This is still the case in Lucid. Google Chrome uses xdg-open, which in turn relies on /etc/mailcap, which doesn't know about acroread.
Please include /usr/lib/mime/packages/acroread. Workaround: create the file manually, it should read application/pdf; /usr/bin/acroread '%s'; test=test "$DISPLAY" != ""; description=Portable Document Format; nametemplate=%s.pdf; priority=7 Then run sudo update-mime. You may also wish to also edit /etc/mailcap.order -- Karmic acroread does not become the default PDF handler for email even after answering "Yes" to the debconf question https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/482533 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
