Regards to: Ploplinux 4.2.1 with X-Support
It is not possible to open files by just clicking on it in Nautilus. Also the GNOME places menu doesn't work.The error messages are:
Could not open location 'file://' (or similar).
No application is registered as handling this fileThe reason is an empty mimecache.info in /opt/share/applications/
Since /opt is a readonly filesystem this problem must corrected in the Image and cn't solved at boot time.
Workaround:You need a running linux with following programs installed:
- update-desktop-database (package desktop-file-utils)
- mksquashfs, unsquashfs (package squashfs-tools)
This may be the ploplinux system itself (with X support).
If using an ISO-Image, this image should be opened per loopback-mount, an extracted *.tar.gz-Image may be mounted per NFS.
- Then change to the root directory of that ploplinux image:
cd {root-of-ploplinux-image}
- Enter the following command:
cd ploplinux/opt \
&& unsquashfs opt.sqfs \
&& update-desktop-database squashfs-root/share/applications/ \
&& mksquashfs squashfs-root opt.sqfs -noappend \
&& rm -Rf squashfs-root
Thats all.
