$ mkdir -p ~/Documents/Backups/config/dconf/user.d
$ dconf dump / > ~/Documents/Backups/config/dconf/user.d/complete.conf
$ cat ~/Documents/Backups/config/dconf/user.d/* | dconf load /

Remove Chromium from Ubuntu Keyring
Remove keyring dependency with the following:
Try taking the passwords off of your keyring. This would work well for a virtual environment.
- Open Applications -> Accessories -> Password and Encryption Keys.
- Click View -> "By keyring"
- Right-click on the "login" keyring.
- Select "Change password"
- Enter your old password and leave the new password blank.
This did not work...
Go to (Unity button)/Passwords and Keys
On tab Passwords choose the proper key (I'd got only one, so you may need to find proper key). Right-click on it and Delete.
Restart Chromium
It'll ask for password --- do not type any and continue.
Choose "Use unsafe storage"
