I'm not sure why but chromium does no longer want to start for me.
When I type it in the terminal I get this error message
[1856:1856:142255483:ERROR:process_singleton_linux.cc(940)] Failed to create socket directory.
[1856:1856:142255592:ERROR:chrome_browser_main.cc(1507)] Failed to create a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. 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.
According to sources online the problem is caused becaused the /tmp directory is fulll.
When I run df -h my results are
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
run 10M 260K 9.8M 3% /run
/dev/disk/by-uuid/cdee53e2-d656-4ea7-8a89-aa151cb5180b 7.3G 7.0G 0 100% /
shm 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1 123G 188M 116G 1% /media
/dev/sda1 99M 17M 78M 18% /boot
/dev/sda4 451G 134G 295G 32% /home
Now I dont know if it has to do with the
/dev/disk/by-uuid/cdee53e2-d656-4ea7-8a89-aa151cb5180b
And when I go to my root directory and type in ls the /tmp directory is highlighted in green.
In my tmp there is nothing there except an empty cron folder.
Before hand I was trying to get CUPS working.
And had disabled usblp.
But I took I no longer blacklisted it, and removed CUPS from my DAEMON.
When I rebooted I noticed usblp did not load on startup.
So i modprobe usblp, but I still get same problem.
Could that be my problem?
How to I get it to load usblp from start up?

You have bigger problems than chromium not starting. Your / is full. Clear up space or you'll see other things fail too.

Sorry but what should I be cleaning up to fix the issue.
Isn't the root directory very important?
I do not save any files (pictures videos etc.) in my root directory...

Find out what is taking up the space. No, you can't just delete everything :-)
Maybe you have just too many packages installed and you should be using a bigger / partition.

Yes it is important which is why having it filled to 100% is not very good. I'd start by cleaning the pacman cache (pacman has an option to do this for you) and checking for oversized log files (in /var/log).

Ok yes thanks for the help.
Never experienced a full root folder before.
My pacman cache was up to 2.7G.
Thanks

You still might want to resize your / . You have a big /home and e.g. 20 GB / might better suit your needs.
