Description of problem: I have noticed that remote-viewer isn't getting automatically run when I try to bring up a virtual desktop from the RHEV User Portal with the Epiphany web browser. Instead, the downloaded vv file is opened in gedit. I have found that when I run the following command, the console.vv file gets opened in gedit instead of remote-viewer. xdg-open console.vv Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-viewer-0.5.7-1.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download a console.vv file from the RHEV User Portal by attempting to open a SPICE console in Native Mode. 2. Run the command "xdg-open console.vv" on the file that was just downloaded. Actual results: The console.vv file is opened with gedit. Expected results: The console.vv file should be opened with remote-viewer.
As was suggested on IRC, I ran the following command and the problem went away. su -c "update-mime-database /usr/share/mime"
