google-chrome-stable Broken on Debian Wheezy

I have been using Google Chrome on a recent installation of Debian Wheezy, and all of a sudden, it is broken.

When I click the icon to open the application the google ball bounces, and eventually stops, but it never opens.

Running this from the command line:

Code:

google-chrome-stable

I get this error:

Code:

No protocol specified
[20051:20051:0711/090830:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(240)] Gtk: cannot open display: :0

I have no idea why all of a sudden it's broken, but a google search on the problem results in nothing.

OS: Debian Wheezy
Desktop: KDE

Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas how to resolve it?

Thank you,
Darin

 

Did you tried to reinstall the chrome?

 

Yes. Multiple times.

 

Ok then create an alternate profile for chrome, for this goto

Further uninstall chrome & then install the chrome. It will work for you.

It happens when the config file gets corrupted, it could happen due to some irregular/uneven updates of chrome.
