AG: Is that "bottom v top" posting really a thing? I didn't know that . . . well anyway, I'm sure your process was done properly, I was just joshing you about being "wrong" . . . because it would be so unlikely, etc. I'm sure you noticed that I logged in and out of the three DE options and found "chromium" in the menu . . . we can only "hope and pray" that yours shows up? Only other top posted offering, I mentioned synaptic because I think there are a few different versions of "chrome" out there, and it might have been that synaptic showed "chromium-browser" as the package in the repos?? but I believe that whatever it was I picked that . . . whereas I think in my other distros I might have used "apt install chromium" . . . ??? But, again, I had not previously logged into the LXDE session before your post, so it was pre-loaded or pre-preferred . . . and chromium was there in the menu . . . . Trying to provide relevant data . . . I think I was running 20.04 since it was alpha . . . really not too many issues, it's a fine release.

When I upgraded to Lubuntu 20.04 (in a terminal session, using "sudo do-release-upgrade -d"), things seemed to be working well, and I was able to install my Eclipse Java development environment, and things were working well. My Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade (which I was thinking of switching to), didn't end up with a working Eclipse development environment. Using the LXDE desktop on Lubuntu 20.04, I was able to even use my strange color scheme, which I like a lot, and things were working in Eclipse. So I restored my production files from 16.04 to the 20.04 system, and started working with that. That process proceeded without many problems, so I 'transferred my flag' to the new system. I'm just now cleaning up the last few 'rough edges'. The thing I like most about the new system, is that Rosegarden now loads channel recording filters (which it didn't on 16.04, and LibreOffice Writer, once again allows you to produce HTML files where graphics images are linked-to in the HTML file, rather than forcing you to embed them as data within the HTML file.

That system was upgraded (and tested) through 19.04, 19.10 (which I set up to use the LXDE desktop), and finally to 20.04, recently. The release notes say you can't upgrade from 18.04 to any of the later levels. I took that test system, installed a lot of applications (including the Eclipse Java development environment, which is a snap-package), with the idea of evaluating it as a production system. I then restored all my home directory files, using the Backups application (deja-dup) from a backup taken on my Lubuntu 16.04 system. I installed a number of other applications I realized I needed (including Chromium), and started using the new system. I tried out both the LXDE desktop, and the LXQT desktop. Surprisingly, there were few problems. Chromium not appearing in the menu being one of them. I have gone nearly a week with the new system now, and am able to do all the things I normally do. -- Sincerely, Aere -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

There were some 'rough edges', but I was able to get around them. I am using the LXDE desktop with it, for familiarity and customization reasons. If I could customize the look-and-feel of the LXQT desktop more, I might start using that. But a big thing I notice, is that I have installed software from the Ubuntu repository (Chromium, for example), yet it doesn't appear anywhere in the application menu/launcher - not even in the Debian area. What do I need to do to make the software I've installed, appear in the menu? It is possible I installed the software when I was experimenting with the LXQT desktop. I tried re-installing while in the LXDE desktop, but it still doesn't appear in the menu anywhere. Hi Aere, Long time no see :-) How do you install your program packages? Is Chromium installed as a snap? And what about the other programs? When I install mkusb, its desktop files in /usr/share/applications will be recognized and added to the menu automatically. Best regards Nio Chromium Web Browser is in /usr/share/applications, yet it doesn't appear in the menu anywhere. I can run it using menu...Run...chromium - Aere Check if the ownership and permissions of the desktop file are the same as for the other desktop files that work. What is the content of the the Exec line in the desktop file? Does it match what you use manually? Best regards Nio By the way, chromium does appear in the menu, when using the Lubuntu (LXQT) desktop. It just doesn't appear in the menu on the LXDE desktop. I tried the following in the LXDE desktop. I checked the ownership and permissions of chromium-browser in /usr/bin, and they are the same as things I can execute from the menu. I purged (completely removed) chromium using the muon package manager, and removed chromium using Discover (which uses snap packages). Then I installed it using Discover. Chromium did not appear in the menu. I installed chromium using Synaptic Package Manager. It still didn't appear in the LXDE menu. I was able to create a link to chromium-browser (in /usr/bin) in the Desktop folder, so now I at least have a non-typing way of running chromium on the LXDE desktop. -- Sincerely, Aere -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

I don't know how to fix it, but a likely cause is that between 18.04 and 20.04, Ubuntu started providing Chromium via a snap package rather than a traditional .deb package.
