[Bug 1173020] Re: upgrade from kubuntu 12.10 to 13.04. error with linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic

[Bruce Miller]

apport-collect attempted to open a chromium-browser window. Nothing
happened.

Attempting to open chromium-browser manually generated the following
message:

ruce at Pericles:~$ chromium-browser &
[1] 4649
bruce at Pericles:~$ [4649:4649:0429/130426:ERROR:process_singleton_linux.cc(907)] Failed to create socket directory.
[4649:4649:0429/130426:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1066)] 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.
