Try opening a terminal and entering
Code:
google-chrome | tee ~/chromelog.txt
and from you home folder, upload the file chromelog.txt.

In your screenshot you are attempting to run chrome as root. Chrome simply doesn't work with root. Try the same with a non-root user.

I hope you are not running your desktop as root...

You can try this

Code:
google-chrome --password-store=detect --user-data-dir=/root/chrome-profile/
