Description James Richard Tyrer 2004-01-30 19:20:33 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          Gcc 3.3.2 
OS:          Linux

When I run: "kbuildsycoca" using: KDE_3_2_0_RELEASE, I get a long list of WARNINGs.

See attachment.

A few of these might be related to stuff I installed, but I note that before I upgraded that I didn't have any WARNING messages or errors.

i think perhaps seperate bugs should be created or developers of those apps should be cc'd
Comment 5 James Richard Tyrer 2004-04-04 01:13:06 UTC
This appears to be fixed in KDE_3_2_BRANCH Saturday 03 April 2004.

It works for me so I am resolving it as fixed.

Comment 6 James Richard Tyrer 2004-10-16 23:10:11 UTC
The problem appears to be back in 3.3.1.

I attach my list some of which may be specific to my system.

I also attach a list posted to the kde list.

Output form kbuildsycoca

I will try to go over this list and post a revision that is KDE only when I
have time.

Comment 9 Chris Howells 2006-05-29 01:34:39 UTC
Works for me. If you still have the problem it would be more useful to have a bug report against each app which is affected.
Comment 10 James Richard Tyrer 2006-05-29 18:45:48 UTC
I don't see this as an app issue.

Actually, if should first be a KDELibs bug since that is where the system wide MIME types reside.

I still get a list of missing MIME types, some of which are KDE.

Current list of missing MIME types on my system
Comment 12 James Richard Tyrer 2006-05-29 18:52:09 UTC
I will work on this first for KDELibs.

The obvious question is which of these MIME types should KDELibs include.

But, first I need to see where the KDE 'desktop' files requesting these files are originating and if they are in the current 3.5 BRANCH release.

MIssing MIME types

Looks like we need to start here.  This is a list of what is missing after an
new install without aRts.

I presume that these MIME types should be added by that part of KDE that
installs the 'desktop' file.

So, I will break this up into separate bugs.

The WARNING was removed in release mode, it's just a debug message now, and has to be fixed by the individual app maintainers (I went through quite a lot after the switch to shared-mime-info, but there are still some wrong mimetypes mentionned in desktop files; this report is too generic and too old to be useful though).
Comment 16 James Richard Tyrer 2010-02-26 02:16:35 UTC
Might I suggest that the current long list of stuff only be shown if you use a: "--verbose" command line option.

And, the WARNINGs should still be available.  Otherwise, how is a user supposed to trouble shoot his system.  Again, the solution is not to remove them but only tho show them if the "--warning" command line option is used.

I do wish that old bugs could be resolved as OBSOLETE.  Yes, this but is too old, but the issue of missing MIME types remains and I will open a new bug for missing KDE MIME types and additional ones for other packages as needed.
