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. Thanks in advance. -- acroread 9 from jaunty's partner repository doesn't associate itself with PDF mime-types https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378135 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
