As of today's Lubuntu 19.04 with lxqt-session 0.14.1, I can confirm this is now fixed in that it is possible to set other values for the default browser.
That said, not all browsers show up in the list when installed. falkon, chromium-browser, and dillo do not show up. They can be added with the search option, though. The problem with this, though, is that it's setting the BROWSER environment variable and it doesn't change the file associations. Furthermore, the BROWSER variable can create problems changing default browsers (see https://launchpad.net/bugs/1823917). Using `xdg-settings set default-www-browser chromium-browser.desktop` (or whatever the desktop filename is) does seem to change file associations, url scheme handlers, etc. This is the most robust way to change default browsers, especially for browsers like falkon and dillo which don't have an in-build way to make them default. It's clear given the bug above that's what chromium-browser uses. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795539 Title: only falkon and firefox can be set as default browser To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxqt/+bug/1795539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
