Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-mime-data
In the file /usr/share/mime-info/gnome-vfs.keys the default browser for mime type text/html is listed as epiphany. default_action_type=application default_application_id=epiphany Should this be changed to firefox? Also listed are the application ids for different user levels: short_list_application_ids_for_novice_user_level=epiphany,galeon,mozilla,netscape short_list_application_ids_for_intermediate_user_level=epiphany,galeon,mozilla,netscape short_list_application_ids_for_advanced_user_level=epiphany,galeon,mozilla,netscape,lynx These aren't installed by default on the system I'm on right now (Xubuntu 8.04). I'd guess they are probably not installed by default on newer ones either. I think this file is an older way to specify MIME types which has since been replaced by a system which is located in /usr/share/applications However, there may still be code which uses this. For example, wxWidgets 2.8.7 This is why I think Audacity lists the following error when I try to click on the manual link in the welcome screen: execvp(epiphany, http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/documentation) failed with error 2! (the same applications are listed in the gnome-mime-data package for jaunty, downloaded from http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/gnome/ ) ** Affects: gnome-mime-data (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- text/html applications in gnome-vfs.keys https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313962 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
