Brian: surprisingly, after upgrading my Jaunty today, now I can see the Open with Adobe Reader 9 option in the right-click menu of any PDF document o_O.

Re: [Bug 378135] Re: acroread 9 from jaunty's partner repository doesn't associate itself with PDF mime-types
Oh oh oh it's magic, ya know :-) I have a feeling one of the mimetype libraries had a bug in it. We'll be updating to 9.1.2 soon, and will definitely be looking more closely to make sure this problem doesn't resurface in our tests. Many thanks for the feedback.

Thank you very much for your attention and work, Brian! FYR, I forgot to say: in addition to the system update I mentioned before, I upgraded to OpenOffice.org 3.1.0 using the packages from openoffice-pkg's PPA in Launchpad: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/openoffice-pkgs/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main rica...@kadath:~$ apt-cache policy openoffice.org openoffice.org: Installed: 1:3.1.0-3ubuntu2~jaunty1 Candidate: 1:3.1.0-3ubuntu2~jaunty1 Version table: *** 1:3.1.0-3ubuntu2~jaunty1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.0.1-9ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages But I don't know if this could be related with the issue.

Hi Ricardo, Yes, I have enough information, but I'm unable to reproduce... Adobe claims they saw the behavior on 8.10 and 8.04 but not on Jaunty. I tested on intrepid and it worked fine too.

Thanks for your comment. Do you see an Open with Adobe Reader option when you right-click on any PDF document?

[Bug 378135] Re: acroread 9 from jaunty's partner repository doesn't associate itself with PDF mime-types
Hi, The reason you may be experiencing different behavior in the DEB downloaded from Adobe and the one provided via the Partner repository: PATH=$ReadInstallDir/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin:$PATH xdg- mime default AdobeReader.desktop $i /dev/null 21 We intentionally commented this out because it updates /usr/share/applications/defaults.list setting acroread as the default file handler. On Ubuntu systems, /usr/share/applications/defaults.list is a symlink to /etc/gnome/defaults.list and is handled by package management. This tool removes that symlink and places a regular file in its place breaking updates via package management. This is why it was intentionally removed. However, we did create a debconf setting that allows this to be done automatically for you. So my questions are: 1.) Did you receive the debconf question to set acroread as your default PDF handler? 2.) Did you choose Yes? 3.) Is /usr/share/applications/defaults.list a symlink to /etc/gnome/defaults.list on your system? 4.) Does /etc/gnome/defaults.list contain an entry for acroread? If you answered yes to all of these questions then there is a bug indeed. On my system and on those of QA when we tested this, this feature worked fine. After seeing this bug, Adobe tested and found no issues themselves on 9.04 but did on other distributions. This brings me to another question: 1.) Did you upgrade to 9.04 from another Ubuntu build?

[Bug 378135] Re: acroread 9 from jaunty's partner repository doesn't associate itself with PDF mime-types
Thanks for the reply, Brian. As you said, I had a /usr/share/applications/defaults.list file, so I just do the following: 1. sudo aptitude purge adobereader-enu 2. sudo rm /usr/share/applications/defaults.list 3. sudo ln -sf /etc/gnome/defaults.list /usr/share/applications/defaults.list 4. sudo aptitude install acroread (from partner) - I choose No to the debconf question, because I DON'T want Adobe Reader to be my default PDF handler. 5. Log out and then log into GNOME. However, after following the above steps, the problem is still here: I can't select Adobe Reader when I right-click on a PDF document to open with it. To be precise: I don't want acroread to be my default PDF handler, but I want GNOME let me to select acroread to open the PDF files I select (using the currently-missing Open with Adobe Reader option of the PDF- file right-click menu). I hope I have explained me better.
