Where is the google-chrome instance?
I want to open google-chrome,but can't:
debian@debian:~$ which google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome
debian@debian:~$ google-chrome
[6605:6605:0713/170233.016537:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(1004)] Failed to create socket directory.
[6605:6605:0713/170233.016697:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1278)] Failed to create a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. This means that running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile corruption.
I can't find where the instance is ?
debian@debian:~$ ps aux |grep google
debian 6648 0.0 0.0 12684 820 pts/0 S+ 17:02 0:00 grep google
debian@debian:~$ ps aux |grep chrome
debian 6651 0.0 0.0 12684 876 pts/0 S+ 17:02 0:00 grep chrome
Should i free up space?
df /
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 191293324 73507036 107999460 41% /
The error basically means that chromium can't create its "ProcessSingleton" socket.
Check if the /tmp
is set as chmod 1777
.
These special permission are so that all users can write to it,
but only the owners have access to their objects within.
Consider cleaning out /tmp
of anything that looks related to
chrome or chromium. (Have you also installed chromium?)
/tmp
night also be full, and in that case clean up some space.
It's not saying that an instance is running.
It's saying that inability to acquire a lock would make it possible to run multiple instances, which in turn would lead to profile corruption. Therefore it's refusing to start.
