LXDE Forums

I'm unable to kill PID entries for Google Chrome.

I remote into a LXDE for work. When my session times out the existence of Chrome still runs, but when I log back in, Chrome won't start.

I'll double click on the application and nothing happens, so I run "ps aux|grep chrome" and it comes up with a list of all the instances of Chrome. I then run "killall -9 chrome" to kill all the processes, but when I re-run "ps aux|grep chrome", the instance persist.

How can I terminate all instances of Chrome so it will start working again?

Thanks,

Are you sure the name of the executable in question is 'chrome', and not 'Chrome' or 'ChromeBrowser' or 'Web Application' or...?
what exactly do you get when you issue Please show us.

Have you disabled "Run background services when main app closes" in Chrome's advanced settings?

BTW, Chrome is closed source and not very suitable for any GNU/Linux environment. Have you considered using Chromium instead?
