Could not find mime type

I am running Mepis upgraded to KDE 3.4.2 from Debian unstable. Whenever I open a kde application for the first time in a session I get an error message that says

Could not find mime type application/octet-stream.

I click on the ok button and the app starts.

This happens for every KDE application.

Is there a way I can fix this, it's highly annoying.

Thanks.

I had this same problem and found this thread by searching Google. Adding octet-stream (application group) to the list of known types in Control Center -> KDE Components -> File Associations seems to have fixed it.

I found that a kded crash on my machine would generate this same problem and at the same time it would make impossible for me to add the application/octet-stream mime-type manually.

I tried everything above and then I relaunched kded (typing kded as me, the normal user, in the console). And it solved the problem

Hello, this seems to be an issue regarding file association.

Sounds like an old mime application/octet stream association problem.

If you don't see octet-stream in the applications group when you click the add button, then add it manually.

Adding it to the file extensions should fix it.
