I now have chromium-browserchromium-browser 9.0.587.0~r66374-0ubuntu1~ucd~dev2 from ppa:chromium-daily-dev, which has already been updated to include MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https; in /usr/share/applications/chromium-browser.desktop. However, this isn’t sufficient to cause Chromium to act as the default browser, either when I select it in gnome-default-applications, or when I tell Chromium to make itself the default browser in its Preferences page.
It finally worked after I manually ran xdg-mime default chromium-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/http xdg-mime default chromium-browser.desktop x-scheme-handler/https gnome-default-applications-properties needs to be updated to set the default associations for these new types, and xdg-settings needs to be updated so that chromium can set them for itself. -- gnome-open uses firefox while it's not the preferred browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/670128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
