Hello. Long time no see :-). I’ve been a bit busy. Anyway just installed Bodhi 5.1 legacy onto a netbook and installed Chromium from the software centre. But it wouldn’t open. I get “Chromium web browser stopped running unexpectedly “.
So decided to uninstall it and terminology says it isn’t there to uninstall. So I went into synaptic and it was marked as installed (Bodhi chromium). So uninstalled it there- but it’s still installed! And still won’t open. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how bodhi-chromium works on legacy, but the chromium-browser package (from ubuntu bionic) is available...
With firefox are you talking about dark theme, or something else?

Hi. I just installed chromium from the software centre, which I’ve always done before. Not sure what is happening with Firefox. I haven’t selected any themes. It’s basically the Google page that looks like a dark theme.

Firefox tries to use background related to system theme if you have it set that way, which means your gtk application theme. If you don't like it, you can change your application theme (settings panel / look / application theme), which will affect all gtk apps including firefox. Or within firefox go to settings/extensions and themes and set firefox to light, or alpenglow, or any other, instead of "system" or "dark".
And as to removing chromium if you're still trying to do that, my point was I suspect its the chromium-browser package you need to remove. But still odd that it wont even open tho, if you want to troubleshoot, run chromium-browser from terminal and check (or share here) the output.

Thanks. Re Chromium. Can’t open it - can’t remove it! How do you mean open it in terminal and share here please? If I put sudo apt get remove chromium I just get - chromium isn’t installed. Tried the same with “chromium browser” “chromium-browser” and “bodhi-chromium “ too.
According to synaptic and the terminal, it isn’t installed!
Firefox - I wondered about the theme but tried various themes - light and dark - and it made no difference. Makes a difference to the top bars but not the actual Google web page. Also tried changing to light theme in Firefox snd still made no difference (because according to Firefox it’s on default theme anyway).

ah yeah my bad. just click settings on the bottom right of google.com, and set "dark theme" off; seems to be a website setting, apparently not using browser setting, so I sent you on the wrong path.
before: after: As to chromium. It sounds like the app itself has been removed but somehow the shortcut didnt get removed correctly. (perhaps a bug related to how bodhi chromium package works from app center, I could play around with it and see maybe, but doesnt explain why it never ran for you in the first place). If you want to troubleshoot further sudo apt install chromium-browser
chromium-browserthen capture what's in the terminal and paste here.

I am a complete novice on Bodhi. I downloaded and installed on an older laptop. When I initiate the Chromium Web Browser, I get a message that says Chromium Web Browser stopped running unexpectedly. I found this post and followed the suggestions. Here is my output from the terminology window.
mkent@mkent-Inspiron-600m:~$ sudo apt install chromium-browser
[sudo] password for mkent:
Reading package lists... Done

chromium-browser is already the newest version (104.0.5112.101-0ubuntu0.18.04.1).
chromium-browser set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
mkent@mkent-Inspiron-600m:~$ chromium-browser
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
mkent@mkent-Inspiron-600m:~$
I appreciate your help.

Since Ubuntu started using snap for chromium we have been packaging our own deb file. Snaps are disabled by default on Bodhi. To install that do
sudo apt update && sudo apt install bodhi-chromium
You might want to remove chromium-browser first.
sudo apt purge chromium-browser

This original post was about Bodhi 5.1 legacy. For Bodhi 5.1, ubuntu provides the chromium-browser package. The bodhi-chromium package in Bodhi 5.1 is redirected to chromium-browser. For Bodhi 6.0 legacy beta, debian provides the chromium package and bodhi-chromium should redirect to that. Only Bodhi 6 standard actually uses the bodhi packaged chromium. The redirects on other versions were done to be compatible with the bodhi app center website, so it can install "bodhi-chromium" on any of them and then get the appropriate chromium version automatically.
hippytaff With this new poster on old thread, it appears they are on are on Bodhi 5.1 legacy, so your suggestion will not do anything besides remove and install (which wont hurt). If on 6.0 standard, chromium-browser will try to install the snap package, which will fail by default as bodhi has snapd installation blocked. And If they're on 6.0 legacy beta, there is no chromium-browser package so it won't work.
kent Perhaps you have a very old machine without sse3, what is your CPU? I'd try another browser in the meantime at least so you have a working browser, for example do any of these work for ya?
sudo apt install firefox
or
sudo apt install epiphany-browser
or
sudo apt install palemoon
