Ubuntu :: Applications Ignoring Mime Types?

May 24, 2011

Files downloaded with Firefox, Chromium, Miro etc. will not open correctly. Clicking to open the file (e.g. jpg or ogg) should result in the file opening with eog or audacious. Results - from Nautilus this works correctly, however from other applications the result is a Nautilus window. Placing a file 'test.torrent' on the desktop and using terminal to do

Code:
gnome-open test.torrent
or
Code:
xdg-open test.torrent
results in the same behaviour. However, simply clicking the file in Nautilus opens it in Deluge (correct behaviour).

Ubuntu :: Can't Edit Mime Types In Thunderbird

Feb 18, 2010

associate html attachment in emails with Firefox and tried to edit mime type extensions in Thunderbird through Edit/Preferences/Attachments/Download Actions/View & Edit Actions but it is empty and there is no way to add extensions there. Is there a different way to do it? I tried to choose Firefox while opening the attachment. It works but does not remember it for further actions.

Ubuntu :: MIME Types Setup For Apache / MediaWiki

Jan 28, 2010

I'm trying on getting the MIME types setup correctly for Apache/MediaWiki. I think I've modified every config file known to man to no avail. Here's some info on what I've got going on. I'm trying to get the Office 2007 MIME types configured for MediaWiki 1.14 so that we can upload/download the files. Out of frustration/lack of need I went the less secure route and I modified the LocalSettings.php config file to disable MIME type verification for uploads.

Code:
$wgVerifyMimeType = false;

This works great for the uploads, and I can upload .DOCX, .XLSX, and .PPTX all day long, however when downloading them, they download as a .ZIP file with all the XML info inside of it. No biggie for me personally as I can just rename .ZIP to .DOCX and it works fine, however for the average user it's not going to fly. So, I figured that MIME types would be the source of my pain and started doing some research.

I have modified the following config files to include the MIME types listed below.
/etc/mime.types
/var/www/.htaccess (created to try and force them)
/var/www/mediawiki-1.14.0/.htaccess (created to try and force them)
/var/www/mediawiki-1.14.0/includes/mime.types

Code:
application/vnd.ms-word.document.macroEnabled.12 .docm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document docx
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.template dotx
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.template.macroEnabled.12 potm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.template potx
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.addin.macroEnabled.12 ppam
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.slideshow.macroEnabled.12 ppsm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.slideshow ppsx
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint.presentation.macroEnabled.12 pptm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation pptx
application/vnd.ms-excel.addin.macroEnabled.12 xlam
application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.binary.macroEnabled.12 xlsb
application/vnd.ms-excel.sheet.macroEnabled.12 xlsm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet xlsx
application/vnd.ms-excel.template.macroEnabled.12 xltm
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template xltx
It doesn't seem to matter where I put the code, I can't get the MIME types to register with Apache/MediaWiki.

Software :: Wine Set It As Default Handler For Many Mime-types?

Dec 24, 2010

I don't have wine installed. But I use teamviewer [URL] to remote support my friends. Teamviewer provide an "linux version" using wine wrapper. Every time I run it, some mime types such as .jpg, .wmv, .txt, .ini, v.v... was set to be handle by a "A Wine application". So, nothing happen when I open those file, I have to reset their handler to proper linux application.

1. How can I completely remove those "A wine application" handler? Is there a tool, or a settings applet in gnome that allow me to do that. Currently, I have to find those files in nautilus, right click and change the open with settings, that's frustrated.

2. Can I lock mime type handling settings from being changed by some application? Or even lock it from any changed at all? I don't mind remove the write permission from some settings file, I won't likely to change my current mime type handling settings in near future.

Ubuntu :: Edit Mime Types To Remove A File Type Association?

Oct 30, 2010

I installed a trial copy of Anquet Map V06 under Wine then decided to remove it. Afterwards I could find many remnants associated with the Anquet program which I've deleted. Except what remains is an association between my .gpx files with Anquet and that includes and any new gpx file I download. My interpretation is that during the install process an association has been created with the gpx file type and the Anquet map program. This is what I want to stop. If I download a .gpx file and look at it's properties I see- Type: GPX File -Anquet Mapsv06 (application/x-wine-extension-gpx) I found this file and it's contents-

/.local/share/mime/application/x-wine-extension-gpx.xml
<mime-type type="application/x-wine-extension-gpx">

<!--

[code]....

