The direct command is

sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

then choose the one you want as default.

What's the output of :

update-alternatives --list x-www-browser

Remember you have to have both browsers listed as options.

You may need to set the priority higher. Currently it's at 40, while Chrome is at 150, so it wins out.

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser  x-www-browser  /usr/bin/chromium  <priority_#>

Just make the priority number bigger than 150. That *should* work, but as per always someone correct me if i'm wrong?

johnraff · 2016-08-25 02:32:06

^@H_B sorry, that's not it. The priority number determines which alternative will be "auto" selected. exe has already "manually" set chromium for x-www-browser.

@exe, one thing to check, run this in a terminal:

exo-preferred-applications

In the window that opens, make sure that Web Browser is set to "Debian Sensible Browser". This will redirect to x-www-browser.
You could choose "Chromium" directly, but the above setting lets you change later more easily.

Aw, sorry for the mis-advice then exe... I didn't see that it was manual. I'll make note of it. Glad you got it working though. Thanks J.Raff

^ For reference, the symlinks in /etc/alternatives define the program used, hence my request O:)

Right, yea that I saw, but his output for your request was that it did indeed point to Chromium. So I thought maybe it was being "intercepted" or something, or modified due to the priority number... Silly me!

exe · 2016-08-25 18:10:44

mmm, well with "Debian Sensible Browser" too work

thanks again.

I don't want to drag this out longer than needed... but doesn't setting the Chromium browser with exo-prefered sort or by-pass the problem? If all of his settings were correct...Then the "Debian Sensible Browser" choice should have worked as well?
