Ubuntu: Stop pdf to open with default ImageMagick

Surprisingly after migrating from Unity to Cinnamon DE, i found a very annoying and strange behaviour or my default application for PDF .

Instead of Document Viewer, it's using ImageMagick to open each PDF document, though i have adobe reader within my Ununtu 16.04, but it's not ready to leave ImageMagick at all.

So now , as always our friend is Terminal, follow the below steps to get rid of ImageMagick.

edit the file ~/.config/mimeapps.list

Now remove the lines that associates PDF to imagemagick in the file:

image/pdf=display-im6.desktop
image/pdf=display-im6.q16.desktop;display-im6.desktop;

I have performed these steps within my Ubuntu 16.04, hope this gonna work for you too.

Ubuntu : Touchpad and right click not working on Lenovo ideapad 320-15ISK

So these are the problems I encountered after a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 installation on my new Lenovo ideapad 320-15ISK.

Strange confusion between right and left click ( functioning opposite ).
Couldn't drag any window from touchpad.
Right click not working..seems to be disabled.

So below is the code snippet that work like a charm for me.

Do open the below file from terminal.

cyberkeeda@Linux-Maniac:~$ gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-synaptics-quirks.conf

Copy paste the below snippet at the top of the file.

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad catchall"
    Driver "synaptics"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "2"
    Option "TapButton3" "3"
    Option "ClickPad" "true"
    Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "0"
    Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection

Save and restart your system, hopefully everything must work now.

Thanks to the mint forum

Ubuntu : How to change default file application.

How to make change default open file with application.
How to set default application type for particular application type.

Many times we use open with parameter in the file browser to open an application with certain application.
For instance default writer / office package for Ubuntu is Libre office , but I feel WPS Office suite more friendly.
or
I want to Use VLC as a media player instead of Videos pre installed within Ubuntu.

Instead of opening a file/media with Open with I want to make it work on Double click of mouse only with preferred application type.

Select a file of the type whose default application you want to change. For example, to change which application is used to open Video files, select a .mp4 or FLV file.
Right-click the file and select Properties.
Select the Open With tab.
Select the application you want and click Set as default. By default, the file manager only shows applications it knows can handle the file. To look through all the applications on your computer, click Show other applications.

Have a look on the Video.
