Bug#1005818: task-lxde-desktop: libreoffice is used as default pdf reader
Package: task-lxde-desktop
Version: 3.68
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: andreas@an3as.eu
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
On a fresh installation of bullseye libreoffice is started when clicking
on a pdf file.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried to adjust "Default applications for LXDE Session" in the
configuration setting. Unfortunately nearly all settings are
set to "disabled" and I can not change anything here.
I also tried to change manually the following:
~$ diff -u .config/lxsession-default-apps/settings.conf_save .config/lxsession-default-apps/settings.conf

I did also another attempt via mime settings:
$ cat /etc/mailcap.order
###############################################################################
#
# Mailcap.order: This file allows a system-wide override of MIME program
# preferences. See the mailcap.order(5) man page for more information.
#
# After modifying this file, be sure to run /usr/sbin/update-mime (as root)
# to propagate the changes into the /etc/mailcap file.
#
################################################################################
evince:image/pdf
evince:application/pdf
* What was the outcome of this action?
No change after editing the user config file neither editing
/etc/mailcap.order and running update-mime afterwards.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expect a sensible, quickly starting pdf viewer as default - for
example evince as I tried to add.
Kind regards
Andreas.
