOS 6 and 7. Once you exit the application, there are processes left running in the background. "killall /opt/google/chrome/chrome" usually takes care of them. Might want to submit a bug report with Google. Or use Firefox. :-) -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

On a centos-7 machine where I was having this issue, updating just chrome from: google-chrome-stable-45.0.2454.101-1.x86_64 to: google-chrome-stable-46.0.2490.71-1.x86_64 seemed to resolve this problem. I realize that the OP is reporting this issue, on C6, with the release I just updated to. By the way, I haven't run into this problem with the versions from their beta release channel. ------------ Original Message ------------> Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 13:58:34 +0100 > From: Nux! <nux at li.nux.ro> > > Yes, I have noticed this as well, both on CentOS 6 and 7. > Once you exit the application, there are processes left running in > the background.
