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.
AFAIK, systemd does not (yet) support multi-session correctly - but this is mostly irrelevant, unless you want to use dbus. Anyway, I don't think this is supported at all - what would be the expected behaviour when you run the same browser profile on both tty1 and tty2 ? What would happen when file conflict arises (same profile means both instances use the same directory for data)? -- jlk
