Title:
  sudo xdg-open doesn't work

Status in “xdg-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xdg-utils

  Hi,

  Try this:

  sudo xdg-open /usr/share/

  It failed with:

  Warning: unknown mime-type for "/usr/share" -- using 
"application/octet-stream"
  Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"

  gksu does not work either.

  Cheers
