This is still the case in Lucid. Google Chrome uses xdg-open, which in turn relies on /etc/mailcap, which doesn't know about acroread.
Please include /usr/lib/mime/packages/acroread. Workaround: create the file manually, it should read application/pdf; /usr/bin/acroread '%s'; test=test "$DISPLAY" != ""; description=Portable Document Format; nametemplate=%s.pdf; priority=7 Then run sudo update-mime. You may also wish to also edit /etc/mailcap.order -- Karmic acroread does not become the default PDF handler for email even after answering "Yes" to the debconf question https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482533 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Partner Developers, which is subscribed to acroread in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
