After running sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
my gnome doesn't recognize any file types anymore. In Nautilus all files are now text/plain type
and all now open with gedit by default. Gnome-commander does the same.
I guess that it's not that file associations are broken but rather file type recognition problem.
Tried to (not in that order):
- rerun
update-mime-database
several times - reinstal package
gnome-mime-data
- delete
~/.local/share/applications/*
- logout and login many times
- reboot
Nothing helped so far.
My system:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)
Gnome 2.30.2
