** Description changed: When creating a init file at ~/.chromium-browser.init chromium is supposed to read flags from there. However these do not work correctly. What I expected to happen: Starting chromium with the --force-dark-mode flag in the init file should make it use a dark UI (as long as the GTK theme option in the settings is not used) What happened instead: Starting chromium with above configuration correctly echoes CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--force-dark-mode" to the terminal and it also appears under chrome://version but a normal non-dark UI is used. What does work: Starting chromium with the above flag as an argument from the terminal makes it use a dark UI (apparently not for everyone https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1851896/comments/5) What also does not work: This may affect all flags - so far I have tested the above and "--enable-features=WebUIDarkMode" Version: chromium version: 78.0.3904.97 rev: 937 tracking: stable + --- + ProblemType: Bug + ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.2 + Architecture: amd64 + CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME + DRM.card0-DP-1: + enabled: disabled + dpms: Off + status: disconnected + edid-base64: + modes: + DRM.card0-DP-2: + enabled: disabled + dpms: Off + status: disconnected + edid-base64: + modes: + DRM.card0-HDMI-A-1: + enabled: disabled + dpms: Off + status: disconnected + edid-base64: + modes: + DRM.card0-HDMI-A-2: + enabled: disabled + dpms: Off + status: disconnected + edid-base64: + modes: + DRM.card0-eDP-1: + enabled: enabled + dpms: On + status: connected + edid-base64: AP///////wAw5DgFAAAAAAAaAQSVIhN46qHFlFlXjycgUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBLjaAoHA4H0AwIDUAWMIQAAAatiyA9HA4FkAwIDUAWMIQAAAaAAAA/gBMRyBEaXNwbGF5CiAgAAAA/gBMUDE1NldGNi1TUEs0AJw= + modes: 1920x1080 1920x1080 + DiskUsage: + Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on + /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ext4 233G 188G 34G 85% / + tmpfs tmpfs 3,9G 99M 3,8G 3% /dev/shm + /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ext4 233G 188G 34G 85% / + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 + InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-04-30 (204 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" - Alpha amd64 (20190326.2) + Lsusb: + Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub + Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0011 Validity Sensors, Inc.
