Software :: Chromium Profile Undeletable?
Jun 24, 2011
I was doing a reinstall to a second partition of Ubuntu. I have one install of Ubuntu (11.04) running 32 bit, and just installed a version (11.04) running 64 bit on the other partition.I thought to have a common /home/ area on a third partition, knowing there might be some issues, but this one I didn't expect.Most of the install went great. Switched my /home to the new partition and I'm up and running.I installed Chromium (which is on both), and in general it works until I try to log in to a site (some site requiring credentials like gmail). Then it hangs. I can open new tabs, but can't access any more sites. I close Chromium, open it up again, and it says something about not being able to correctly read my profile.
Ok ... figured maybe my profile was horked. I deleted .config/chromium, uninstalled chromium, restarted (just in case), and reinstalled chromium. Same behavior.One /very/ weird issue. .config/chromium/Default/User StyleSheets/Custom.css beocmes undeletable, even to sudo. Once I restart the machine, I can delete it.I assume that's part of the issue (file issues), but I don't know why or how to fix it.Firefox works fine, but I'd much prefer Chromium since I've got everything synced there from other computers.

I got chromium to serve as my faster browser. And due to me being a huge privacy nut, I changed my settings and locked the profile by making it read only. I would like to add adblock, so I need to somehow make the profile normal again.
Heres the command I need undone:
chmod a-w -R ~/.config/chromium/Default

I've already gotten into the .mozilla folder and found the profiles.ini file. My windows XP system has it's Documents and Settings folder on a seperate drive (D:Documents and settings) And I've located the profile (application datamozillafirefoxprofiles) Now all I need to do is put the path into the profiles.ini file in the .mozilla folder in Ubuntu. The problem is I don't know exactly how to format it.
In windows the path is:
How would I translate this into something ubuntu "follows?" I already have the profile name changed as well.

I often use the option in Chromium to create 'application shortcuts'. These are instances of Chromium that make a website look more like an app by not including most of Chromium's toolbars. I use it for gmail and google docs and spreadsheets and calendar. In 11.04 I have set up Desktop launchers and copied them across to the Launcher (what an odd way to add something to the launcher, why no right-click 'add launcher' option?)
The problem is that the launcher thinks all these apps are chromium (which they are really, but I would like them to be seen as separate apps). If I minimize my gmail window, a little triangle appears next to the chromium icon, not the gmail icon. To get the window back, I have to click on the Chromium icon. Clicking on the gmail icon launches a new instance of it (also tied to the Chromium icon).

if i run chromium with --enable-gpu-rendering flag chromium's display looks like it's shattered into thousands of pieces and I can't understand a thing. This doesn't happens if I have a previous instance of chromium opened in the usual way, without any flag. In this case if I open another chromium window with the --enable-gpu-rendering flag it's display looks ok, but I can't figure out what's the problem and how could this be fixed if there's solution for it of course.

I made a shortcut with chromium browser to listen.grooveshark.com. This is great as it's almost like the grooveshark VIP desktop application like this. However AWN dock groups it with other chromium windows like this:Kuvakaappaus.jpg
Is it possible to force AWN to group this specific chromium window under the Grooveshark launcher that I have in the dock? Turning off grouping does not solve this either, as it just shows grooveshark as another chromium window.

How do I delete a profile on Ubuntu 10.04. A friend of mine was over and he added a profile on my computer and now sudo doesn't work, and on top of that when I go to update my comp it never prompts me for my password and just restarts the Update Manager.

