All my fix does is change the 'MimeType=' entry to 'X-XFCE-MimeType=' (in the 3 files: /usr/share/applications/exo-file-manager.desktop, /usr/share/applications/exo-mail-reader.desktop , /usr/share/applications/exo-web-browser.desktop)
Since you have already used the broken 'exo-preferred-applications', probably it has put some wrong entries into your: ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list So do: grep 'exo' ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and if it finds any such entries, please open that file and delete them manually, save the file and then do: update-desktop-database That (deleting the entries in mimeapps.list + installing my PPA's exo- utils) should fix everything. So my fix is a kinda preventing users that never started 'exo-preferred-applications'.... If they had already used it, a manual delete of all exo entries in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list is needed and then update of desktop database... And please never use Nautilus for opening files from command line... It will not open them... It opens only folders... Use gnome-open, xdg-open, exo-open or kde-open (best choice is xdg-open that is a desktop sensitive open application) instead.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/751374 Title: Dash won't open files anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/exo/+bug/751374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
