Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu 16.04 Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1673156 Title: Syntax error in /usr/share/applications/mate-mimeapps.list Status in ubuntu-mate-settings package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-mate-settings source package in Xenial: Triaged Bug description: The lines in /usr/share/applications/mate-mimeapps.list end in semicolons while they shouldn't; and that breaks xdg-mime and xdg- open. Specifically: $ grep plain /usr/share/applications/mate-mimeapps.list text/plain=pluma.desktop; That should be like that instead: text/plain=pluma.desktop A small effect of of the issue is: $ xdg-mime query default text/plain pluma.desktop; That should return plain "pluma.desktop". To see a more severe effect, we have to symlink that file to /etc/xdg/mimeapps.list, otherwise xdg-open falls back to gvfs-open and mate-mimeapps.list isn't used at all! sudo ln -s /usr/share/applications/mate-mimeapps.list /etc/xdg/mimeapps.list sudo strace -e trace=file xdg-open /etc/adduser.conf 2>&1 | grep "desktop;" ... faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share//applications//pluma.desktop;", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) I.e. it tries to find a "pluma.desktop;" file and fails, instead of searching for "pluma.desktop". Then it opens the file with "less" and "libreoffice" at the same time! ==> I propose that /usr/share/applications/mate-mimeapps.list gets dropped completely. ubuntu-mate-default-settings ships /usr/share/mate/applications/defaults.list as well, and that one is more complete and doesn't have syntax errors.
