Xfce Run Preferred Web Browser with Argument
I am running Arch Linux and have Xfce4 installed along with Chromium.

I am running Arch Linux and have Xfce4 installed along with Chromium. I want to make Chromium my default web browser, but unless I pass the option --user-data-dir=/home/chris, it doesn't start because I am the root user. I have tried going to Applications->Settings->Preferred Applications in Xfce and setting the web browser to /usr/bin/chromium "%s" --user-data-dir=/home/chris (I have also switched "%s" and the option). However, when I click on the web browser icon in the bottom panel, I get the normal Chromium error (can't run as root) and another error Failed to Execute default Web Browser - Input/Output Error So, my question is how can I make Chromium the default web browser and pass the required argument every time it is started?

I am trying to use my SOCKS5 proxy with username and password authentication in Google Chromium. I have tried almost every possible proxy switcher addon available in the chrome extensions store. All of them have neglected to add support for authentication, except for "Proxy Helper", which does not work. I am confident my proxy server is configured correctly, as it works in other applications. The proxy settings button in the Chromium settings tab is "grayed out"/disabled, however this would only load the DE-specific proxy settings panel. I do not wish to use this proxy system wide, so this is not an option anyway. I have determined that it is possible to specify a proxy for chromium using command-line flags. The documentation on the Chromium site has no mention of username/password authentication at all. So I feel as if I have exhausted all possible options. Who would have thought such a seemingly-simple configuration would be so difficult. If anyone knows if a simple "per-application" proxy configuration tool exists, similar to "Proxifier" on Windows, please let me know. I am using Arch Linux.

Chrome still opens Nautilus in spite changing the default file manager to Dolphin in Pop!_OS
Recently, I changed my default file manager from Nautilus to Dolphin in Pop!_OS by this command: ``` xdg-mime default org.kde.dolphin.desktop inode/directory' ``` and checked again which is the default file manager by executing this command: ``` xdg-mime query default inode/directory ``` and I get t...
Recently, I changed my default file manager from Nautilus to Dolphin in Pop!_OS by this command:
xdg-mime default org.kde.dolphin.desktop inode/directory'
and checked again which is the default file manager by executing this command:
xdg-mime query default inode/directory
and I get this output:
org.kde.dolphin.desktop
But, Gogle Chrome still opens Nautilus as the default file manager. I thought of removing it, but doing so will result in potential damage to my system since it is a built-in file. Here is the picture to view the scenario. enter image description here And, instantly when I browsed that picture, Chrome, as usual, used Nautilus to browse the picture. enter image description here Anyway to sort out this issue? I just want to sure that all applications use Dolphin as the default file manager without removing Nautilus. Update: As suggested, I also used xdg-open command to find the default file manager the system is using. And I noticed that, Dolphin opens up automatically with the entered file location.

Visual glitches on Chrome - but only in some places. What could be the problem?

