I recently removed Firefox to put Chromium and found out a bug. I don't have an
menu entry for chromium.
I checked and the "chromium.desktop" is correct and placed in
"/usr/share/applications".
I have the following log when installing chromium through "apt" :
"As failed to rescan: Failed to parse /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop
file: cannot process file of type application/x-desktop"
I then tried to uninstall it with "apt" to get it directly from "gnome-
software". It installed but I still don't have a menu entry.
Moreover, when I go back to "gnome-software" I see 3 entry for chromium. One
not being installed, and two being installed.
However if I try to install the one that wasn't installed it give me the
following error :
"E: Could not find the repository"
