I am running KDE5 on Arch Linux and cannot xdg-settings set default-web-browser either. Running with XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=3 I obtained: > $ xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-browser.desktop > Running KDE trader query "text/html" mimetype and "Application" servicetype > make_default_kde: No kde runtime detected > make_default_generic chromium-browser.desktop text/html > Updating /home/username/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list > Running KDE trader query "text/html" mimetype and "Application" servicetype > make_default_kde: No kde runtime detected > make_default_generic userapp-Firefox-65I9HY.desktop text/html > Updating /home/username/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list I dug a bit deeper into this and noticed, that xdg-mime still has some parts which are not aware of KDE 5. I attached a patch which does some superficial fixes but it is not working although the output changed: > $ xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium.desktop > Running KDE trader query "text/html" mimetype and "Application" servicetype > make_default_kde chromium.desktop text/html > Updating /home/username/.local/share/applications//mimeapps.list > kbuildsycoca5 running... > Reusing existing ksycoca > Recreating ksycoca file ("/home/username/.cache/ksycoca5_de_<redacted>", version 303) > Still in the time dict (i.e. deleted files) ("apps") > Menu "applications-kmenuedit.menu" not found. > Saving > make_default_generic chromium.desktop text/html > Updating /home/username/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list > Running KDE trader query "text/html" mimetype and "Application" servicetype > make_default_kde userapp-Firefox-65I9HY.desktop text/html > Updating /home/username/.local/share/applications//mimeapps.list > kbuildsycoca5 running... > Reusing existing ksycoca > Recreating ksycoca file ("/home/username/.cache/ksycoca5_de_<redacted>", version 303) > Still in the time dict (i.e. deleted files) ("apps") > Menu "applications-kmenuedit.menu" not found. > Saving > make_default_generic userapp-Firefox-65I9HY.desktop text/html > Updating /home/username/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
