  • How do I set the default program?

How can I change the default applications from the command line (specifically from a script) in Ubuntu 18.04?



The link below describes setting the default applications from the GUI, and also by editing ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list. However, it appears mimeapps.list has been moved or is no longer present in Ubuntu 18.04.



See, e.g.,

            How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
