[SOLVED] MIME editing of wine entries

archman-cro · 2010-05-23 10:16:54

I installed some M$ Office 2003, but it was a Portuguese version, and now I get this:
(erm, broken link...nvm)
(For powerpoint, it's "Assistente do Microsoft PowerPoint")
WM is Openbox, FM is Thunar and the latest wine. It shows similar stuff for other M$ Office documents too. I have removed that Office version, btw.

How can I fix this? I want it to read it in English, or turn it off, or something - everything except this Portuguese stuff.

Found a solution - editing /home/user/.local/share/mime/application/ msaccess.xml, msword.xml, vnd.ms-excel.xml etc etc files.

Erm, update: After rebooting it went back to the old entry. Obviously cause it reads "Created automatically by update-mime-database. DO NOT EDIT!" in those files.
Anyone knows anything about it?

Should I ask this in a wine forum, maybe? (Don't want to register there if someone here can help me...)

I have fixed this problem with following commands:

find ~/.local/share/mime -name '*wine*' -exec rm {} \;
find ~/.local/share/mime -name '*wine*'
rm ~/.local/share/applications/wine*.desktop
update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime

And then added new entry to the "Libraries" tab of winecfg: winemenubuilder.exe, and set it to disabled.
Logout and log back in and, tadaaaaa,
Someone may find this useful. Cheers.

Thank you for posting the commands to fix the problem.
I had the same problem until I found your post.
