Bug Description

Whenever trying to launch a pdf it's default is to run and on my system this does nothing. But if open is selected from the tab menu it executes properly. Not sure if this is just a bug on my system or this is the desired behavior. I would assume open would be selected as this works properly.

I have 10.04 Lucid installed.

Let me know if anymore questions about installation.

Figured the issue out; it's with NTFS file systems. I had moved over from a windows machine ages ago but still need Adobe Photoshop occasionally unfortunately and to backup the blackberry so keep it around. I like being able to access everything there so I keep the NTFS file system intact which is where all my data is.

Since ubuntu sets all these as rwx for everybody it thinks it can execute these files but it be nice to have an option to change the default on this permanently. Biggest issue on this is with pdfs. Most other things work properly from what I've seen.

Cheers
