It appears the startpage in recent versions of chromium is hardcoded to a
custom view that displays most visited pages as well as a google search box if
google is the current search engine.
I couldn't find any preference for users to set a custom start page.

it should be /etc/chromium, as that is not in use, and is what the

Title:
Use the ubuntu startpage by default
To manage
I think a patch for us to use /etc/chromium-browser is reasonable.
I think fta's analysis in #13 is right -- I believe the point of
"managed" is for prefs that cannot be overridden (some corps want to
e.g. force SSL settings or whatever). I don't know a whole lot about
how this stuff is all going
if i read the code correctly, upstream wants (*) to allow
/etc/chromium/policies/managed/
and /etc/chromium/policies/recommended/
then, a given pref is taken from the 1st of:
- managed/
- user defined
- recommended/
so we want mostly to provide prefs in recommended/ so users can
overwrite our ch
i think we should get an official mechanism for this upstream. that
mechanism, as fta pointed out should allow us to put changes to
preference in packages != chromium. so basically having a pref folder
that is read in run-parts order would make sense. in that way you could
ship a 90_final-pref fil
this means chromium will now use /etc/chromium/policies if present.
I already have /etc/chromium-browser with a 'default' file where i let users
specify which flags they always want to pass to chromium.
I guess i'll use that path instead as it matches both the package name and the
binary name, me

BTW, I've seen some patches go by upstream that modify the location we
look for files like the master prefs. Independently of how you package
it, it'd be nice if you pushed patches upstream (or at least started
bugs uptream) to fix paths like these when you think our default
behavior is wrong. (I
Please, *don't* upload this to ubuntu (see the Maintainer field).
I want to provide an alternative to have the default page for those who don't
want the ubuntu startup page.
In firefox, it's provided via ubufox, which could be removed. I would have
preferred a similar mechanism in chromium.

I forgot to mention that the preference file need some tweaking for the
default values, but it's up to you to put what you want :-)

Sounds like a good idea. I agree this would make the browser fit more
neatly into Ubuntu.

Reading the .spec from OpenSuse, this support seems quite simple. It used 3
parts :
- 1 master preferences file (master_preferences)
- Installing it in /etc/chromium (it should be /etc/chromium-browser in our

- Patching the source to be able to read this file on first startup

I believe the Novell folks added some "default preferences" support just
for this sort of thing. I'm not exactly sure how it works, though! :)
