Dear all, Currently running Ubuntu Karmic - upgraded from 9.04 las friday, and I have been attempting to get the mime types to work again, so for anyone else out there who has just upgraded and wants to get this rather annoying issue fixed here is what I did.
download an 'old' version of pcmanfm that works, here is a link http://www.2shared.com/file/8810097/8692f477/pcmanfm_052-1_i386.html then once downloaded use [code] sudo dpkg -i pcmanfm_052-1_i386.deb [/code] to install it, then log out then log back in, and now the mime types are back. Thanks to lazarev on the ubuntu forums who put up this solution which worked for me (here is the thread.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1301208 ) At the top of this page it says that a fix has been implemented, and the SRU was created by Julien (back in December 2009). However either it seems not to have been added to karmic for upgrades or as an update - at least the upgrade lost all the mime type associations when I did it last week (15 october 2010). I hope the above can help someone else out. As always thanks go to the Ubuntu and Debian guys for creating a highly usable, stable linux system.
