I tried gvfs-open now, and it worked and opened acroread. My bug-report originally comes from trying xdg-open, which in turn execs gnome-open. After installing gvfs-bin, xdg-open still execs gnome-open, so xdg-open still fails.
Adding xdg-utils to the bug. ** Also affects: xdg-utils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gnome-open incorrectly uses eince to open pdf files even after I select Acroread as the default handler in nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
