My system is running fine as far as I can tell, but reading a msg in |
| 2 |
this group raised my curiosity about update-desktop-database. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
When I do I get dozens of lines of applications lacking a MimeType key. |
| 5 |
Here are the first few. |

Search path is now: [/usr/local/share/applications, /usr/share/applications] |
| 9 |
Could not create cache file in directory '/usr/local/share/applications': |
| 10 |
Error opening directory '/usr/local/share/applications': No such file or directory |
| 11 |
File '/usr/share/applications/gksu.desktop' lacks MimeType key |
| 12 |
File '/usr/share/applications/yelp.desktop' lacks MimeType key |
| 13 |
File '/usr/share/applications/reclevel.desktop' lacks MimeType key |
| 14 |
File '/usr/share/applications/meld.desktop' lacks MimeType key |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I googled but only found msgs where things were failing. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Should I be concerned about the lack of MimeType keys and if so what |
| 19 |
should I do about it. |
