Yes, from what I read in your links, it's supposedly a problem in Chrome/Chromium indeed. (and the Chromium bug report you posted is still open...)
A suggestion is that it crashes on logout, do you experience that? If you have the package "systemd-coredump" installed, that should be listed by running "coredumpctl", I suppose.
Yes but you don't really see it. I don't think it throws an exception or anything. It handles the kill SIG, but it just doesn't like it. I think Chromium is either slow about closing, or just ignores the request. It is always the last window hanging around on logout. The taskbar and desktop is already closed, and you see the Chromium window sitting there for a moment. Then I guess KDE decides to kill it. Logout finishes. And Chromium now thinks that it has crashed, and it marks a file to know that it has crashed. Next login, start Chromium and you get the "Restore Pages?" prompt. One workaround I've read is to write a launch script to "unmark the crash". Kind of a hack, who knows if that will survive future updates. I've tried a plasma shutdown script to close it cleanly, but it's not fast enough or happens too late..? :/ I have reasons for not using Firefox, so i'm kinda stuck with Chromium. One could just close chromium before logging out, but I've developed a reflex for clicking the "Restore" prompt.
Not much we can do here from the KDE (or even openSUSE) side then, I'm afraid.
I may try to install chromium and have a look, but I don't want to promise it TBH. (and actually I don't really want to hunt down and fix bugs in Chromium anyway... :-/ )
I can understand that.
Just out of curiosity: does it help if you switch Plasma to "Restore manually saved session" (in systemsettings5->"Startup and Shutdown"->"Desktop Session") and do save the session manually (in the application launcher)?
I will try it. thanks, johnm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
