I've had an issue where Chrome will bounce a few times and then stop. Never opening. This is with Google packaged pkg. Has anyone seen this?

If delete that folder?
~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome


I am seeing the same thing. I was able to run a chmod -R 775 ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome and then Chrome would open. I need to find a way to script this change so I can change the permissions on the users folder. Does anyone have a script for that that they would share?


So I looked at some scripts I had used in the past and put together the script below to change the permissions on the '~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome". I have tested it only on a Catalina Machine with Google Chrome as a policy and it worked for me to change the permissions.



!/bin/bash



consoleuser=$(ls -l /dev/console | awk '{ print $3 }')



echo "logged in user is" $consoleuser



folders=(
"/Users/$consoleuser/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome"



)



search="*"



for i in "${folders[@]}"
do
echo "change folder ${i}"
chmod -R 775 "${i}"
done



if [ $? == 0 ]; then
echo "Success"
else
echo "Failure"
fi