I've recently installed virtualenv + virtualenvwrapper on Linux Mint 10 LXDE. For convenience I've added the standard WORKON_HOME settings to my ~/.profile
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/Envs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
Then I've noticed that workon does not work after login, which means the above commands were not run. If I source ~/.profile then it works. I'm really not sure what could cause .profile not being run? I've checked and I don't have .bash_profile or .

i have done this once before, but recently suffered corrupted profile.i have a dual-boot system, windows vista and ubuntu on one physical disc (hdo, seperate partitions). i have another physical disc (hd1) that has an ntfs partition, and on it are stored my firefox and thunderbird profiles.when i use firefox and thunderbird in windows, both profiles are on the hd1 drive (email, bookmarks, etc.)in ubuntu, i have the ntfs partition on hd1 automount, so that i can use it.
in ubuntu: i have made thunderbird share the thunderbird profile on this partition (hd1), but recently, trying to set up the profilemanager to access this has caused me problems and while starting thunderbird, i see all my emails for a brief second (in the inbox), and then they disappear.i am using the latest thunderbird from the unmaintained repositories (3.0.5), but i don't have a problem reverting back to an older version...i use it for gmail, so the folder i point profilemanager to is:/media/sdb1/Mozilla Profiles/Thunderbird/Mail/pop. gmail.com/Mail/pop.gmail.com
this is where my inbox, sent items are stored.can anyone give advice on how to get this profile to work well with thunderbird in ubuntu ? i have read the mozillazine help pages, but it's not specific to my situation because i am trying to share a profile i have moved to a seperate location ..

Where does Ubuntu store the profiles information for Terminal sessions (e.g., colors, title bar menu on/off, etc.)? I managed to turn off the menu then set that as a default and can't access the profiles menu any more.

I've been using Ubuntu with GNOME for the past few years and I'm looking at possibly switching to the KDE-based Kubuntu. I know I can have both DE's on my system and even found a tutorial on the Psychocats site for setting it up, but I have a question for the KDE gurus here. Can I safely use the same user profile between both GNOME and KDE or should I set up a new user for working in KDE? I haven't seen anything saying I can't but I really don't want to hose my GNOME settings in case I end up not liking KDE enough to use it on a daily basis.

I work for a public school and we are implementing a number of Ubuntu NBR 9.1 netbooks. I wanted to use Likewise Active Directory for authentication, but have problems with the software so now I'm onto another solution for our problem.
We are going to have one login for all users (Students, is the name). The problem with this is that Website passwords can inadvertantly be stored, potentially compromising users personal data. Additionally, I don't want to have any files left in the Students profile in case people accidentally save personal information in their files.I'm thinking there are potentially two solutions:
1. The Students profile is deleted when the user logs off. This will erase web history and files
2. The Students account is always logged in with a temporary profile (or no profile, if that is possible) that deletes itself at logoff because it is temporary.
I'm having a hard time coming up with search terms for a solution like this, so I thought I would put the question to the experts.

I miss seeing my picture in the MeMenu. Now that I've upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10, I notice it doesn't display there anymore. Does anyone know how I can add this feature back in? Not sure why this was removed, I thought it looked nice with the picture there.

I've recently re-installed Ubuntu 10.10 since I had some problems upgrading from 10.04. The pc is only used to read e-mail och browse the web, so I saved the profile folder from the old installation and put it in the .thunderbird folder in the new one. I also replaced the automatically generated profile name in the profiles.ini file, with the profile name from the old installation. I used this method once before, and back then I just started Thunderbird and it found all mails and contacts and so on. This time, it only shows the "Mail Account Setup" dialog box, in which you're supposed to fill in your accout information.

We have a stripped down version of Ubuntu 10.04 with no menu options for security. On the admin profile we have set up a terminal window for editing or adding users.We have created a second user with no admin privileges which we want to make the default on start up. This account is set to auto-login and takes them to a generic screen with just one icon to select and do anything with. I need to make this user the default on start up instead of the admin account as we do not want users knowing there is anything else available.When using the $ :users-admin in the terminal window to build the other account I have no option to make one or the other default. Is this done from the command line or is there another way of making this happen?

I can't log my account because i modify system wide profile, i installed java bundle with netbean. After it's completed, then i add the java path to system wide profile. either /usr/profile or /etc/profile. i don't remember. before i modify it, i change the permission using chmod 700. When it's done, i change it to 400 which is read and view only.
I can't login my account now. how do i fix it? how do log in root account to fix it? and i didn't activate my root account. it logs me in then log me out right away .
