Hmmm, we may be getting somewhere, got an error when I typed that command, then it launched chromium. However if I use the file manager (PCManFM) to open a pdf it opens correctly.
Here's the output I got, not sure if the "Registration failed" messages are related to this problem or just some other warning chromium is printing out. Apparently the .desktop file for the pdf viewer is missing: kj4...@nano:~$ xdg-open Downloads/VX-2R.pdf Warning: unknown mime-type for "/usr/share/applications/epdfview.desktop" -- using "application/octet-stream" Error: no such file "/usr/share/applications/epdfview.desktop" [1526:1553:81264160:ERROR:chrome/browser/sync/notifier/registration_manager.cc(127)] Registration failed with code: 12 [1526:1553:81264391:ERROR:chrome/browser/sync/notifier/registration_manager.cc(127)] Registration failed with code: 12 [1526:1553:81264560:ERROR:chrome/browser/sync/notifier/registration_manager.cc(127)] Registration failed with code: 12 [1526:1553:81264715:ERROR:chrome/browser/sync/notifier/registration_manager.cc(127)] Registration failed with code: 12 [1526:1553:81264853:ERROR:chrome/browser/sync/notifier/registration_manager.cc(127)] Registration failed with code: 12 [1526:1553:81264990:ERROR:chrome/browser/sync/notifier/registration_manager.cc(127)] Registration failed with code: 12 [1526:1553:81265190:ERROR:chrome/browser/sync/notifier/registration_manager.cc(127)] Registration failed with code: 12 [1526:1553:81265340:ERROR:chrome/browser/sync/notifier/registration_manager.cc(127)] Registration failed with code: 12 -- Chromium browser redirects downloaded pdf files back to itself https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/657335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
