[Bug 592834] New: gnome mime database broken - all files shown as "plain text document"
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=592834 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=592834#c0 Summary: gnome mime database broken - all files shown as "plain text document" Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: drankinatty@suddenlinkmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100317 SUSE/3.6.2-1.2 Firefox/3.6.2 Something has screwed up the mime database in gnome so that now gnome things all documents are "plain text document" mime types. I have tried 'update-mime-database /usr/share/mime' and it returned the following errors: [14:50 alchemy:/home/david/dt/gnome/themes/new] # update-mime-database -V /usr/share/mime Updating MIME database in /usr/share/mime...

Well maybe not. Something has totally broken the gnome mime database. Here are screenshots of nautilus showing the problem: http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/gnome/all-plain-text-document.jpg http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/bugs/gnome/all-plain-text-document1.jpg Needless to say, trying to launch or preview anything from a filemanager in gnome fails miserably. Right now, everything tries to open as a "Karbon 14" file.... Let me know if I can send anything else or run any more tests for you. I'm happy to do it. Thanks.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in openSUSE since the time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a current, supported openSUSE version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly reopen this bug and move it to the tested version of openSUSE. Truly yours. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
