Bug Description
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
SRU explanation :
1. This bug prevent users from launching directly the pdf viewer when clicking on a pdf file on Lubuntu, because the default pdf viewer is set for epdview, the previous pdf viewer installed by default. The new one is evince.
2. The bug was fixed on revision 0.13 on natty, replacing epdfview.desktop by evince.desktop on default.list
3. Patch is on revision 92 of the lubuntu-
4. TEST CASE: start a fresh install of Lubuntu, try to launch a pdf file by clicking on it, nothing should happen.
5. I can't see any regression possible.
On Lubuntu 10.10 Beta 2, when I download a pdf file in Chromium, then click on it to open it up, the pdf is being redirected back to Chromium instead of the pdf viewer.
This results in Chromium "downloading" the pdf again, this time from the user's Downloads directory. It creates another copy of the file with "(1)" appended to the filename.
Not sure if this is happening with other file types or not, have only seen it with pdf files.

- Chromium browser redirects downloaded pdf files back to itself + Wrong pdf viewer set by default on Lubuntu settings |

added: verification-done removed: verification-needed |
tags: | added: testcase |
Please paste the results of the following commands:
/usr/bin/xdg-mime query default application/pdf chromium- browser/ xdg-mime query default application/pdf
/usr/lib/
(both should return the desktop file of your preferred pdf viewer)
if it's ok, maybe the mime type is wrong:
try:
xdg-mime query filetype /name/of/ one/of/ your.pdf
it should say "application/pdf"
