Sync stopping every time I switch Desktop Environment (EndeavourOS)
-
Hello everyone!
I am currently using Vivaldi on EndeavourOS (I have use Vivaldi in many other distributions before), and I have some DEs installed (KDE, Budgie and Cinnamon).
Today, I logged out from KDE and went to Budgie. Everything was normal, until I opened Vivaldi. Looks like sync had stopped working and logged me out from my account. The bigger problem was that all my sync data was deleted and I was logged off from every website, with the only exception being WhatsappWeb. It's not the first time it happens, and it is a very serious issue, especially if I didn't have a Password Manager.
If you need any more info, please tell me.Thank you!

@xico26 I think that is because the keyring who contains the encryption hash key for Vivaldi login database changes with the DE.
Switching keyrings never worked in the past with DEs. -
@doctorg Thank you for your answer. So technically the only solution is to don't switch DEs?

Any idea why it removes all my sync data from the servers themselves and logs me off from everything? I wouldn't mind having to enter the sync password every time I switch DE if it kept my data and logged me off.
