This bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168051 seem to reappear in FC6. This time it's even more annoying that each time after reboot it lost the association.
I had faced this issue while using FC5 and this remains true for FC6
"sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" still fixes it? I think the problem is in some other package that overwrites the mime stuff. We need to figure out what package that is.
yes, the same fix still work..... but I got one instance that the problem reoccuring after each reboot. I have re-install from scratch since, so no idea what went wrong.....
very strange, anyone seeing this, try to track down what damaged the mime files.
One thing I notice on my current install is after the recent update of Nautilus. The problem occurred, I fixed it with manually running pdate-mime-database /usr/share/mime and the problem fix. I think the RPM need to have a post install action of running this???
nautilus has in %post: %{_bindir}/update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime &> /dev/null
hum... interesting.... but yet I saw it corrupt after upgrade.....
I just encounter this problem again after applied a bunch of updates..... update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications fixed the problem. I don't have the list of rpm applied....
seeing the same issue, but neither update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications nor update-mime-database /usr/share/mime helps
actually, since the last problem I encounter (about a week). The mimetype for ods file (for OpenOffice) seem to be broken since.... no icon for the filetype even I run these 2 commands......
