Google Chrome as Local App?

[Nick Fenger]

Hello,

The script below seems to work for users who already have a chrome profile,
however, if there is no profile I get:

nick at ltsp87:/tmp$ run-chrome
mv: cannot stat `/home/nick/.config/chromium': No such file or directory
[3231:3231:958859199:FATAL:chrome/browser/browser_main.cc(592)] Check
failed: profile. Cannot get default profile.
/usr/bin/run-chrome: line 7:  3231 Aborted                 chromium-browser
--no-first-run %U

I get the same error  when running without --no-first-run

Ideas?

Here's the current script (run-chrome.sh):

#!/bin/bash
mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium.orig
mkdir /tmp/.config-chromium
ln -sf /tmp/.config-chromium ~/.config/chromium
ln -sf ~/.config/chromium.orig/Default /tmp/.config-chromium/Default
chromium-browser --no-first-run


Thanks,

-Nick
