My Google Chrome profile can't open correctly

Question

When I open Google Chrome (Stable version), I see the following dialog box:

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

I know for sure this problem happened only on Linux (Fedora 18) because when I use my Chrome profile in Windows, nothing goes wrong.

Also, I always get a bug report about google-chrome-stable version (I always update the system and Chrome too).

How do I resolve this problem without losing any data in my profile?

Solution 1

I've encountered this error several times and here is the way how i fixed it:

1. Close Chrome.
2. Delete the file named Web Data in ~/.config/google-chrome/Default.
3. Start Chrome again and everything should be fine.

Solution 2

Just removed rm -rf Web\ Data from ~/.config/chromium/Default.

• had to restart computer.

Solution 3

For me the solution was to look for chrome zombie processes. I've killed all of them and then chrome started to work ok again.
