Proxy for Chromium on Xubuntu

Need proxy for Chromium on Xubuntu? One quickly notices that the “Change Proxy Settings Button” on the “Under the Hood” tab of Chromium 4.0.257.0 (Ubuntu Build 32926) takes one to LinuxCertManagement on the code site. Also, Chromium seems to ignore your .bashrc attempts to “EXPORT all_proxy” global proxy setting. So, you could try installing various Gnome network management GUI’s or whatever, but here is likely the most direct lightweight solution:

  • sudo vi /etc/chromium-browser/defaul
  • CHROMIUM_FLAGS=”-proxy-server=nn.nnn.nn.nn:pppp”

Where nnn’s are IP address or proxy server name and pppp is any applicable port number. If this doesn’t work for you or you have a better solution, do let me know. TIA.
