The Google Chrome browser cannot be run as the root user in Ubuntu

Google Chrome is preferred. After Chrome is installed on Ubuntu, the following prompt is displayed. I am used to using Google Chrome as a root user and do not want to switch. Tip: start Google Chrome as a normal user. If you have run Google Chrome as the root user, you need to change the ownership of your profile directory. Solution 1: #: xhost + # sudo-I-usophie/opt/google

Google Chrome is preferred. After Chrome is installed on Ubuntu, the following prompt is displayed. I am used to using Google Chrome as a root user and do not want to switch.

Tip: start Google Chrome as a common user. If you have run Google Chrome as the root user, you need to change the ownership of your profile directory.

Solution 1:

#: Xhost +

# Sudo-I-u sophie/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

The command is generally used to run chrome with sophie, but it is troublesome to open chrome before running it.

Note: before the first command, there must be no less

Solution 2:

Right-click chrome's shortcut icon, click Properties, modify command properties, and change:

/Opt/google/chrome/google-chrome % U -- user-data-dir =/root/chrome

Add the following -- user-data-dir =/root/chrome to specify the working directory. Here, the user's usage data will be stored, which will involve privacy issues.

Note: Some need to add/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome % U-user-data-dir,

Or/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome-user-data-dir = "/root/. config/google-chrome"

Solution 3:

Online access method, edit/usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop file, find the Exec line, change the value to/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome-user-data-dir = "/root /. config/google-chrome "should also work.

Note: I did not test, because in this application directory can not find the google-chrome.desktop file, the specific reason is unknown, may not write the reason, currently solution 2 to solve the problem, no problem.
