[SOLVED] Gnome Custom menu bar, in places try to open bookmarked locations with VLC

nardev · 11-30-2011, 12:22 AM

Hello,

I use "A custom menu bar" in gnome, the one that looks like:
[Applications | Places | System] and when i try to open some of bookmarked locations ex. "Places > Home Folder" It tries to open it with VLC instead of nautilus.

How can i fix that?

I tried re-install, i erased "menu" folder from .config etc. but nothing works...

PLS Help.

Run the following for me, and post the contents of the file, using code tags:

Code:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

Cheers,

Josh

Not a problem!

Here is a reference thread from in the past - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...efault-906155/
Once again, seems this is a common bug. I still wonder what causes it..... Well anyways, glad you got it figured out on your own

Cheers,

Josh
