Setting it in Preferred Applications does *not* work for me. Upon opening Preferred Applications again, Firefox is again the default browser.
this error appears when running gnome-default-applications-properties, upon setting the default browser to chromium: (gnome-default-applications-properties:28940): default-applications- properties-WARNING **: Error setting default browser: Failed to create file '/home/michael/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list.GGETVV': Permission denied and for some reason, ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list are both owned by root? seems like this may be an unrelated bug... changing ownership of the directory and file seems to solve the issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776393 Title: Can't make Chromium my default web browser -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
