Problems with Chromium browser

[AmitSinha]

Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 - with Chromium browser. This is my favorite browser, and I had become too much dependent on it(will all my passwords saved, and more..)
But, 2 days back, the power went off all of a sudden, and the backup failed too. So, there was an abrupt shutdown.

When I restarted my machine, Chromium would not start up ! I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but now I am open it only in the "temporary profile" mode. This way, I have to fill in all the details(password and all), when I am trying to open a website. Each time I open the browser, it forgets everything of the previous session.

Please help me out, to get my Chromium back.

Thanks in advance !
Amit

Hi,
Have you tried remove your personal configuration?

rm .config/chromium -rf

and start over.

If you can't get anything salvaged from clearing out the configuration files as above, you might want to try starting completely over

sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser

This will completely remove chromium and all personal settings from your system. Just to be 100% you might want to run

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install chromium-browser

afterwards. Assuming you are signed into chromium so that all your settings can sync, the browser should be able to pull everything back for you.

Thanks for the prompt response. The problem still persists. I tried both - clearing out the configuration files, and then re-installing the browser all over again.
What options do I have now ?

Thanks.
