Comment #5 on issue 27344 by freemanrich: opening new URL into current session under Unix doesn't honor remote $DISPLAY (instead is always on same machine) http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=27344
I'm also running into this problem. I think there is confusion over what exactly the problem is. Suppose I have two X11 servers a:0 and b:0. I should be able to execute from a shell: export DISPLAY=a:0 chromium & export DISPLAY=b:0 chromium & That should yield a chromium window on each of those displays. They could use a common processes, or they could run independently and just use locking to share the profile. The suggested workaround of having multiple profiles isn't really helpful - that means that I end up with two different sets of bookmarks/etc. I'd really like to be able to have two different chromium instances share the same profile. I almost thought that this used to work fine a month or two ago. It is the whole reason I switched over from firefox, as firefox also doesn't support having two sessions open on different displays using the same profile. konqueror works fine this way, although you do get some issues if you try to modify bookmarks/etc as one session can overwrite the settings from the other. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
