Ubuntu – Change Google Chrome language

Download this shell script from here .

Give it Executable permissions. Once you open it will show a list of software. Select Java. It will ask If you want to install openjdk or Sun Java. Select whichever you want. It will work its charm and you're done.

One of the possibilities is that your browser's profile has been corrupted. Without doing anything that could cause you to lose data, you could try making a new profile as described here: Create a new browser user profile in the section on Linux.

But, in short (although you should read the link above completely),

• Make sure that Chrome is not running at all.
• Rename ~/.config/google-chrome/Default to ~/.config/google-chrome/Default.bak.
• Start Chrome. See if your problem is fixed.

Note that .config is a hidden folder. You'll need to enable viewing of hidden files and folders in your File Manager. Of course, if you use the command line, you could run something like:

mv ~/.config/google-chrome/Default ~/.config/google-chrome/Default.bak

If your problem is fixed, gradually copy over only files that you absolutely need (because some of them may be responsible for your problem in the first place) from Default.bak to the new Default folder that Chrome automatically creates.

Further, since you need your bookmarks, they are stored as a simple text file called Bookmarks in the Default folder so copying them over from Default.bak to the new Default should probably not break anything and give you back your bookmarks. Again, it's better to do this when Chrome is not running at all.

As for "configuration of my address bar", I don't know what that means. Perhaps you may want to edit your question to explain that aspect.

Edit: if you don't want to go the "new profile" route and if you have another Google account, you may try adding a new user. That option is available in chrome://settings. Do take look at the options which include importing stuff from another profile!
