#1681 Chromium won't run after privoxy was installed

[Amy_Lu_Who]

I am running Ubuntu Unity. I have configured firefox to run with (through) Privoxy, but have utterly failed to do so with Chromium. Chromium says it follows system proxy settings (Which I changed to local host and port 8118 to no avail. How do I configure my computer, or privoxy so that Chromium will work? Firefox doesn't work properly for my school website and Chromium is what I was told to try next. (I also vastly prefer Chromium to firefox.)

Try verifying that Privoxy is listening at 127.0.0.1:8118
and set your "system settings" to the same address.

A common problem on Debian-based systems is that the
Privoxy defaults are modified to use "localhost" which
may resolve to an IPv6 address.
