It appears Chromium AppImage doesn't like being launched off a flash drive: (chrome:9102): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /mnt/Drivey/PortableApps/LinuxPACom/Home/.config/ibus/bus is not belac! [9102:9102:0914/020344:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(273)] Failed to create /mnt/Drivey/PortableApps/LinuxPACom/Home/.config/chromium/SingletonLock: Operation not permitted [9102:9102:0914/020344:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1694)] Failed to create a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. This means that running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile corruption.

What filesystem do you have on your flash drive and does it support owners?

CalebQ42 commented 8 years ago

fat32 (I know it's probably part of the problem, but I need to have my flash drive work on both Linux and Windows)

probonopd commented 8 years ago

Yes that's likely the problem. You could have a loop-mount ext4 on the fat32.

CalebQ42 commented 8 years ago

how would I go about doing that?

probonopd commented 8 years ago

Something along the lines of http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43903/create-file-image-container

CalebQ42 commented 8 years ago

So what you're talking about is creating a file system image on my flash drive? In general I want to stay away from that since I want my linux apps and my windows apps all in one place.

CalebQ42 commented 8 years ago

Part of me wants to just format my drive to ext4, but I have several utilities on there for Windows that I use when helping my family with computer problems and I still want them to be accessable without needing to download Ext2Fsd or some other utility.

CalebQ42 commented 7 years ago

Issue happens when flash drive isn't EXT
