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.

  • Please [edit] your question to also include the output of the following command: ls -al ~. –  Nov 30 '15 at 20:28

I think that you messed around with sudo where you should not have done and therefore the owner of some folders in your home directory are wrong.

If my guess is correct, simply executing the command 

sudo chown -R $USER: ~

from a terminal (open one with Ctrl+Alt+T) on your own account should fix it.

Otherwise please edit your question and add the output of the terminal command

ls -la ~/.config/google-chrome
