By the end of the previous comment I had experienced a weird bug. But I
decided to post it here as a separate comment because this is still
relevant to this thread.
I resolved the issues by:
1. changing the default player
2. opening a PDF document that contains a link to a local video
3. clicking the link to the video (and failing to open)
4. closing evince and opening the same document again
5. clicking the link to the video again (and succeeding this time)
I had to reproduce those steps for both totem and for vlc, ... but now,
everything just works!
After that initial hurdle, changing default players results in opening
the correct default video player.
I'm not really sure what happened, but the issue just fixed itself.
There are still some odd messages in the kernel log (see attached file).
I don't know if this is reproducible elsewhere, or if this bug should be
marked as resolved or not, as I'm way past due to do a clean install of
the newest Ubuntu:
rolandog@computer:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 20.10
Release: 20.10
rolandog@computer:~$ apt-cache policy evince
evince:
Installed: 3.38.0-1
Candidate: 3.38.0-1
Version table:
*** 3.38.0-1 500
500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I hope this helps out someone getting unexpected behavior.
