Verify there is no running instance of Chromium in any other session, as it spawns children withing its original session. I have seen this happen with X2go as well. Jason Plum WarheadsSE On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 1:18 PM, arnaud gaboury <arnaud.gaboury@gmail.com>wrote:
Dear list,
I decided to get rid of my mate DE and go i3. Before I am testing my settings on tty2 (Ctrl+Alt+F2) with a modify .xinitrc (exec i3).
I have a weird behavior as regarding my web browser, could it be chromium or firefox.
On my i3 config. I have this line:
assign [instance="^chromium$"] → 1
Unfortunately, when I log in on tty2, there is no chromium being started. When I am back on tty1 (mate session), I find chromium being opened. Then, on tty2, if I start manually firefox, I can't as I am told "firefox is already running". Indeed it is but on tty1.
It seems like web browsers are "attached" to my tty1.
Is there any reason for this behavior? Shall I modify anything to start any web browser on tty2 ?
Thank you for help.
