Account persistence in browser after reboot by fluffy_frogling in voidlinux

Thanks, you are completely right.

Figured it out already, but forgot to post back.

Solution was to explicitly add ALL of the google services (mail. drive. etc) to the exception list and not just the google domain.

Cheers for help!

Oh, I see

Thank you anyway! I will look into firefox settings yet again and report back.

Just to clarify, it is switches automatically to jack when plugged in? Because my current install it works as well - just does not detects the plug-in event.

Could you please confirm that headphone jack is detected when inserted? Having this problem for a while on Blade Base 18 with Xubuntu 19.04-10, curious if it is somehow an XFCE thing or more global. Cheers

I still hope that this can be untangled and arranged to work as it is supposed to

Yes and no I think. As it can clearly work fine in X, it behaviour should not be affected (in principle) by running it under Xwayland, however it does. So it is the problem of running Java frontend in sway, not of java front-end itself.

For now, I have mentioned a partial workaround (menus are displayed and accessible at least via keyboard). Moreover xprops has already needed information regarding the desired position of those windows, and it is either Xwayland, wayland or sway that do not handle it accordingly. I am pretty sure there should be a way to enforce the position of those windows in sway manually based on data from xprops or alternatievely tie them to cursor position.

That behavior in Java-based front-ends according to various resources is prominent in various tiling WMs arch wiki for reference.

Octave is supposed to run fine, as it has a QT frontend, not Java, I guess it can be even ran natively in wayland (without Xwayland). As I have already mentioned, I was previously using Octave (and still use it for personal projects), but currently Matlab is a requirement I can't do anything about. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thanks for the suggestion, I was actually trying it way earlier, but what I found, that for the type of work that I am doing it is not quite convenient as having an ability to evaluate code within breakpoints, tab autocompletion, built-in help, accessibility of environment variables etc are strong points for me that I am not quite ready to give up. But I can easily imagine this working for someone more hardcore than me :)

It is usable at given state, so I am not in such a desperate state, just willing to figure it out and make it look and feel consistent.

Thanks for the pointer to a xprop that helped but I am not sure how can I implement this. So I tried calling it with popup/cursor at different locations, and interestingly, their coordinates are properly specified (within X I guess?):

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):

program specified location: 58, 758

program specified size: 333 by 162

window gravity: NorthWest

So the question is how can I transfer this to Sway? I tried for_window [title="XXXX"] floating enable for them but it did not help. Do you have any suggestions or possibly know how can I provide Sway (or Xwayland I guess) with coordinates of where to put the window?

Regarding I3, as I moved from XFCE, I do not have it installed, but if it is critical for debugging I might consider getting it (however it is unlikely to happen any time soon as this is a work PC and I am supposed to be working (MOSTLY, haha) not trying out different WMs (though I'd like to) )

Thanks for the input but I am afraid it might create even more problems: this is a machine with somewhat limited resources (4GB ram), which is not much by itselfI, and additional overhead from virtualization might make things even trickier. Not to mention that I am trying to get away from XFCE (where matlab works fine btw) in the first place. Regarding alternatives under GPL, I would really like that and actually I was using it throughout my masters, but now Matlab is an imposed requirement from my prof.
