gnome 2.8 mime associations
Hello, I just installed gnome 2.8 from the marcuscom.com tinderbox, and everything is great and neat, except mimes are completely broken. I reinstalled gnome-mime from ports, latest nautilus. The gnome-vfs from the tinderbox is the latest. Apparantely gnome control center from the tinderbox does not come with the capplet for manually setting mimes. The mimes in /usr/X11R6/share.. appear to be allright, i tried copying them in the $HOME/.gnome/mime-info/ dir but without effect. So not only that all mimes are broken, but I also can't add them manually. (or i did it in the wrong way by using vi) If would really appreciate if anyone knows some possible fix for this and shares it with me. Thanks a lot for your time.

You need to provide more details than simply saying something is broken. Provide screenshots, expected behavior, files in question, and steps to reproduce.

I really appreciate the fact that I can install gnome 2.8 because of your work, instead of waiting the ports freeze. Maybe I did something wrong here. Nautilus is unable to open any sort of files, because "there is no application associated with this file type". This include text files, pictures, and even directories. It can't open simple directories, it gives the same error. I run FreeBSD 4.10 as desktop. For example, when I click the homedir icon on my desktop, it sais "There is no action associated with "bu".", and bu is my username. The same window provides a button for "Associate Application", but clicking on it makes the window vanish, and nothing happens (because the applet which is called when this button is pushed, is not found. I found it in the gnome 2.6 port source, as a tool in sysutils/gnome-control-center, but nowhere else in the filesystem.) Here's a sample error: (nautilus:332): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. (nautilus:332): Eel-WARNING **: Error starting command 'gnome-file-types-properties 'x-directory/normal' 'Pseudo'': Failed to execute child process "gnome-file-types-properties" (No such file or directory) (nautilus:332): Bonobo-WARNING **: Leaked a total of 1 refs to 1 bonobo object(s) Thanks for your hard work, Marcus, and again, I appologise if I managed to offend you. If I shall make snapshots, I believe it is not proper to submit them on the list, so please let me know, and thanks for your time again.

Re: gnome 2.8 mime associations
Ok, here is a snapshot. Expected result is how it is showed on the gnome website, and the real-result is how it is showed on my desktop. I got this by right-clicking a .PDF file, then selecting properties. Looks to me that my "Open With" tab is missing. PS: the files might get filtered by mailman.

By mistake, my mistake, parts of the gnome packages were still from 2.6.x version.. including Nautilus.. this caused everything related to mime problems..
