widget, Package 'epiphany-browser' is not installed, so not removed

Well that would make it hard to remove.
I think Xubuntu is one of the nicer Ubuntu family members but as a Xfce user I don't think much of it. A lot of different respins that offer Xfce use Xubuntu as a model and it is really too bad. Too many packages from Gnome, particularly Nautilus installed just to run the desktop and some config tools. This makes the Xfce settings manager appear to not work for some jobs. It actually works fine. The problem is that Gnome applications, not Xfce applications are running the show. This makes it a bit tough to help with your problem. How did you install Chrome? If you installed this outside the normal package management system it could be a problem. Even then I would have thought that if you open it from the menu it would throw up a popup box asking if you wanted to make that your default browser. This would be the easiest solution if I understand the problem correctly. |

I have two browsers installed (three including lynx), those being Chrome and Firefox. My preference is Firefox, but often Chrome gets defaulted to (to digress: I only installed Chrome because some sites require a later flash, which only Chrome has, but, frankly, I rarely care to look at these awful flash things anyway). So, if you find another browser is sometimes getting defaulted to when you open a website link via some program or another, then check the program itself for its defaults under either "options" or "preferences" and listed often as "external programs". Also, if using xfce, via the "Applications" button (the "Start" button in Windows speak) check Settings/Preferred Applications/Internet/Web Browser, and select the one you wish to use.
If you only have Chrome installed, then the "debian sensible browser" will be Chrome. It may open with different view settings than you're used to, though. Check the menu tab to identify what browser it is. Again, if you've only installed Chrome, then it will be Chrome. Not that it's particularly relevant, but the "Debian Sensible Browser" is just what is considered the default. The program sensible-browser is actually only a script that calls up an installed browser. It's not a browser itself. See script below: Code:
mark@mark-OptiPlex-755:~$ cat /usr/bin/sensible-browser Code:
mark@mark-OptiPlex-755:/usr/share/cups/drv$ cat /usr/share/xfce4/helpers/debian-sensible-browser.desktop |
