2019-04-10 05:35:00 ԜаӀtеr Ⅼарсһуnѕkі summary Can't set Chromium as the default browser Can't set Chromium as the default browser when BROWSER variable is defined
2019-04-10 05:41:55 ԜаӀtеr Ⅼарсһуnѕkі description Every time I launch the browser it suggests to be set as the default but if I click on that button nothing will change: I'll get the suggestion the next time I open Chromium, even if I reboot. Changing the default browser on configuration panel didn't solve the issue Lubuntu 19.10 beta on Athlon 64x2 5200+ STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install firefox 2. Set `BROWSER=firefox` 3. Open firefox and make sure it is the default browser 4. Install chromium-browser 5. Open chromium-browser and set it as the default browser 6. Click on a link or use `xdg-open URL` EXPECTED RESULTS Link opens in chromium-browser ACTUAL RESULTS Link opens in firefox instead. Running chromium-browser from the terminal, when trying to change the default browser, the error "xdg-settings: $BROWSER is set and can't be changed with xdg-settings" appears. BROWSER, xdg-setting's default-web-browser, and xdg-mime's default for text/html remain unchanged. It's not possible to set the value of default-web-browser when the BROWSER variable is set. Yet, when making firefox default, the end result is that BROWSER is still set and default-web-browser and the default for text/html has changed. chromium-browser 73.0.3683.103-0ubuntu1
