[Solved] Chromium proxy problem

bharath1097 · 2011-08-02 23:14:17

I have a weird issue with chromium browser. I am behind a proxy server. I am using LXDE and if i boot into runlevel 3 and press startx to start LXDE, then chromium is recognising my http_proxy variable and proxy settings work fine. But if i boot into runlevel 5 and use a display manager like SLIM or XDM, then chromium is not recognising my http_proxy variable.

How are you setting the http_proxy variable? Login with a display manager and do "echo $http_proxy" in a terminal. If its blank then its not being set.

i am setting the http_proxy variable from bashrc. echo $http_proxy works and also proxy is working in other programs pacman, mercurial etc.

Your display manager doesn't source .bashrc so the http_proxy var isn't part of the parent environment that chromium inherits from.

Although a workaround, not a resolution; you can add --proxy-server=host:port parameter when launching chromium.
