Package: chromium-browser
Version: 6.0.472.63~r59945-1
Severity: normal
Hello
When trying to configure Chromium to use Privoxy (the privoxy Debian package),
there are two (separate?) issues:
1. in the gui options dialog, clicking on "change proxy settings" just display
the following text in the top browser window:
When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the
system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is
not supported or there was a problem launching your system
configuration.
But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man
chromium-browser for more information on flags and environment
variables.
2. starting Chromium as
chromium-browser --proxy-server=localhost:8118
makes it unable to get any web page, apparently because privoxy is listening on
::1, but not on 127.0.0.1. Even this
chromium-browser --proxy-server=ipv6-localhost:8118
does not help. Changing /etc/privoxy/config
-listen-address localhost:8118
+listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118
and restarting privoxy makes Chromium as
chromium-browser --proxy-server=localhost:8118
work.
So thanks to this workaround, I can still use it. Hopefully people can at least
find this bug as help in case it cannot be fixed for the next release.
I guess this is really a duplicate of bug #601255, but not being sure and to
provide my own software versions I'm sending this separate report.
Christian.
