Package: chromium Version: 57.0.2987.98-1 Severity: minor Hi,
I'm using chromium in a live system deployed in a lab room. Since the
last upgrade, chrome always displays the "chrome://welcome" page on
first run (which asks the students to sign in with their google
account).
I want to keep the previous behavior, i.e. show the start page of our
lab when they start the computers. I have the following policy
settings:
$ cat /etc/chromium/policies/managed/ilab.json
{
"PasswordManagerEnabled": false,
"DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled": false,
}
$ cat /etc/chromium/policies/recommended/ilab.json
{
"ShowHomeButton": false,
"BookmarkBarEnabled": false,
"RestoreOnStartup": 4,
"RestoreOnStartupURLs": ["https://OUR-LAB-STARTPAGE/";,
"https://startpage.com/";],
"DefaultSearchProviderName": "Startpage",
"DefaultSearchProviderKeyword": "startpage.com",
"DefaultSearchProviderSearchURL":
"https://startpage.com/do/search?q={searchTerms}";
}
The only way I have found to disable this behavior is to add the
following to /usr/share/chromium/master_preferences:
"sync_promo": {
"show_on_first_run_allowed": false
}
It would be nice if you could either disable this sync promotion by
default or provide a way to disable it (without requiring dpkg-divert).
Thank you