Running "sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" and rebooting didn't remove the association. How can I stop the Anquet name making as association with my gpx files?

Debian Multimedia :: Freedekstop MIME Types Versus Update Alternatives

Aug 15, 2010

I would like to know if there exists an article explaining how update-alternatives integrates with Freedesktop.org MIME. How do these systems coexist? How do they cooperate? Lately KDE and GNOME apps seemed to agree on default applications more and more; it seems there still exists an ordering problem [URL] , section Default application ordering), but things are generally working.

However, now I notice that some applications (which I've known for a long time to not be very Linux desktop friendly, I'm looking at Mozilla first, but this time I can't blame them without reason) use some totally different system, Alternatives. The example that comes to mind now is Icedove. Is there going to be a consensus on the default system or we'le have different applications using different systems?

OpenSUSE :: Sound Works Only For Some Types Of Applications?

Mar 9, 2010

I have used it for some times but never went behind basic use to use Internet, save files, write documents with OpenOffice...

I just installed the 11.2 version in 64-bit. I previously used a 11.1 version, and on which sounds worked fine.

I do get the login and logout jingle, and CDs play fine as well.

My problem occurs when I try to watch a video on Internet, so with FlashPlayer, and also when using Skype: I get neither the notification sounds, and a test call tells me I have a problem with the audio device.

When I point my cursor on the "sound" icon on my control board, it tells me the sound is at 0% even though it works for the above-listed tasks.

Here is what my computer has (from "system configuration"), including the last two lines I get when I click the "advanced" option:

HDA VIA VT82xx (VT1708 Analog)
HDA VIA VT82xx (VT1708 Digital)
HDA ATI HDMI, ATI HDMI (HDMI audio output)
PulseAudio
HDA ATI HDMI, ATI HDMI
HDA VIA VT82xx, VT1708 Digital(IEC958(S/PDIF) Digital audio output)

Everything has this same preset configuration: notifications, video, etc.

Fedora :: Changing Associated Applications To File Types?

Apr 17, 2009

What file where holds the information for file opening application preferences?

I have Fedora Core 10 (2.6.27.5) with openoffice 3.0 installed.All of the OpenOffice programs show in Applications>Office drop down window and work fine.

Problem is this: If I double click on a calc spreadsheet file (.ods) then the archive manager wants to open it, and I have to right click and manually select scalc as the program to use. If I double click on an odt text file (.odt), okular opens it. I have to right click and select swriter.

If -- BTW -- I click on an excel (.xls) file, calc will start and open the file.

I would like to change these file application preferences, but can't find where to do it or what file to edit to break the current preferences.

Server :: Technology For Detecting Types Of Traffic And Allowing To Run Multiple Types?

Apr 9, 2011

I would like port 80 to have a small daemon running on it that detects HTTP traffic and sends a small redirect response, and any other traffic begins streaming data from my VPN daemon. I was wondering if this has already been made, or any kind of technology for detecting types of traffic and allowing you to run multiple types of servers on the same port.

Programming :: Conflicting Type Declarations Between Sys/types.h And Linux/types.h

Sep 12, 2010

I'm trying to use "netlink" to get ip address of a Linux box. But the linux/types.h included from "linux/rtnetlink.h" introduced many conflicting type declarations with "sys/types.h".

#include <rtnetlink.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
return 0;
}

The program will demonstrate such type conflicts.

Software :: Gnome With Associated Applications For Registered File Types / Cant See Apps From "open With" Menu When Right Click To A File?

Oct 6, 2010

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome 2.30.

I remove the applications which i don't use from main-menu. Now i can not see them from "open with" menu when i right click to a file.

Also it will be very nice if Ubuntu can show me on the "open with" menu the possibilities of applications which can open properly the file type which i want to open. I try to configure with ubuntu-tweak's "file type manager" but it is not possible to configure all of file types. I think Ubuntu's applications must to know which applications has to show for which file types. And i don't know how to do that. I need an application like this : url

I get a new user from the same OS, and i see that the same problem still there... For example many many compressed files, audio or graphic files are not associated with vlc or gimp.

