Slackware 14.2 x64 - Chromium 83 wouldn't start
by glupa4e from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5534D)
Hello,
i installed the latest version of Chromium from Alien Bob's repository. Now i get the following error:
Code:bash-4.3$ chromium-browser
[22786:22786:0626/212952.641252:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(1002)] Failed to create socket directory.
[22786:22786:0626/212952.641400:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1258)] 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.Here is the version
Code:bash-4.3$ chromium-browser --version
Chromium 83.0.4103.116Please let me know if i can help you with further debug messages.
thank you!
