From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: I wanted to open real media files in nautilus. It asked me to associate a program. I get to a file association menu. I browse to realplay. Klick ok. And try to open. No deal. Do it again but check run in terminal and it remembers the program associated with .rm format. Problem is I don't want a terminal opening every time I play a file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download realplayer8 2. click on a *rm file 3. Try and associate the file to realplay with and without checking the run terminal check box in file association menu Actual Results: Without checking run in terminal no program is associated. With run in terminal progam associated with filetype. Expected Results: Without checking run in terminal the program should be associated with the file type. Additional info:
I couldn't reproduce this when playing with other apps. But i see all sorts of problems with realplayer on the beta.
Hmmm. It seems realplayer requires LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to run with a NPTL kernel/libc.
I get this problem too, nautilus keeps forgetting the file associations I added. I edited all the video files (.mpeg, .mpg, .wma, etc.) but it always will forget them after a few minutes.
I didn't notice this, but I am running 9 as opposed to 8.0.
I believe this is fixes at least in fc3, since the way this is handled was totally redone.
