Sorry Jaromil, but I can't reproduce this. I am running beowulf. I had no /etc/machine-id. I installed the Chromium package through apt-get. It complained that I needed to install chromium-sandbox as well, and I did. I launched it from a terminal and it "worked" (no machine-id so far). Then I closed it, created a /etc/machine-id with: # head -c 4 /dev/random | md5sum | cut -d " " -f 1 > /etc/machine-id and restarted it. It worked. Then I changed the machine-id and restarted it several time, and it worked. Then I put /etc/machine-id equal to your "d34dc0d3d34dc0d3d34dc0d3d34dc0d3" and it worked. Then I removed /etc/machine-id again, and chromium still works. Then I also stopped dbus and removed /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, so no /etc/machine-id, no /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, and no dbus running. Close and open again, and it works. Then I uninstalled chromium because it sucks anyway. We shall probably dig a deeper into this...
