This is a known issue of chrome. Try the following:
- Quit Google Chrome.
- Open a shell.
- Change directory (cd) to ~/.config/google-chrome/Default
- Delete the file named “Web Data”: rm -rf Web\ Data;
- Start Google Chrome and the error should be gone.
Alternatively, you can try the following first:
1) Click on the tool icon on the top right corner of your chrome browser
2) On the drop down menu, click the signed in as .
3) Under users section, click the delete this user button and takes him off away.
4) Restart Google chrome and add the user and Chrome will be in a good shape..
Finally I have figured out the problem and here is what I did :
Step 1 : Uninstall Google Chrome
Type the following in your terminal
sudo apt-get remove google-chrome-stable
Step 2 : Remove all chrome links
This was necessary because in my system, because Google Chrome icons were still present in spite of removing Chrome after Step 1.
sudo su
cd .local/share/applications
ls -l
I found that google-chrome-stable.desktop
is still present here so I removed it by typing
rm -f -r google-chrome-stable.desktop
Step 3 : Reinstall Google Chrome
Download the latest google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
file (from here),
and install it using Ubuntu Software Center.
Step 4 : Post Installation settings (Most Important)
Navigate to /usr/share/applications
directory using GUI, then drag and drop the Google Chrome icon into the docky.
Thats it...
Now you can launch Google Chrome from docky with just a single icon.
