There has been discussion on the RPi forum concerning re-enabling google sync with chromium. See: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=314477
The fix involves editing or adding a file named 00-rpi-vars to /etc/chromium-browser/customizations/ for 32-bit, or /etc/chromium.d/ for 64-bit systems.
The contents of the file start with “CHROMIUM_FLAGS=”${CHROMIUM_FLAGS}…"
I have tried this and it works in Raspberry Pi OS.
I am looking for a way to do this in manjaro, but I cannot find a similar file in /etc or in /home/.config/chromium
Is there a location where chromium will input such a file if added?
file for set options (but is not for enable sync!) is:
~/.config/chromium-flags
For enable sync, we can set env vars (is in your link !!!) GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_DEFAULT_CLIENT_SECRET ; we can in ~/.local/share/applications/chromium.desktop
Thank you for your quick reply.
I found chromium.desktop in /usr/share/applications/ and added the line you suggest, using the ID and SECRET values that worked in Raspi OS. Unfortunately this did not allow me to sign in to google.
I tried copying the file to /home/…/.local/share.applications/
This also did not work.
Please let me know if you have any idea on what the problem may be .
