I'm new to the world of Raspberry 2 and Linux and I have install Chromium on the Raspberry. I did this because I thought it would be a good way to access my Google Chrome Bookmarks (Favourites). However, I'm having problems. When I log into Chromium in order to sync, I get the message:

The sync server is busy, please try again later.

I've tried a few hours later, next day, etc. I suspect the sync server being busy is not the problem.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem and help me sync my bookmarks?

The version of Chromium is:22.0.1229.94. I vaguely understand it's possible to get a later version. I'm new to Linux and would have to be told the explicit steps to do so. The Linux I'm running came with the Raspberry 2 and is some flavor of Debian (I'd report the version number if I knew where to look!).

Finally, I'm not wedded to Chromium. I just want a browser where I can see my Chrome bookmarks and (ideally) have them synced every time I add a bookmark to Chrome or the browser on Raspberry.

  • I'm the one who wrote this question and originally posted it on the Raspberry Pi group. It was migrated here by an administrator. I should mention that the internet is working. I'm able to get to drive.google and login, get to gmail, etc. So I guess the fact it was migrated means it is not Raspberry specific? It would be interesting to know if it is Debian specific. – Dave Jun 03 '15 at 15:00
  • It won't be Rpi specific *unless* it has to do with a bug in the ARM port. It probably isn't really Debian specific either, except to the extent that it may be triggered by their configuration, etc. I.e., **it's chromium specific,** so you have to figure out why it would say this then go from there. Which might make it better on [Super User](http://superuser.com/), but beware U&L has a no cross-posting rule (if you don't get an answer here eventually, just delete or ask to close it and try S.U.). – goldilocks Jun 03 '15 at 15:24

I solved it in the following manner. -Go to settings -> advanced settings. -Click on "add Printer". After that you will have to sign in by a different page -insert email and click next. -insert password and click next. after that chromium should be synchronizzable. You should select the "stay synced" checkbox to be quite for the future.
