** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Minor. Apparently under certain circumstances "xdg-settings get default-web-browser" can return an empty string (although I haven't been able to reproduce this myself), and this will make the /usr/bin/chromium-browser wrapper script spit out a console error (but it won't prevent it from running the browser). + This is trivial to fix by enclosing the call to "xdg-settings get default-web-browser" in double quotes, to cater for the empty result case (see https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~chromium-team/chromium-browser/eoan-stable/revision/1526). + + + [Test Case] + + 1. Install chromium-browser + 2. Patch /usr/bin/xdg-settings to make the get_browser_gnome3() function return an empty string (replace its body with 'echo ""') + 3. From a terminal, run "chromium-browser" + + Expected result: no error + Current result: /usr/bin/chromium-browser: 12: [: =: unexpected operator + + + [Regression Potential] + + Low, enclosing a call to a command in double quotes in bash shouldn't + have any undesirable side effect, and that's all that the patch does. + + + [Original Description] + Hi, here is the error: - $ chromium-browser + $ chromium-browser /usr/bin/chromium-browser: 12: [: =: unexpected operator [...] Here is line 12 in /usr/bin/chromium-browser: if [ $(xdg-settings get default-web-browser) = "chromium- browser.desktop" ]; then The error occurs because on my system the default-web-browser setting is unset: $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser [nothing] I suggest putting double quotes around: if [ "$(xdg-settings get default-web-browser)" = "chromium- browser.desktop" ]; then ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 Package: chromium-browser 77.0.3865.120-0ubuntu1.19.10.1 Uname: Linux 5.3.12-050312-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE DRM.card0-DP-1: - enabled: disabled - dpms: Off - status: disconnected - edid-base64: - modes: + enabled: disabled + dpms: Off + status: disconnected + edid-base64: + modes: DRM.card0-HDMI-A-1: - enabled: disabled - dpms: Off - status: disconnected - edid-base64: - modes: + enabled: disabled + dpms: Off + status: disconnected + edid-base64: + modes: DRM.card0-HDMI-A-2: - enabled: disabled - dpms: Off - status: disconnected - edid-base64: - modes: + enabled: disabled + dpms: Off + status: disconnected + edid-base64: + modes: DRM.card0-eDP-1: - enabled: enabled - dpms: On - status: connected - edid-base64: AP///////wAJ5csGAAAAAAEaAQSVIhN4CvmglV1ZlCkkUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBGjuAJHE4PEAwIDYAWMIQAAAa/S2ADnE4KEAwIDYAWMIQAAAaAAAA/gBSTUpDWYBOVjE1TjQyAAAAAAAAQSKWABAAAAoBCiAgAMg= - modes: 1920x1080 1920x1080 + enabled: enabled + dpms: On + status: connected + edid-base64: AP///////wAJ5csGAAAAAAEaAQSVIhN4CvmglV1ZlCkkUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBGjuAJHE4PEAwIDYAWMIQAAAa/S2ADnE4KEAwIDYAWMIQAAAaAAAA/gBSTUpDWYBOVjE1TjQyAAAAAAAAQSKWABAAAAoBCiAgAMg= + modes: 1920x1080 1920x1080 Date: Fri Nov 22 10:27:14 2019 DiskUsage: - Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on - /dev/mapper/MonVolume2-UbuntuRacine ext4 492G 235G 232G 51% / - tmpfs tmpfs 7.8G 124M 7.7G 2% /dev/shm - /dev/mapper/MonVolume2-UbuntuRacine ext4 492G 235G 232G 51% / + Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on + /dev/mapper/MonVolume2-UbuntuRacine ext4 492G 235G 232G 51% / + tmpfs tmpfs 7.8G 124M 7.7G 2% /dev/shm + /dev/mapper/MonVolume2-UbuntuRacine ext4 492G 235G 232G 51% / Lsusb: - Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub - Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:58f6 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
