Public bug reported: Following the information I gathered from
http://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start http://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1373802 I tried to set a simple policy for the browser. All I did is create a file "policy.json" in /etc/chromium- browser/policies/managed with the following content: { "HomepageLocation": "www.chromium.org" } However when starting chromium there is no sign of the policy: "about:policy" does not show any policy being set. Running 'strings /usr/lib/chromium- browser/chromium-browser|grep policies' gives me: /etc/chromium/policies /etc/chromium-browser/policies so everything should be fine. To be sure I also tried setting the policy in /etc/chromium/policies. I also tried to set the policy in "recommended" in both paths. I also tested running chromium under a new user account, but it did not change anything. The policy is simply not set. Either I am doing something wrong or this is not working. To be on the safe side I also tried a different content: { "RestoreOnStartup": 4, "RestoreOnStartupURLs": ["http://www.chromium.org"; } Did not work either. ** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1414753 Title: Chromium browser 39.0.2171.65 does not load policies Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Following the information I gathered from http://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start http://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1373802 I tried to set a simple policy for the browser.
