Places Menu Items Try to Open Archive Manager

Every time I clicked an item in the Places menu, the computer tried to open it with the archive manager. I fixed this by removing the indode/directory= line from my ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list file.

Code:

I just thought I'd post the solution here to help out anyone else with the same problem.

Many thanks.
There I am playing around with a new wifi card and downloaded a new driver, I open Places and get an error message from Archive Manager. Could not create Archive. Archive type not supported.
Earlier I couldn't open Synaptic and was asked to run "sudo dpkg --configure -a", which worked.

A sudo gedit in front of your line, a couple of ## to comment out the line and things are back to normal.

That's great my friend ,thank you a lot !
:popcorn::p

Thanks a lot!
I had it too.
any Idea why is this happening?

cheers mate this works something ubuntu devs should look into for a auto fix....

Thanks a lot!

I'm really grateful to you for posting this. I hadn't a clue where to look for a solution, and the problem was really annoying. Thanks!
