Comment #1 on issue 20982 by mm...@chromium.org: chrome won't start if username == hostname (aka chrome only starts as root) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20982
It sounds like your 'adam' user has a messed up configuration. At the very least, it has an errant lock file. I'm not sure where chromium-browser keeps its configs, but if you look in there (google-chrome keeps them in $HOME/.config/google-chrome, so I suspect chromium-browser keeps them in $HOME/.config/chromium-browser), do you see a 'SingletonLock' file? If so, try moving that, or maybe moving the whole $HOME/.config/chromium-browser directory, and see if it starts up properly. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
