Package: xdg-utils Version: 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
After doing this: xdg-mime default okular.desktop application/pdf to make Okular my default application, xdg-open did not use okular (it fell back to gnome's pdf viewer). Running update-desktop-database did not solve the problem. I think xdg-open was not able to find the relevant okular.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/.kde4. Copying the desktop file like this cp /usr/share/applications/kde4/okular.desktop /usr/share/applications fixed the problem in this case, but I take it a proper fix would allow xdg-open to "see" all desktop files within /usr/share/applications/kde4 . -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) xdg-utils depends on no packages.
