[Touch-packages] [Bug 1749728] Re: Installing packages fails when launched via Firefox ("open with")
after some sleep I have a couple of additional comments:
the /usr/share/application-registry/gdebi.applications file the mime
list should be comma-delimited or at least that is what they did in the
liboffice.application file (it is the only other file in the directory).
while the steps in my previous post got gdebi to work from Thunar &
Opera it DID NOT fix Firefox.
For firefox the only thing I have found to work was to set
Terminal=true in the gdebi.desktop file. If you have multiple copies of
this file make sure you change the one in:
/usr/share/applications/gdebi.desktop:
I have one at:
/home/johndoe/.local/share/applications/gdebi.desktop
it was created by trying to edit via the Whisker Menu
I have another one at:
/home/johndoe/.local/share/applications/gdebi.desktop
it was created by trying to edit via MenuLibre
if anyone whishes to contact me they can do so @ whgi...@yahoo.com

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1749728] Re: Installing packages fails when launched via Firefox ("open with")
I finally got around to tracking down this problem it seems to be a
mimeinfo.cache issue.
If the reader is not familiar mimeinfo is part of the freedesktop and
contains all the mime types and their program associations.
for deb packages the primary mime type (called media types now because
why not } is:
application/vnd.debian.binary-package
with 2 depreciated alternates:
application/x-deb
application/x-debian-package
this is documented @ https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-
types/application/vnd.debian.binary-package
the entire mime list is @ http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/
these definitions are combined with default applications and put into
defaults.list file(s). On my system I have several . They are
located @:
/etc/g/etc/xfce4/defaults.list
nome/defaults.list
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list
/usr/share/xfce4/applications/defaults.list
/usr/share/xubuntu/applications/defaults.list
now I am not 100% but I believe that the mimeinfo.cache file is created
from the default.list (God only knows which one) and updated every time
a program/package is installed. This is all part of the Freedesktop/xdg
stuff and you can read the docs/specs @ their website.
On my system I have 2 of these files:
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
/home/johndoe/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
to "fix" the problem with launching gdebi from the Thunar context menu
(right mouse menu) I edited the /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
file so the only app association with the deb packages was gdebi.desktop
(and of course there are multiple of these on my system ):
application/vnd.debian.binary-package=gdebi.desktop;
application/x-deb=gdebi.desktop;
application/x-debian-package;
I also modified my in the same manner but it seems that the file in
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache is the critical one for Thunar,
To get Gdebi to work from the opera downloads via open downloaded .deb
file I had to add the mime associations to
/home/johndoe/.config/mimeapps.list (yea! another MIME file)
Now there is yet another MIME file /usr/share/mime/mime.cache which is a
binary file. It can be updated via the command:
$ sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime/
I don't know who or what uses it but I am at the tail end of an all-
nighter hunting down this bug so I updated it.
There is one more file that should be looked at:
/usr/share/application-registry/gdebi.applications
the last line in the file is:
mime_types=application/x-deb
I changed it to:
mime_types=application/x-deb;application/vnd.debian.binary-
package;application/x-debian-package;
not sure if it matters nor if it should be comma separated or semi-colon
separated perhaps the package maintainer can chime in.
I hope this is somewhat helpful. If you are reading this and NOT on an
xubuntu system you file locations may be different. use your favorite
file search utility (I use catfish) and look for "mimeinfo",
"defaults.list", "mime", and "gdebi"

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1749728] Re: Installing packages fails when launched via Firefox ("open with")
I am experiencing the same behavior in Xubuntu 18.04 (has been a problem
for a while) when using "open with" on the .deb package from Thunar
(right mouse menu). If I start gdebi-gtk from the command line and use
the "file open" menu option then everything works ok.
I will dig through my logs for more info.
This system is a fresh install of 18.04 Gdebi was the 5th package
installed after (gnumeric, gppoder, synaptic, vlc).
