[SOLVED]Preferred applications

[Sleven]

Google Chrome browser is set as my preferred program in the control center. Now every time after a reboot when I start Chrome, it says it is not set as the default browser. I switch it, but it doesn't stick. Any ideas as to how to correct this?

Try editing the defaults

Code: Select all

gksudo gedit /etc/gnome/defaults.list

You will need to change the lines that look like

Code: Select all

application/xhtml+xml=firefox.desktop
text/html=firefox.desktop
text/xml=firefox.desktop

This is how each was set up:

application/xhtml+xml=epiphany.desktop
text/html=epiphany.desktop
text/xml=gedit.desktop

I changed it to look like:

application/xhtml+xml=chrome.desktop
text/html=chrome.desktop
text/xml=chrome.desktop

Is that correct?

I believe so.. I have also seen google-chrome.desktop in case that doesn't work

Thanks, if it doesn't work I'll stick google in there.
