Can you confirm please? In order to make my hack work I have to change that to dbus-switchboard.

Also, if I apt-get purge dbus-switchboard, things get normal again and jpg get opened by the image-viewer. So it must be dbus-switchboard that directs them to the browser.

Oh, I also have hildon-browser.desktop:X-Osso-URI-Action-Open in the URI tab, but in the defaults list, half of the image entries are hildon-image-viewer.desktop (in particular jpeg) and the others hildon-browser.desktop.

Thanks qole,

With yours instructions I managed to open ".txt" files with Leafpad.

With ".rtf" problem still exists because the line under "Defaults" was already green. Actually under "Defaults" I have only entry "text/dbs-rtf" which was already set to "hildon-dbus-switchboard.desktop", but I don't have entry "application/rtf".

I also opened file "user-mimetypes.list" (/usr/lib/dbus-switchboard/) with Leafpad and there I found "application/rtf=none". Should be "none" OK for this one?

Qole, thank you for directing to this thread. I installed DBus-Switchboard config but it keep crushing even after reboot. Went through whole thread but couldn't find how to fix it. Probably missed something im kind of new to this...

ed00: can you please enter the following long and complicated command at the terminal and post the results:

Code:

sudo /usr/bin/run-standalone.sh /usr/bin/dbus-switchboard-gui

ed00:
You should not be asked for a password for that command...

gain root and try the command without the "sudo" at the beginning.

If that works, then run the following:

Code:

update-sudoers

Then leave root terminal and try the sudo command again.

If it doesn't work, then your install must be broken. As root, try:

Code:

apt-get install dbus-switchboard

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to set up FeedingIt application as the default rss feed handler.

In the Defaults section, I've set the application/news_reader entry to the bright green setting, and have added a new FeedingIt hander with the parameter %params% (i'm not sure if this is correct)

I then set up a Xref entry for both .rss and news_reader as FeedingIt and have re-booted. But then when I try to subscribe to a new feed on MicroB a yellow banner comes up saying opening FeedingIt but nothing happens.

Any help would be appreciated.

Sash: It sounds like dbus-switchboard is working; it is attempting to open FeedingIt, but something isn't quite right in the invocation.

Open a terminal and run dbus-switchboard.py and see what messages you get when you open a newsfeed.

Okay, now when I click on save newsfeed in MicroB it launches FeedingIt but it doesn't open the option to save a newsfeed, i.e it just opens the application, as if I clicked it from the menu.

Here is the output I get from Terminal:

Code:

$ dbus-switchboard.py
