In my last post, I have shown you how to install Google Chrome on CentOS 7 / Ubuntu 16.04 / Linux Mint / Debina 9. I have installed Google Chrome as root user and when I tried to start Google Chrome it given the following error.
I was looking for the solution; by googling, I have found an easy way to enable root user to run Google Chrome.
Follow the steps to run Google Chrome as root user in CentOS / Ubuntu / Debian / Fedora / LinuxMint.
Open a terminal.
Edit the /usr/bin/google-chrome and add the “–no-sandbox” at the end of the last line (Line No: 42).
vi /usr/bin/google-chrome
FROM:
Line Number: 35
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH export CHROME_VERSION_EXTRA="stable" # We don't want bug-buddy intercepting our crashes. http://crbug.com/24120 export GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG=SET_BY_GOOGLE_CHROME exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"
TO:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export CHROME_VERSION_EXTRA="stable"
# We don't want bug-buddy intercepting our crashes. http://crbug.com/24120
export GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG=SET_BY_GOOGLE_CHROME
exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --no-sandbox
That’s all. Now you can start Google Chrome from the menu as root.
