Chromium not starting when hostname is changed

[klenzel]

What were you doing?

Change Hostname in /etc/hostname

What did you expect to happen?

System is running fine with new Hostname

What happened instead?

Chromium is not starting. Instead, a black blank screen is displayed. If i turn back the Hostname to "fullpageos" an restart the system, the chromium-browser comes back.

Was there an error message displayed? What did it say?

dpkg-query: no packages found matching bluealsa [16685:16685:0129/042154.956623:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(353)] The profile appears to be in use by another Chromium process (3746) on another computer (fullpageos). Chromium has locked the profile so that it doesn't get corrupted. If you are sure that no other processes are using this profile, you can unlock the profile and relaunch Chromium.

2023-12-11-fullpageos-bookworm-armhf-lite-0.14.0 Same with stable Version.

Hello, I had same problem. Try to google SingletonLock in chromium. I change hostname by script and this line solved my problem: rm -rf /home/pi/.config/chromium/SingletonLock

Can confirm rm -rf /home/pi/.config/chromium/SingletonLock solves the problem for me too

@guysoft, would be great, shall I create the change and do a pull request?

[guysoft]

@sense-design Sure, I think you can just edit the wiki. But if you only have access to a PR that could work too

@guysoft, wiki change added.
