How do I run Google Chrome as root? [closed]

问题:

I have installed Google Chrome in Ubuntu 10.10. When I try to use in normal user, it is working fine.

Now if I want to use as a root it gives the following error:

Google Chrome does not run as root

Also when I tried the following command in terminal, it opens Google Chrome:

google-chrome --user-data-dir

I need a permanent solution for this. Can anybody give me idea about this?

回答1:

Run from terminal

# google-chrome --no-sandbox --user-data-dir

or

Open the file opt/google/chrome/google-chrome and replace

exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"

to

exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir --no-sandbox

It's working for chrome version 49 in CentOS 6. Chrome will give warning also.

回答2:

First solution:
1. switch off Xorg access control: xhost +
2. Now start google chrome as normal user "anonymous" :
sudo -i -u anonymous /opt/google/chrome/chrome
3. When done browsing, re-enable Xorg access control:
xhost -

Second solution:
1. Edit the file /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome
2. find exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"
or exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$PROFILE_DIRECTORY_FLAG" \ "$@"
3. change as
exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir ”/root/.config/google-chrome”

Third solution:
Run Google Chrome Browser as Root on Ubuntu Linux systems

回答3:

1. Go to /opt/google/chrome.

2. Open google-chrome.

3. Append current home for data directory. Replace this:

exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"

With this:

exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir $HOME

回答4:

i followed these steps

Step 1. Open /etc/chromium/default file with editor
Step 2. Replace or add this line 
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--password-store=detect --user-data-dir=/root/chrome-profile/"
Step 3. Save it..

Thats it.... Start the browser...

回答5:

Just replace following line

exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"

with

exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir 

all things will be right.

回答6:

STEP 1： cd /opt/google/chrome

STEP 2: edit google-chrome file. gedit google-chrome

STEP 3： find this line: exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@".

Mostly this line is in the end of google-chrome file.

Comment it out like this : #exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@"

STEP 4：add a new line at the same place.

exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --user-data-dir

STEP 5: save google-chrome file and quit. And then you can use chrome as root user. Enjoy it!

回答7:

Chrome can run as root (remember to use gksu when doing so) so long as you provide it with a profile directory.

Rather than type in the profile directory every time you want to run it, create a new bash file (I'd name it something like start-chrome.sh)

#/bin/bash
google-chrome --user-data-dir="/root/chrome-profile/"

Rember to call that script with root privelages!

$ gksu /root/start-chrome.sh

回答8:

It no longer suffices to start Chrome with --user-data-dir=/root/.config/google-chrome. It simply prints Aborted and ends (Chrome 48 on Ubuntu 12.04).

You need actually to run it as a non-root user. This you can do with

gksu -wu chrome-user google-chrome

where chrome-user is some user you've decided should be the one to run Chrome. Your Chrome user profile will be found at ~chrome-user/.config/google-chrome.

BTW, the old hack of changing all occurrences of geteuid to getppid in the chrome binary no longer works.

I tried this with Kali linux, Debian, CentOs 7,And Ubuntu

(Permanent Method)

1. Edit the file with any text editor (I used Leafpad) Run this code your terminal leafpad/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

2. (Normally its end line) find exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" or exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$PROFILE_DIRECTORY_FLAG" \ "$@"

3. change as exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" "$@" --no-sandbox --user-data-dir

(Just Simple Method)

Run This command in your terminal

$ google-chrome --no-sandbox --user-data-dir

Or

$ google-chrome-stable --no-sandbox --user-data-dir
