mpm's questions

I use Xubuntu 12.04. I uninstalled Firefox and now use Google Chrome version 19.xxx.

To solve this problem, I tried:

• galternatives

• the "default apps" under settings and

• sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

Neither of these worked. Does anybody have an alternative solution for this?

--> Solution: I used the "sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/defaults.list" tip from 天使の and searched for firefox in the whole document! Everytime I found "firefox" I replaced it with "google-chrome.desktop". I also used the "default apps" menu to change it to google-chrome. And now it works.. I hope it helps some other ;-)

I want to integrate my Google contacts, calender and Gmail to Unity. And I don´t want to use Thunderbird or even worse Evolution.

Is there a possibility like in GNOME 3.xx? A lightweight contact / calendar / mail app (maybe one app for contact, one for calendar) would be welcome.

Edit: I want to use the calender to sync my appointments with google - e.g. I open my "ubuntu-calender", make a new appointment and it syncs with google calendar. Also return way.

The same with contacts. I want a see and edit all my contacts in an app and have them sync with google.

Gmail: A notifyer would be enough - just one click on the notifyer and it opens googlemail in chrome. Otherwise an lightweigth email client.

Kind regards mpm
