I use RPI 3 model B and I reinstall Raspberry Pi OS for some reason. I could log in to Google and it kept logged in whenever I close and open Chromium, but it was before I reinstall raspios. However, now, after doing a fresh install (Release date: May 7th 2021), after logging in to Google account, and then closing Chromium, and then open it again, there's a message "Chromium didn't shut down correctly" and the Google account is logged out, I need to log in every time launching Chromium. Please help me to solve the issue.

What I've tried:

  1. Searching for the solution on the internet: no solution found, almost all problems related to kiosk mode but I don't use kiosk mode
  2. Deleting chromium config to get all the default and fresh configs
  3. Testing login in another site: my login to this site persists, seems happens only to Google (including Youtube)
  4. Using Firefox: it works, the login persists, but unfortunately there's another issue: some Youtube videos' sound doesn't work
  5. Making sure that the system is up to date (apt update && apt upgrade)

UPDATE

  1. Reinstalling chromium-browser
  2. Disabling the 2 default extensions

Output of stdout/stderr:

  • I've just tried to apt reinstall chromium-browser and it's still not solved. Did you mean what it writes to stdout while quitting chromium? It is event_router.cc(714)] Event dispatched while shutting down extensions browser client.

  • not just std out but log files that can give a hint.

Finally I can solve it, seems the problem is with Chromium sign-in or Google authentication itself. After disabling Chromium sign-in, the session/login persists after closing and then reopening Chromium.

  1. In Chromium, open Settings.
  2. Click Sync and Google services.
  3. Uncheck Allow Chromium sign-in.
  4. Log in to Google like usual.
