[Solved] Chromium won't start

I can't figure out why. It just hangs. If anyone else has experienced this let me know. I'm not sure what info. I need to provide so just ask I'll post it.

Re: [Solved] Chromium won't start

Any output when starting it from a terminal emulator?

Nope. It just hangs there. I'm using BSPWM if this helps. I've not installed much after installing arch.

Edit: actually it does start but on a different desktop, if I'm on desktop 1 it'll start on like desktop 3 or 4... why is that?

Seriously? You run it from a terminal and nothing happens?

(edit) ah, on a different desktop; this is an entirely different issue

look at your bspwm config files

Dang, that was a pretty easy fix. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was wrong until I fumbled around with bspwm hotkeys. Thanks for the help! I updated the thread title.

Re: [Solved] Chromium won't start

this is why some of us are not enamored with bspwm; but happy you got it fixed
