The culprit is “Web Data” which is a sqlite database. Though it looked just fine when I inspected the tables and data stored in it using sqlite3, chrome is having some issue. Deleting it, and let chrome re-create the database solves this problem as well as other issue with downloading files. See this thread if you have any download issues http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10060

Just upgraded google-chrome stable in Ubuntu 9.04 and was plagued with this issue. Your fix worked, thanks!

I am running google-chrome in ubuntu 8.10, the stable version.
I cleared the default directory opened google-chrome and it worked fine. Then I copied Backup into Default as directed, but the error message is displayed again.
I think this procedure may be improved by just deleting the damaged file. Any idea of which file is causing the problem?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, it worked for me!

What CMS are you using for this blog, by the way?

Hi Steve, if you are following the original Linux instructions, you want to enter the commands from a terminal window.

I’m using Linux Mint, so my filesystem is organized a bit differently. My chrome directory exists in: /media/****/Users/Josh/BlackII/LocalSettings/Google/Chrome

Hope that helps!
