Normally users have access to their profile data, but there are mis-configure systems where this assumption does not hold. This leads to weird behavior and bizarre bugs. I feel we need more sanity checks and warn users that their profile data is messed up.
In bug 7733, a user wrote: "I found the problem in my case - the file "C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State" had lost *all* of its permissions. Chrome couldn't even READ it." In bug 22241, a user wrote: "Scratch that last -- I do have a ~/.config directory. It is owned by root and contains one file: Trolltech.conf. I probably ran some Qt app under sudo. So apparently if Chrome can't write to ~/.config, it puts the profile directory under ~ instead. Bug or feature?" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
