I use ubuntu natty. The permissions are:
drwxr-xr-x 20 fain182 fain182 4096 2011-08-03 13:20 share drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-05-02 12:13 applications -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 159 2011-05-02 12:13 mimeapps.list But I never changed it, I don't know why are in this way.. Even if is a my problem, don't you think that if setting the applications fails there should be an error dialog instead of silent failing? ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820265 Title: gnome-default-applications-properties: permission denied on changing default applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/820265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
