Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? It keeps saying "chromium isn't your default browser", each time I starts it up, though I have set it to default more than once. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? 1. I tried the command "update-alternatives", and had already set chromium to be my default browser: qxu@debian:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [sudo] password for qxu: There are 2 choices for the alternative x-www-browser (providing /usr/bin/x-www-browser). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /usr/bin/firefox-esr 70 auto mode * 1 /usr/bin/chromium 40 manual mode 2 /usr/bin/firefox-esr 70 manual mode Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: qxu@debian:~$ 2. I tried "System Settings" -> "Preferred Applications", and set the default web browser to chromium over there. * What was the outcome of this action? When I restarted chromium again, it still told me that chromium is not my default browser, and if I want to set it to the default browser. I clicked the button to make it the default browser, but it kept saying it is not my default browser the next time it is started. * What outcome did you expect instead? By right, any one of the methods (update-alternatives, System Setting -> Preferred Applications, or the prompt in the chromium itself) should have worked. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages chromium depends on: ii libasound2 1.0.28-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.14.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u7 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1+deb8u2 ii libcups2 1.7.5-11+deb8u1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.22-0+deb8u1 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-6+deb8u3 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3+deb8u1 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-3+deb8u1 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+deb8u5 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1+b1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.25-3+deb8u1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.3.1-12 ii libnspr4 2:4.12-1+debu8u1 ii libnss3 2:3.26-1+debu8u1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpng12-0 1.2.50-2+deb8u3 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii libwebp5 0.4.1-1.2+b2 ii libwebpdemux1 0.4.1-1.2+b2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 ii libx11-xcb1 2:1.6.2-3 ii libxcb1 1.10-3+b1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1+b1 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.1-2+b2 ii libxi6 2:1.7.4-1+b2 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-5+deb8u4 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1+b1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.8-1+b1 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.28-2+deb8u2 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii x11-utils 7.7+2 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.4 chromium recommends no packages.
