How to change skype default browser
Installing packages from the Ubuntu software center using snap
have some issues.
"snap", a new cross-OS package manager. Snap will be much better than APT one day, but right now it's in the beginning stages and experiencing growing pains.
I removed skype
from the software center and I downloaded the .deb
file from Official Skype website.
Then I installed it using dpkg
which solved the problem.
Note: this answer inspired me.
For me, the following command immediately fixed the issue:
ln -s ~/.config/mimeapps.list ~/snap/skype/common/.config/mimeapps.list
To make it work with snap do the following:
- Quit skype
ln -s ~/.config/mimeapps.list ~/snap/skype/common/.config/mimeapps.list
rm -rf ~/snap/skype/common/.config/google-chrome
sudo ln -s ~/.config/google-chrome ~/snap/skype/common/.config/
