possibly a dup of 212764, does "update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" as root fix it?

What is the best preocedure to ensure that the files in $USER $HOME are also updated or which ones to manually remove in $HOME to test ensure further
I'm not sure what you mean.
(In reply to comment #6) > I'm not sure what you mean. > Alex, I mean that what files in a users home directory I should also remove or update to ensure that the system wide configuration is in effect and is working fine, e.g: ./.local/share/mime ./.local/share/mime/mime.cache ./.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
Ah, removing everying in .local/share/mime (or temporarily moving it) should be enough.
I have problem with ooo documents default action mime type. Nutilus update correctly when icon isn't selected. When it's selected the mime type change to application/x-java-archive and default action doesn't work.
I had been migarating my office setup from RHEL4 to FC6 on a newly assigned system and this issue reprodued. I tried above discuessed workarouds and "update-mime-database /usr/share/mime" helped. But I realized that the issue effected all users system wide, even one of the users data was moved on to this new setup from another FC6, where this issue re-produced after installing google-earth, I believe this to be "NotABug"
Are you saying you believe google-earth caused this problem?