The computer in question is one that I've set up for my mother-in-law, but I can remotely access it anytime via TeamViewer. She is only using it for browsing web via Chrome, and so far it's worked great, but lately she's complained that some websites are displaying visual artifacts. More details: * It runs Linux Mint, latest version with automatic updates. * It's an older machine - Phenom II X2 550 CPU, 6GB of RAM, Radeon 6450 GPU (passively cooled), Samsung 860 Evo SSD. Still powerful enough for web browsing. * The glitches usually are either black blocks or gray/blank areas. Kind of reminds me of GPU memory corruption, however the symptoms don't quite match. * They are reliably reproducible in the same webpages in the same places. Other webpages don't have them. * It's not a monitor glitch - I can see them over through TeamViewer. * Rebooting does not help. * Enabling experimental Vulcan support in Chrome has helped a lot, but some places still have them. * Running a few online 3D WebGL benchmarks don't exhibit any corruption * Firefox seems to run fine, but she's used to Chrome, so I'd rather not change that. * The glitches don't seem to line up with any HTML elements * The glitches scroll with the webpage * The desktop environment itself as well as other apps (that I tried at least) don't exhibit any corruption, HOWEVER: * When I tried viewing her computer over TeamViewer today, I noticed that my connection seems to freeze at times. At one point I even had to reconnect. I wanted to chalk that down to flaky internet (although we both have broadband cable), but then she told me that the freezes were happening on her side as well - so it wasn't the internet that was freezing, but rather her whole PC. I tried looking for evidence in logfiles, but all I could find was a hang and a core dump of systemd-udevd which might have lined up with the biggest freeze. Not much else to go on, but I also don't know where to look. * She also complained that lately some of the little arcade games that she likes to play on the web (solitaire, mahjong, breakout-clones, etc) have become much slower - albeit no glitches. I can't make up my mind if this feels more like a software bug or a hardware bug. Hardware bugs are usually more all-encompassing than just a single app in specific places. But visually it resembles hardware bugs and systemd-udevd is related to hardware... **Any ideas what could be the problem, or where I should look for more evidence?** Unfortunately I don't have any screenshots, but here's an interesting cellphone photo she sent me. Note in particular the cloud icons that overlap the glitches. I later connected to her computer (after it had been rebooted) and reproduced this view EXACTLY (which is another strike against hardware bugs - they're usually more random). This particular glitch went away after enabling the Vulcan support, but later she discovered other webpages that still have these glitches. enter image description here

I have two monitors, both originally 1920×1080 (landscape). I want to rotate both to portrait mode so that their effective resolution becomes 1080×1920, and then stack them vertically using xrandr. Here’s what I want to achieve: 1. Both monitors in portrait orientation 2. HDMI1 on top 3. DP2 on bottom 4. Total virtual screen resolution: 1080×3840 5. Preferably with HDMI1 as the primary display ❌ What I tried and the result: I followed this thread, and it worked for landscape mode (3840x1080). This is my Python code where I am executing the xrandr commands using subprocess.
cmds = [
        ["xrandr", "--output", secondary, "--same-as", primary],
        ["xrandr", "--output", primary, "--panning", "1080x3840+0+0/0x0+0+0/0/0/0/0"],
        ["xrandr", "--output", secondary, "--pos", "0x1920"],
        ["xrandr", "--output", primary, "--panning", "0x0"],
        ["xrandr", "--output", secondary, "--panning", "0x0"],
        ["xrandr", "--output", primary, "--auto", "--pos", "0x0", "--primary"],
        ["xrandr", "--output", secondary, "--auto", "--pos", "0x1920"]
    ]
**Result:** 1. On one screen, the Chrome video is displayed half (HDMI1) which is correct, and the other half should be displayed on another screen (DP2). **But DP2 is not showing the video that I am playing in Chrome.** what could be the problem? Your suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

So I have Chromium (137), and Kwallet, and they work ok, Chromium saves and offers passwords on sites, and they are correct. But I want to backup my passwords to external drive (and there are another use cases when I need plain-text password, like console github login), so I opened Chromium password manager - and it was empty. No passwords at all. Offering passwords on login screen still works OK. Do you know how I can extract passwords from 'Login Data' sqlite using Kwallet key (I tried kwalletcli -f "Chromium Keys" -e "Chromium Safe Storage" and it returned me something looks like a key) or just make Chromium password manager work? Thanks

No matter what I do, the browsers of my **Kali Linux VM** crash. I have tried **Firefox ESR** (**preinstalled**), **Firefox**, **Google Chrome**, and **Chromium**. In Firefox the whole browser crashes (max 1-2 mins after starting and using it) and on the chromium-based browsers only the Tabs crash, without any error message. When I start Firefox from the command line I receive this as error message, when it crashes: ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal... 8253 ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. Exiting due to channel error. I use **VirtualBox** and installed Kali Linux several times with these two options (each with the settings of the Documentation): - Using Kali Linux prebuilt Virtual Machines - Installing the Kali Linux with an image In the VMs I also ran: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and I checked the browser for updates. Furthermore, many clean installations didn't work. Of course, I have tried to look up this issue. But I didn't find anything from the last few years. My question is what am I missing? Why does the standard browser not work on a prebuilt Virtual Machine? And why are the others also crashing? Thank you for helping me!

