#179657 — strange problem with chromium

Hi to Everyone,

Every time I start my newly installed Chromium (on Ubuntu 14.04), I get 
this warning message below. I have to cancel it twice before the app 
starts to work normally.

translated from French :
'Please type your password to unlock connection tool kit. The pasword 
you are using for the purpose of starting a session on this computer, no 
longer matches that of your connexion tool-kit'. Whichever paswords that 
may be relevant that I type or retype, are not reckognized.

in the maintime, this other warning displays : 'Impossible to read your 
preferences. Some functions may not be available, and your personal 
config may not be saved'

Every other software works OK on this system with no password problem. 
In fact, Chromium also seems to work OK, once I have cancelled twice the 
warning above, and whatever change I make is being recorded for next 
start, such as character size.

Thanks in advance for your advices

Bernard

Hi,

Any chance you chose the wrong mailing list?

Cheers,
Nik

I missed that part when I skimmed the email. Am writing to say that I
am experiencing something similar *occasionally* on Debian Stretch.
Was seeing it on Jessie, too. I'll grab the message next time I see
it.

It doesn't occur 100% of the time for me. I haven't figured out what
the trigger is, either.

Apt-show-versions says I have 55.0.2883.75-6 with it being upgradeable
to 57.0.2987.98-1. Apt-get has had the chromium package on hold for
quite a few weeks now in Stretch.

Those are just observations. It is what it is, there are no
complaints. This has been occurring for me through several upgrades of
chromium. It's not anything new. It ebbs and flows in frequency and so
far is only a minor annoyance. :)

That is something you should look into. Have you tried an 'apt-get
dist-upgrade'? It's sometimes necessary when running a release other
than stable.

Thanks to everyone for your replies. Sure, I should have addressed to the Ubuntu list... Anyhow, the replies I got here are good enough : chromium works OK, only trouble is at start... and I now know that other people have a similar problem on Debian. I think it is likely to be a connexion problem with 'my' Google account. I didn't even remember having a Google account, but, maybe, a few years ago I had got one for Google Groups.

Upon installing Chromium, I didn't know that it had anything to do with Google ; I knew that Google Chrome had used the Chromium code, but I did not suppose that Chromium had tied itself with Google in return ; I'd rather thought of a conflictual relationship between the two.

I also have a Debian system on this other computer ; it is old Lenny, which I don't intend to upgrade, since I have so many things I want to keep as is, that may require a lot of time to adapt to a new system ; instead I plan to ADD a new Jessie system on an additional hard drive that I will get installed in my desktop computer, which will allow a choice through multiboot. I don't have Chromium on Lenny, only on my Ubuntu laptop, I will install it on Jessie whenever I get it. 

But then, as far as web browsers are concerned, the problem remains : either you have problem with whatever needs Flashplayer, or you must go commercial through Google... 

Your advices on the flashplayer problem will be welcome

Bernard
