How can I disable the "Chromium didn’t shut down correctly" message when my browser opens?
Much easier solution, start Chromium with the --disable-infobars flag. I tried all of the above before finding it, and it does exactly what I wanted. You can leave all of the other stuff alone.
My specific command line is:
/usr/bin/chromium-browser --start-fullscreen --disable-session-crashed-bubble --disable-infobars http://www.example.com
Also, apparently running in incognito mode by default will also prevent the error because nothing is saved from the session against which to check for a crash.
example: chromium-browser --kiosk --start-maximized --incognito kiosk.html
This finally worked for me, and it's pretty simple:
- Shut down Chromium gracefully
- Change the "Change content" permissions of ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences to "Nobody"
That will lock the state of two variables, regardless of how Chromium was shut down:
- "exit_type": "Normal"
- "exited_cleanly": true
Of course, only do that after you're done setting preferences
