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.

oh
I also met this problem yesterday,and I don't remember what I did .
Now it works well useing the way you mentioned.
But I think it is not a good way to solve this problem.
Probably we should modify the file locate ~/.local/share/applications/x-extension-pdf.xml
but I don't know how do deal with it .
the problem is your package.
the problem is your package. there's something wrong with the way the evince-gtk package handles pdfs... remove it and install the normal evince package. works! launchpad bug reference
