Previously had anki on macbook – whenever I’d go into browse and click a tag, it would automatically show the # of cards at the top of the window. Same when highlighting cards to suspend/unsuspend.
Not happening on my chromebook. I click a tag or highlight cards and nothing shows up at the top of the window or anywhere else. Aside from that, everything seems to be working fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: I’m using the full application, not ankidroid.
Where that shows is up in the “title bar” of the window.
In Linux, some window managers do different things, so that’s where I’d check first. Is the title bar showing at all? Is there a setting in your OS/window manager to make it show? If it’s showing and it’s blank – is that title bar coming from Anki or is your window manager putting its own title bar on there?
You managed to install and run anki on a chromebook?!
And make it sync your cards etc?
That’s like some holy grail.
How on earth did you do that?
Congrats - a first time poster and amazing everybody by casually stating they’re running anki on a chrome book 
I don’t use a chromebook but chromebooks with linux enabled seem to be supported:
Thanks for the reply! Does seem like some weirdness is happening with the title bar… maybe the window manager is putting it’s own title bar like you mentioned?
See below:
I can definitely look into how to adjust title bar settings in Linux/Chromebook (a quick googling and settings search was not fruitful), but if you happen to know any troubleshooting/next steps to take in this situation, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks again!
Thank you! I did follow the guide that Anon_0000 mentioned and after like an hour of googling/tinkering (aka blindly trying things because I know ZERO about terminal commands) it worked – whew… Other than this title bar issue I’m having, it works well thankfully!
Does chromebook use “normal” linux desktop environments like gnome, kde plasma, ect.?
In that case there should be settings (potentially in the settings app) regarding the top bar, maybe it’s theme related as well.
Very unfamiliar territory for me (just looked up gnome and kde plasma), but I think it’s just opening Anki within the chrome desktop environment. I can have Anki in one window and normal chrome browser, YouTube, etc in other windows on the same desktop as usual. Am I understanding correctly / does that answer your question?
OK I think I semi-resolved the issue:
I found a workaround! Just clicking the “show open windows” button works:
It is an ongoing issue that no one at Google has solved in 6 years 
That’s great that you found a way around it – this will be very helpful for other users!
