Chromium giving trouble

[nezam05]

I’ve been using chromium for quite some time and it was working as expected. After a recent update, its

• Flickering
• not starting, hangs

I run chromium comment from fish and here is the output

6757:6757:0415/234105.718686:ERROR:chrome_browser_cloud_management_controller.cc(161)] Cloud management controller initialization aborted as CBCM is not enabled. Please use the `--enable-chrome-browser-cloud-management` command line flag to enable it if you are not using the official Google Chrome build.

When ran with --enable-chrome-browser-cloud-management, it only shows

[6490:6518:0415/234037.886829:ERROR:login_database.cc(998)] Password decryption failed, encryption_result is 2

Any help is highly appreciated

Try renaming your chrome/chromium/brave/etc. folder and then launch the app.

If you have it linked to multiple devices, you can go the easy route and just log in to the sync service.

The folder is usually found in

.config/browserName -> Example: .config/chrome or .config/google

Hey!
This actually solves the issue. But I was using a few profiles.
is there any way to get back those profiles?

Great!

I’m not that familiar with how chromium-based browsers organise profiles. With Firefox, I could just copy the profile folder and all is good. So try this:

• Close chrome
• Go into your old .config/browserName.
• Look for /Default, /Profile 1, /Profile 2, etc.
• Copy and paste them all into the new .config/broswerName

Let me know if that works.
