profile-sync-daemon (psd)


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if having profile-sync-daemon (psd) is causing troubles to you.

 

After installing Armbian, I noticed that whenever I was restarting  Chromium and accessing youtube, the system was asking me a login. The authentication cookies were simply disappearing  after each restart of chromium.

To avoid that I removed a link of my .profile directory pointing to a tmpfs filesystem (you see the tmpfs  file system, use  the df command).

 

I read that it is used to avoid read/write on storage, as all I/O are done in Ram, but obviously in my case it was not really working, as I was loosing my cookies.

 

Does anyone else uses that feature? Is this useful nowadays when using SSD's?

Armbian comes in many different variants. This could be a bug in Debian SID package base or the one you are using. Where do you observe this? (armbianmonitor -u) I am running Armbian desktop (running Chrome / Firefox) on two machines without any issues. PSD is active.

We also have plenty of memory nowadays and memory is still significantly faster then ssds and does not wear out.

sudo apt install --reinstall profile-sync-daemon

 

This is probably all we do here: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/packages/bsp/common/usr/lib/armbian/armbian-firstlogin#L215-L237
