Error message clicking on nnn.png images (and no image display):

No default application found for the MIME type image/x-apple-ios-png.
Open the "File types and programs" page in the Control Center to add one.

This should work "out of the box" in 14.04 LTS.

    Where (in which program, or give a screenshot) did you click on that image? That sould work indeed. The MIME type "image/x-apple-ios-png" is wrong - but why? It should be "image/png". Did you install anything apple related? Jul 23, 2014 at 5:27
  • I experience the very same problem. I am confident I haven't installed anything from Apple, but LibreOffice 4.3 and VLC from PPA, as well as other software which does not offer the same functionality as EOG. On the other hand, I can't find de "Control Center" or any program with "File types and programs" page. What I am missing?

  • I've tried reinstalling [shared-mime-info](askubuntu.com/q/486404/58950), to no avail.

Probably you mean opening *.png files, mime type x-apple-ios-png with gnome commander.

The answer is there: http://gcmd.github.io/doc.html. Create three files in ~/.local/share/applications directory:

mimeapps.list

[Default Applications]  
image/x-apple-ios-png=eog-usercreated.desktop

eog-usercreated.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=eog  
MimeType=image/x-apple-ios-png;  
Exec='/usr/bin/eog'  
Type=Application  
Terminal=false  
NoDisplay=true  

mimeinfo.cache

[MIME Cache]  
image/x-apple-ios-png=eog-usercreated.desktop

It works under Ubuntu 14.04.1, Gnome Commander 1.2.8.17

Thank you very much. It really helped me. And I wrote this code to be able to crop images:

eog-usercreated.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=shotwell  
MimeType=image/x-apple-ios-png;  
Exec='/usr/bin/shotwell'  
Type=Application  
Terminal=false  
NoDisplay=true