I try to configure from system files of gnome but it is very complicated.

Ubuntu :: Grsync - Filtering File Types / Getting Only Some File Types Getting Included And Not Others?

Sep 1, 2011

I'm using Grsync and I want to be able to plug in any drive into my laptop and run rsync on it to back up all the user documents on there to another external hdd and to exclude everything else. Working on the principle that user documents don't always appear where we'd expect I want rsync to look through the whole drive and filter what it backs up by file type. I am only having partial success, however.

I am using the 'filter' option in the 'additional options' box. I am using the command
Code:
filter='merge /home/tim/Desktop/filter'
and I am attaching the filter file I have written. (I have added the .txt extention to upload it).

I have tested this script on my home folder and here's what's going wrong. Rsync will copy the entire directory structure regardless of whether there are any files to be copied over in those directories. I am also getting only some file types getting included and not others. .odt and .ods files are copied, for instance, but not .doc or .rtf.

Ubuntu :: Script To Rename File Based On Mime Type?

Jan 9, 2011

I have a folder containing the output from Windows XP "File and Settings Transfer Wizard" - the folder refuses to be imported into any flavour of Windows and the original windows system is no more - so I found a little program called fastconv [URL] which extracted all the files but fails to rename them - been working on this solidly for 3 days now, there are 47,000 files in 20gb, so naturally the customer is very concerned.

I noticed that Ubuntu cleverly recognises the type of file, assuming its looking at the contents of the file rather than the extension.

Is there any way I can automatically rename the files based on the mime type?

Server :: 8-bit-mime Apparently Not Being Advertised By SMTP?

Jan 5, 2010

I have a user that is reporting the following error on a bounced message:

Quote:

smtp;554 5.6.1 Body type not supported by Remote Host

He is forwarding emails from his exchange server to a recipient in Germany relaying through our smtp server using Surgemail as the MTA.

He called a senior tech specialist at Microsoft to get help thinking the problem was on his end (exchange server). According to this "specialist", he said the problem was that our smtp server was not advertising 8BitMIME in its 250 statement. I tested this myself by log in on to the smtp server and doing typing the following:

Code:
EHLO localhost
250-smtp.<mycompanyname>.com. Hello localhost (127.0.0.1)
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-DSN

[Code]....

As you can see, 250-8BITMIME is not listed here. From the bit of research I made, I found that most MTAs send this by default. Is it possible that the characters from the German language are causing this problem?

NOTE: This problem did not exist or was never reported until now. No one has made any changes on any settings on the server.

Programming :: Get Program Based On Mime-type In C

Feb 10, 2010

I need to launch programs in my program and the program can be a script, a Linux executable or even a Windows executable. The first thing i tried is to use xdg-open from my program, but i can't pass arguments to it, otherwise it would have worked perfectly. Is there maybe a way to determine which program is set as default according to the mime-type of the program i want to launch? I also tried kfmclient and gnome-open, they don't allow arguments either.

Ubuntu :: GTK Apps Ignoring Chosen GTK Theme?

Nov 28, 2009

Since this morning, in a normal Gnome session, all of my GTK apps, menus and icons (except, oddly for the Gnome panel) are using the same drab and boring style that they use when they're running as root. Which they're not.No one else uses this computer, and I've made no changes to any GTK-based or affecting settings, except to try to change the GTK controls, with no effect at all. So I cannot understand why this is happening.

Slackware :: Mime Type Associations For Office Files

Oct 22, 2009

I installed MS office 2003 via wine on Slackware 13. I need to know how to associate files with the right Office (msword, msexcel, msppt) program. I made launcher scripts that can launches office files from the CL, but the user on this computer will want to be able to just double click a file in dolphin and have the right office program come up.For some reason all office files show up as x-ole-storage instead of application/msword or something similar. So, even if I tell Excel to associate with that file, it will do it for Word and PowerPoint files as well.

.ppt, .doc, and .xls extensions were configured via the KDE file associations panel, but this did not help. I played around with the raw files under ~/.local/share, but I did not find the solution.The version of WINE is 1.1.24 (built from SBo SlackBuild).
