Hggdh, mcrha helped me again today, we found out that gnomevfs-info 123.xls was responding with an empty mime-type for some reason. We came up with a fix which I tested in 8 machines here and it fixed the problem in all of them:
1)mv ~/.mime.types ~/.mime.types.bkp 2)sudo mv /etc/mime.types /etc/mime.types.bkp 3)sudo mv /usr/share/mime.cache /usr/share/mime.cache.bkp 4)Reboot 5)All icons will be messed up. Right click any .xls file, select "Open with another application", Select OpenOffice Calc. Do the same with .doc and .ppt file. 6)Reboot. All icons still messed up. sudo /usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime 7)Reboot. Fixed! All MS-Office files have correct mime types according to gnomevfs-info and can be attached to evo. I have no idea why mime types were misconfigured, I am sure it probably is not a good idea to remove mime.types from $home and /etc, also I am sure I should have repeated Step 5 for many other extensions... But hey, it's a start :) Regards, Effenberg Regards, Effenberg -- Evolution 2.21.92 (hardy) crashes when attaching MS-Office files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195788 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
