Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 Steps to reproduce the problem: I have a VM running centOS 7 as a development machine. I use VNC (tigerVNC) to VNC into the VM. Chromium works perfectly when just opening through the hyper-V console but does not open when connected to VNC. When I click through gnome to open Chromium it appears to open (processing) but then nothing happens further. I doubt this to be a bug with Chromium but really have no way of further troubleshooting why it won't open so would really appreciate some assistance. What is the expected behavior? Chromium should open in VNC What went wrong? It does not open Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 61.0.3163.100 Channel: stable OS Version: centOS 7.4 Flash Version: These are some of the logs in /var/log/messages when I try and open: Feb 21 11:25:28 local dbus[747]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.bluez' unit='dbus-org.bluez.service' Feb 21 11:25:28 local dbus-daemon: dbus[747]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.bluez' unit='dbus-org.bluez.service' Feb 21 11:25:29 local chromium-browser.desktop: Created new window in existing browser session.

The issue seems to be out of TE-scope due to unavailability of centOS 7 as a development machine. Hence, adding label TE-NeedsTriageHelp for further investigation from dev team. Thanks...!!

This is the problem: Feb 21 11:25:29 local chromium-browser.desktop: Created new window in existing browser session. Chrome doesn't support running against multiple DISPLAYs in the same profile. You'll need to either use the --user-data-dir command-line option or (better) set the CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR environment variable, perhaps in your vnc session script if tigerVNC has one. See https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/lkcr/docs/user_data_dir.md#Overriding-the-User-Data-Directory for more details (there's nothing VNC-specific there, but there's some useful information). |
