<div>So it looks like overall the Lu 20+ install is "OK" . . .
except for the issue with Chromium ID in the drop down menu??

<div>Having just done a couple of upgrade moves to get to 20.10
in both of my ubuntu distros, I do recall seeing a wiki that
seemed to suggest going from LTS to the next LTS, in this case
18.04 . . . and then to 20.04 . . . you may have gone through
that process, but it wasn't spelled out . . . **possibly** if
you jumped from 16 straight outta compton to 20???? that may
have got some stuff "mishandled"????</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Usually if there is some issue, even "bug report" level
stuff, after a few updates they often "just disappear . . .
gone . . . just like that, gone . . . ."<br>

<div>OK, well, that might be "exclusive," as in my
lxde desktop session I have a visual listing of it .
. . . Did you run another "apt update/dist-upgrade"
subsequently to your install?<br>

<div>I was running Lu 20.04 up until it was
released and now I'm in 20.10 . . . I have
Chromium browser installed and it is
plainly in view in the "internet" menu . .
.also in the drop down is "chrome apps" .
. . . It's been so long since I did the
install,possibly through synaptics . . .
it should be there, I might think that
whether in LXQT or LXDE if it's installed,
it's "installed."</div>

<p>It does appear in the menu when using the

<p>I originally installed Lubuntu as a test system, and I
kept updating it to the latest version. I'm not sure
which level I started with. <br>
</p>
<p>When I upgraded to Lubuntu 20.04 (in a terminal session,
using "sudo do-release-upgrade -d"), things seemed to be
working well, and I was able to install my Eclipse Java
development environment, and things were working well. <br>
</p>
<p>My Ubuntu 20.04 upgrade (which I was thinking of
switching to), didn't end up with a working Eclipse
development environment. <br>
</p>
<p>Using the LXDE desktop on Lubuntu 20.04, I was able to
even use my strange color scheme, which I like a lot, and
things were working in Eclipse. <br>
</p>
<p>So I restored my production files from 16.04 to the 20.04
system, and started working with that. <br>
</p>
<p>That process proceeded without many problems, so I
'transferred my flag' to the new system. <br>
</p>
<p>I'm just now cleaning up the last few 'rough edges'. <br>
</p>
<p>The thing I like most about the new system, is that
Rosegarden now loads channel recording filters (which it
didn't on 16.04, and LibreOffice Writer, once again allows
you to produce HTML files where graphics images are
linked-to in the HTML file, rather than forcing you to
embed them as data within the HTML file. <br>
</p>
<p>I've been using an old copy of openSUSE Linux for editing
HTML web-pages, because of the need to keep the graphics
images separate. But now, I can use my production system
to do it once again. <br>

<p>Probably, the system I used, was a fresh-install of Lubuntu
18.10, to which I added my MIDI music & KeyMusician Keyboard
test applications, and did my testing. <br>
</p>
<p>That system was upgraded (and tested) through 19.04, 19.10 (which
I set up to use the LXDE desktop), and finally to 20.04,
recently. The release notes say you can't upgrade from 18.04 to
any of the later levels. <br>
</p>
<p>I took that test system, installed a lot of applications
(including the Eclipse Java development environment, which is a
snap-package), with the idea of evaluating it as a production
system. <br>
</p>
<p>I then restored all my home directory files, using the Backups
application (deja-dup) from a backup taken on my Lubuntu 16.04
system. <br>
</p>
<p>I installed a number of other applications I realized I needed
(including Chromium), and started using the new system. I tried
out both the LXDE desktop, and the LXQT desktop. <br>
</p>
<p>Surprisingly, there were few problems. Chromium not appearing in
the menu being one of them. <br>
</p>
<p>I have gone nearly a week with the new system now, and am able to
do all the things I normally do. <br>
