title: Chromium ProcessSingleton
body: <p>I just got a question recently about how to run chrome or chromium on our school machine (Ubuntu 16.04).</p>
  
  <p>The machine is configured to mount user home folder via samba server with 700 permission. (I think it causes the problem of executing chrome)</p>
  
  <p>When I execute the chromium-browser from terminal</p>
  
  <p><code>
  chromium-browser 
  [26686:26686:1023/143803.603878:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(278)] Failed to create /home/NETID/kharam/.config/chromium/SingletonLock: Operation not supported (95)
  [26686:26686:1023/143803.603961:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1639)] 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.
  </code></p>
  
  <p>I've tried to run chromium on the local account, and it ran.</p>
  
  <p>Is there possible solution??????????</p>
  
  <p>Thank you</p>
