Aislinn Report post Posted September 12, 2018 I have been trying to get F2 to launch chromium. Nothing happens. Firefox works fine, both if I type Firefox into the Options Server Browser box directly from in-game, and if I edit el.ini. However, nothing happens with chromium. I have tried chromium, chromium-browser, /usr/bin/chromium both entering those ingame and via el.ini. I run Arch Linux. Also a guildie runs Mac and is also having trouble with his client always launching Safari no matter what other browser he enters in both places. Also of note, if I run chromium via a terminal as $ chromium, it launches chromium just fine. Is there a trick we're missing or is the Browser function broken?

vinoveritas Report post Posted September 12, 2018 You could try to set the x-www-browser flag. not sure how to do it in arch linux in Debian based systems its like this. update-alternatives --config x-www-browser at least el understands x-www-browser in the config file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluap Report post Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) I changed the setting from the options window to "chromium-browser" which worked fine and immediately for me. This is on Ubuntu 18.04. I'll give my arch install when I have time (I have to change disks on an old laptop). On Linux at least, If you have x-www-browser set like vinoveritas says, then you can use x-www-browser in the client setting. You can also use xdg-open to open your default browser.

Aislinn Report post Posted September 12, 2018 I am starting to suspect it's something wrong with my setup and not the client. xdg-open did not work. I also tried adding export BROWSER=/usr/bin/chromium to my .bashrc and that did nothing. I don't think Arch has the update-alternatives --config x-www-browser function.

bluap Report post Posted September 15, 2018 I've just tried on Arch and I can switch between the in-client settings of firefox and chromium and both work just fine. Which build of the client are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aislinn Report post Posted September 15, 2018 I compile my own and I just compiled on Sept. 9. I've had this problem forever, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
