Failed units:

During login, my system will load an old session from several weeks ago, in which I had a couple of file explorers open on my second desktop.

There were also a couple of changes to my Google Chrome installation. The search bar would highlight neon purple when clicked, but this behavior has ceased. I also need to log back into Google Chrome each time I boot the OS.

I have performed many updates using the “garuda-update” routine, but the problem persists.

The opened file explorers were fixed by going to system settings > startup and shutdown > desktop session and switching from “On last logout” to “Start with an empty session”.

This makes booting slightly less annoying, but because of the close temporal association of the persistent file explorer window with the Google Chrome misbehavior, I suspect their problem may have a common cause within my system configuration. It’s kinda like my system has no memory of my most recent activities, but files will still save.

I mostly want to be able to operate my browser such that I am logged in when booting. Needing to enter my unnecessarily long email password twice or thrice a day is a nuisance. I’d also like to remain logged in to receive notifications on Slack from my colleagues.

I will give you a work around until this issue is solved

  1. Go to System Settings

  2. add your Google account there

  3. Go to Chrome browser and sign in again

  4. Close the browser window

:triangular_flag_on_post:Important:triangular_flag_on_post:

Go to Chrome settings > Advanced settings > and Uncheck:

“Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed”

I had to go to (three dots on the top right of Chrome) settings > (three lines on the left) System > unchecked “Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed”. KDE saved my information for Google, but after rebooting my device, I had to log in again. The “Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed” bit was checked after rebooting.

Perhaps I should consider this a Google Chrome issue and not a Garuda Linux issue?

Not sure it matters, but it looks like my configuration was set to “Classic” not “GTK”, which is what caused chrome’s appearance to change a little.

Yeah that weird , actually chrome run very well in arch and KDE , And garuda just based on this two so it may be from chrome it self , i will try to do more search maybe i can find a solution to that .

From where have you installed chrome?? Because I am writing this from chrome which was installed via chaotic-aur and it works well.

The ‘swoosh’ indicates you need to reboot. Please do so.

Good question!

That indicates you have it set to restore the last session checked in Settings.
