I managed to break it again. Here are the steps: 1. Delete "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list". 2. Set VLC as default player for .avi files through nautilus. 3. Goto System Settings -> Details -> Default applications and set VLC player to open video files. 4. Go back to nautilus and try to change default application for .avi files. Get the bug.
It's worth noting that "~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list" is updated in step 4, but changes do not work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280794 Title: Can't change default "Open with" application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1280794/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
