I just upgraded to Karmic from Jaunty, and now my file associations are gone. What's more, if I open Dolphin and try to open for instance an .avi file. There's an empty open with context menu and if I choose open with... dolphin crashes. Anybody know what this might be?

Re: File Associations Gone After Jaunty -> Karmic Upgrade
As over on your ubuntuforums.org thread;
That directory is where user-specific filetype/mimetype associations are saved. Renaming it should make it fall back to the system-wide settings in (the files in) /usr/share/applications.Try renaming (or removing) your ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.local/share/mime directories. Then hit Alt+F2 and run 'kbuildsycoca4', alternatively do it from a terminal.
Code:$ kbuildsycoca4
KDE, I heart thee. -

I'm not sure quite what I did, but the problem is fixed.
