Evince problem in Ubuntu Dapper

Mon, 2006-06-05 21:22 — Nilesh

I had a problem with Evince not being able to read PDF's. I was getting this error:

Unhandled MIME type: 'application/x-extension-pdf'

From what I read here there is a problem with files in /usr/share/mime not being readable, so I corrected that (sudo chmod -R +r /usr/share/mime) and it works now. I also deleted ~/.local/share/mime just in case.
