[chromium-dev] Still getting Google API keys are missing in Chromium

Version 70.0.3534.4 (Developer Build) Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit)


Hi,
I'm using the developer build of Chromium for hardware-accelerated playback
of Youtube videos on this low powered notebook. Everything is working well
except for Chrome Sync. I followed all the directions from
https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys and modified the
.profile file. I tried this with quotes after the equals signs and it still
doesn't work. Not sure if I have to modify the $PATH. Please help.

Thanks

# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin directories
# PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
