Bug Description

WORKAROUND:
Google has instructions for recovering passwords here:
http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1230517
According to the upstream bug, you might need to specify --password-store=gnome instead of --password-store=detect if the former doesn't work.

--------------------------------------------------

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

10.0.648.204 (79063) Ubuntu 11.04

This updated version lost all passwords that was saved in earlier versions. New entered passwords only be remembered till the browser was closed once, then they are lost. The password storage is broken completely within this version.

This is a theoretical fix to the deadlock issue which should make it onto the M12 branch (http://codereview.chromium.org/6878038/). It is not entirely tested (and there's currently a weird crash regression in the sync code on trunk right now). I'd like to hammer on it a little bit more before I'd feel comfortable suggestion that it be backported to M11 (where it won't be), but it is being worked on upstream.

The problem has theoretically been fixed on and for the M12 branch.

It has not been fixed for M11 (and won't be) and can't be backported to M10. Attached is a combined fix that I've tested on the M11 branch; it should apply cleanly.

Excellent. Thanks!

Actions for me:
- land the patch in -beta
- grab the detection part of the fix from trunk and land it in -dev

and wait for -stable to reach M11.
