accidental google-chrome pops by itself in linux
Hello, a new windows of chrome browser suddenly pops on top of all opened programs. This only happens if I have chrome browser opened. I tried to re install but the problem persists. I also checked if the that was because of extensions by removing them. But neither that was true. I run google chrome as root in my linux desktop. How could I track the issue causing this problem?

As root? hmmm.
Anyway, run chrome from a vt, and see if any clues are provided when the new window opens. cheers, |
Why are you running your browser as root?

Running the GUI as root is one of the worst ideas you can have. Instead of using hacks to get Chrome working you should create an unprivileged user for your everyday work, unless you really intend to run a totally insecure system.

Why do you run the GUI as root? There is absolutely no sane reason for that. Run the GUI as unprivileged user, so no dirty hacks are needed and you are magnitudes more secure.
