I recently installed the chromium browser on F38. It won't start. At least it won't stay started very long.
When I start it from the command line, I get this: $ chromium-browser [297210:297210:1123/181637.109041:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(353)] The profile appears to be in use by another Chromium process (2215) on another computer (localhost-live.midcoip.net).

I don't even know what that means. What profile? What is Midcontinent doing with it? How? Why is a "profile" even involved? Who is making money off my "profile"? How? I have no idea how I would unlock my "profile". I suppose the claim will be made that it is for security.
Grrr.
Restart you computer and try again. Let us know <win><R> shutdown /r /f /t 00
