Package: chromium Version: 39.0.2171.71-2 Severity: normal File: /usr/lib/chromium/master_preferences
master_preferences is a configuration file and in wheezy version lived happily under /etc/chromium/ and was useful to e.g. set a system-wide homepage . But in jessie it now will be located under /usr/lib/chromium/master_preferences and I am not sure if even that one anyhow used: $> sudo strace -fF -o /tmp/123 chromium --temp-profile ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment. $> grep master_pref /tmp/123 27697 access("/etc/chromium/master_preferences", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) actually according to the patch $> cat debian/patches/prefs.patch Author: Raymond Wooninck (tittiatcoke) Source: OpenSUSE (chromium-master-prefs-path.patch) --- a/chrome/browser/first_run/first_run_internal_linux.cc 2014-03-14 17:19:57.308905802 +0100 +++ b/chrome/browser/first_run/first_run_internal_linux.cc 2014-03-14 17:19:57.300905802 +0100 @@ -19,9 +19,7 @@ base::FilePath MasterPrefsPath() { // The standard location of the master prefs is next to the chrome binary. - base::FilePath master_prefs; - if (!PathService::Get(base::DIR_EXE, &master_prefs)) - return base::FilePath(); + base::FilePath master_prefs = base::FilePath("/etc/chromium"); return master_prefs.AppendASCII(installer::kDefaultMasterPrefs); } it seems that desired pathname is now /etc/chromium (file, not a directory) which is probably also not a good idea since chromium does look for some additional files under etc/chromium/ (see below) but even if I copy master_preferences to etc/chromium my changes seems to have no effect for tha above --temp-profile run (may be they shouldn't? ) $> grep /etc/chromi /tmp/123 30145 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/chromium.d", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 30147 execve("/usr/bin/expr", ["expr", "/etc/chromium.d/apikeys", ":", ".*.dpkg"], [/* 18 vars */]) = 0 30145 open("/etc/chromium.d/apikeys", O_RDONLY) = 3 30151 stat("/etc/chromium/policies/managed", 0x7fffe7af3348) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) 30151 stat("/etc/chromium/policies/recommended", 0x7fffe7af3348) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) 30151 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/chromium/policies/managed", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) 30151 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/chromium/policies/recommended", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) 30151 access("/etc/chromium/master_preferences", F_OK) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) 30176 inotify_add_watch(21, "/etc/chromium", IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVE|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_ONLYDIR <unfinished ...> 30176 lstat("/etc/chromium", <unfinished ...> 30176 inotify_add_watch(21, "/etc/chromium", IN_ATTRIB|IN_CLOSE_WRITE|IN_MOVE|IN_CREATE|IN_DELETE|IN_ONLYDIR <unfinished ...> 30176 lstat("/etc/chromium", <unfinished ...> 30176 stat("/etc/chromium/policies/managed", <unfinished ...> 30176 stat("/etc/chromium/policies/recommended", <unfinished ...> -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.17-1-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 libc6 2.19-13 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1 ii libcap2 1:2.24-6 ii libcups2 1.7.5-10 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.12-3 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-6+b3 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.31.1-2+b1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.12.0-1+b1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.25-1 ii libharfbuzz0b 0.9.35-2 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.3.1-11 ii libnspr4 2:4.10.7-1 ii libnss3 2:3.17.2-1.1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpci3 1:3.2.1-3 ii libspeechd2 0.8-7 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1.2-1 ii libsrtp0 1.4.5~20130609~dfsg-1.1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.1-19 ii libudev1 215-8 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-3 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+dfsg1-4 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1+b1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.8-1+b1 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.28-2+b2 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+git20111210-7.3 chromium recommends no packages.
