My Google Chrome profile can't open correctly

Question

When i open Google Chrome ( Stable version ) i get dialogue box it say :

"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 and one more thing i always get bug report about google-chrome-stable version ( i always update the system and chrome too).

How i resolve this problem without losing any data on my profile?.

Answer 1

Try re-owning your files.
sudo chown -R username:username /home/username

This should not mess up anything (as files in your home should be owned by your own user). By the way... Chrome gave me this error when I downgraded. (I had to delete my profile and use sync.)

Answer 2

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.
