Chromium doesn't open the main window

[Jaka]

When I start chromium i get a popup saying:

"Your preferences can not be read.

Some features may be unavailable and changes to preferences won't be saved."

I click OK, but nothing happenes than. The window does not open.

If this is of any help I'm adding the output from the terminal:

user@Lap:~$ chromium-browser
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.

Jaka,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue? Can this bug report now be closed?

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Hi, please close it. This was years ago and I don't even remember reporting
it.

Regards, Jaka

Thanks Jaka. Closing by marking "Invalid" as issue was never confirmed.
