I am trying to make gthumb the default when opening png files from the terminal



$ xdg-mime default ~/.gnome/apps/gthumb.desktop image/png


I created this symlink:



$ ls -l ~/.gnome/apps/gthumb.desktop
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gauthier gauthier 15 Jun 27 /home/gauthier/.gnome/apps/gthumb.desktop -> /usr/bin/gthumb


I expect xdg-mime query default image/png to return gthumb. Instead, it says:



$ xdg-mime query default image/png
eog.desktop


Why doesn't setting default have the effect I expect?




xdg xdg-open

          Enabling debugging with the environment variable XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL helped:

          The mimeapps.list used for setting vs reading defaults is not the same.

                    Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

                    Image
                    Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
