I was seeing issues like that on centos-7 with a couple of the
recent releases of chrome. What I found was that chrome didn't seem
to be shutting down fully -- leaving a process and the
".com.google.Chrome..." lock file in /tmp. After cleaning those up
chrome would restart without issue. The release that you're running,
which came out a few days ago, seems to have cleared things up for
me.
