Bug#777265: chromium: Impossible to set chromium as default browser
I use an installation without desktop environment (today). And : apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies startxfce4 apt-get install iceweasel apt-get install chromium I launch chromium - Settings - Make chromium the default browser. (change nothing) I launch iceweasel, Make iceweasel the default browser - OK On the shell : chromium (on the top of the window : Chromium isn't your default browser - Set as default (nothing change) ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.

Is that more clear ? Whatever the desktop environment, it is impossible to do that. Sorry for my bad english. Thanx.

How are you trying to set the default? What are the error messages if any? What other browsers do you have installed that may be contending for the default?

Bug#777265:
I have the same bug I believe and have done for a couple of versions. It happens when Chromium gives a prompt upon first running it saying that it is not the default browser. I click 'make default browser' and the prompt goes away - but it does not make chromium the default browser and the prompt will return later asking the same thing. I have iceweasel installed as the current default browser. I'm running Testing like the original author. DE are cinnamon and Gnome
