Did you actually check if /etc/machine-id has 32 characters? 

Here:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5903622

People were reporting that error when /etc/machine-id doesn't exist.
It's not clear that Chrome really needs it, but the error was silenced
(there) by makint /etc/machine-id a synlink to the new machine-id file
location (/var/lib/dbus/machine-id).

Probably any appropriate looking content would be fine.
