Description Andrew Mike 2023-06-02 15:52:42 UTC

Description of problem: When attempting to launch applications from Nautilus, Nautilus returns an error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.28.1-23

How reproducible:100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Nautilus.
2. Navigate to /usr/bin.
3. Attempt to open the "gedit" application.

Actual results:
Nautilus throws an error: "There is no application available to open 'shared library' files."

Expected results: Application opens.

Additional info:
This issue appears to not exist in GNOME 40 (RHEL 9).

Comment 1 Ondrej Holy 2023-06-05 07:54:36 UTC

Nautilus doesn't offer the "Run" action as the binaries are wrongly detected as "application/x-sharedlib" instead of "application/x-executable". 

$ gio info -a "standard::content-type" /usr/bin/gedit 
uri: file:///usr/bin/gedit
attributes:
  standard::content-type: application/x-sharedlib
$ file --mime-type /usr/bin/gedit
/usr/bin/gedit: application/x-sharedlib

That seems to be a bug in file/libmagic. So this is likely a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1761883.