Touchscreen sometimes stops registering inputs during kiosk mode

I am working on a project using a yocto build for a compulab module for the imx8 processor. It contains a ft5x06 touchscreen, connected to using a custom out-of-tree usb-i2c bridge module. This all works fine in normal use. When running a chromium webapp, sometimes the touchscreen goes non-responsive. I can still interact with the screen using a mouse and keyboard. If I run evtest, the touchscreen appears to still be responsive, but the chromium kiosk window does not register it. I am running wayland underneath. It is possible the custom driver is causing issues, but the fact that it still functions under evtest makes me sceptical. As an aside, chromium seems to trigger gpu errors. I don't know if this could be related or not.
[ 1815.795710] gcmkONERROR: status=-3(gcvSTATUS_OUT_OF_MEMORY) @ _GFPAlloc(491)
dmesg does not show anything useful. I've noticed that sometimes plugging in a mouse and scrolling is enough to get it working again (this worked 3 out of 4 times I have reproduced the issue). The issue is intermittent and not easily repeatable. I'm looking for any advice or suggestions of how to approach debugging this.

(no, it isn't this ) My bold fonts are completely deformed in some sites (mostly SE) in chromium. I have had this issue for a while on two Arch systems, but not in Ubuntu. Here is an example from a question I was viewing (getting carried away again ...): enter image description here As you can see, some letters are bigger than others, and it generally looks a mess. I tried messing with the chromium fonts, but it seems the problematic SE sites have their own fonts they want, which overrides chromium's settings. What is going wrong? Is this some kind of extreme hinting that totally malforms the letters? Or is there something I ought to install? Come to think of it, what font is it? The only fitting fonts I have installed are Helvatica (Neue) and Nimbus Sans.

How do I change the font Chromium exposes as `ui-monospace`?
Currently, this is always Liberation Mono, which I hate, and it *doesn't* respect the font gsetting (I use MATE).

How can I start a web page with command line and with hard refresh cache option (equivalent of CTRL-F5 if I tried to manually opened it with cromium)? I think there must be an argument option to do that but I couldn't find it.

Chromium not opening in WSL2

I am a Linux noob using the Ubuntu 20.04 distro. I use Linux via WSL2 and my OS is Windows 10.

I tried using the terminal to open it and then this came up: > [0103/222716.865545:ERROR:exception_handler_server.cc(361)] getsockopt: Invalid argument I referred to [this video](https://youtu.be/FJ-ymbDIths) to install Chromium: . But I couldn't do one step in it, the one around 3:30 minutes as I couldn't find the *Softwares and Updates* window. I don't know whether that caused the issue. How to fix this? I haven't found any possible duplicates for this yet. EDIT: As mentioned in the comments, I checked the version and found it to be version 1! I don't know why it happened though!

How to sync bookmarks (favourites) between Google Chrome and Chromium

I'm new to the world of Raspberry 2 and Linux and I have install Chromium on the Raspberry. I did this because I thought it would be a good way to access my Google Chrome Bookmarks (Favourites). However, I'm having problems. When I log into Chromium in order to sync, I get the message: > The sync server is busy, please try again later. I've tried a few hours later, next day, etc. I suspect the sync server being busy is not the problem. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem and help me sync my bookmarks? The version of Chromium is:22.0.1229.94. I vaguely understand it's possible to get a later version. I'm new to Linux and would have to be told the explicit steps to do so. The Linux I'm running came with the Raspberry 2 and is some flavor of Debian (I'd report the version number if I knew where to look!). Finally, I'm not wedded to Chromium. I just want a browser where I can see my Chrome bookmarks and (ideally) have them synced every time I add a bookmark to Chrome or the browser on Raspberry.
