[SOLVED] Chromium window body is transparent for new user

Hi,

I created a new user. But when the new user logins and open applications like chromium (or google-chrome-stable, atom-editor), it opens in a transparent body window. I tried on both XFCE and Lxqt, but it gives the same issue.

Everything works as normal for the old users.

Thanks.

It's the first time login using all default settings/themes.

Have you tried changing it, or actually setting one?

I get a transparent window and not even the menu is visible. I can't even close the window and need to kill process to close it.

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium window body is transparent for new user

No, you didn't move it.  You just cross posted with a massively oversized image (as opposed to the one here that was only somewhat oversized) ignoring the input you've received here.

If you want a thread moved, notify a moderator/admin.  I see no reason to move this thread though.

Please have a look at our code of conduct.  While I see no purposeful intent to do so, in very few posts of these forums you have violated quite many of our guidelines.  You will receive a much better reception if you make an effort to follow the guidelines.

Note that your thread title is misleading - this doesn't seem to have anything to do with chromium, it looks like all windows, right?  Or are there some windows that don't show this problem?  Are the ones that work/fail using the same toolkit?  What is your graphics hardware?  What drivers are you using?  This looks to me like a compositing issue.

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium window body is transparent for new user

In the screenshot, I have shown all the softwares which causes the problem. Other softwares works as expected.  I mentioned chromium specifically because Google Chrome and Atom editor were installed from AUR. I guess all these softwares use the same toolkit.

The following are the graphics hardware details:

Ah, sorry, atom is a chrome app, I thought it was just a text editor - so this is actually a chrome issue.

Solved.

It's now working after uninstallaing with

sudo pacman -Rsn chromium

and installing with

sudo pacman -S chromium

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium window body is transparent for new user

Even though chromium was working, I sill had problems with atom-editor and google-chrome.

I was using a laptop connected to a LED monitor. The laptop lid is closed, so I only use the LED monitor. But in the XFCE display setting the laptop screen was still active.

I deactivated the laptop display and only enable the external monitor and made it primary. Now all the programs are working.
