it's not a problem with Chromium. You either have a corrupted "Preferences" file in your profile or wrong permissions.
Please try this: cd ~/.config/chromium/Default/ ls -l Preferences the file must be owned by you (not root or another user), and be in 400 mode (-rw-------) if it's ok.. ls -ld . the directory must also be owned by you and be in 700 mode (drwx------) if either is wrong, fix it (with chown and chmod). Also check all the other files in that dir. ("find . -ls" will show you) if both are ok and it's still broken, the "Preferences" file is somehow corrupted. Rename it to something else and restart chromium. It's a text file (a json file) so it's possible to investigate why chromium rejects it. Yet, it contains personal information so i don't advise you to post it here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787004 Title: Some features are not available.
