My system is running fine as far as I can tell, but reading a msg in
this group raised my curiosity about update-desktop-database.
When I do I get dozens of lines of applications lacking a MimeType key.
Here are the first few.
allan gottlieb # update-desktop-database --verbose
Search path is now: [/usr/local/share/applications, /usr/share/applications]
Could not create cache file in directory '/usr/local/share/applications':
Error opening directory '/usr/local/share/applications': No such file
or directory
File '/usr/share/applications/gksu.desktop' lacks MimeType key
File '/usr/share/applications/yelp.desktop' lacks MimeType key
File '/usr/share/applications/reclevel.desktop' lacks MimeType key
File '/usr/share/applications/meld.desktop' lacks MimeType key
I googled but only found msgs where things were failing.
Should I be concerned about the lack of MimeType keys and if so what
should I do about it.
thanks,
allan
