I'm embarrassed to be asking this, but how do I set the default browser for embedded URLs to Chrome if I don't have the Gnome Desktop installed?
I know this is a FAQ, and I've even answered it myself in the past, but the rules seem to have changed. There is no longer a gnome-control-center app in the Fedora repositories, and the xdg* stuff is correctly set to google-chrome, as is $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
There seem to be far too many competing ways to set up default applications.
Here's what I usually do:
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE \ xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME \ xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop
since xdg-settings generally only tweaks things for the current-running DE, I run it for each (KDE/GNOME), which handles most cases and applications.
