Description of problem: When double clicking a file in Nautilus or right clicking and choosing "open" nothing happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.7.x How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Double click a file (anything but a directory) in Nautilus Actual results: Nothing except a line in .xsession-errors: /path/to/file: /path/to/file: cannot execute binary file Expected results: I expect Nautilus to to what I put in the settings Additional info: It's been like this since 2.6 -> 2.7 migration. Right clicking files and choosing any of the "open with..." alternatives works fine.
Does this still happen for you with latest rawhide? There has been a lot of changes and fixes in this area.
Yep. Exactly same result with latest of everything (nautilus 2.7.92-1).
Very strange. I don't see this at all. I wonder what the difference with your system is. Can you try creating a new user?
I later found this in gnome bugzilla. It has with permissions to do. If the execute-flag is set, nautilus tries to execute it instead of looking at the mime type. (thing is, mostly when I double click something, it is a movie, and I've got all of my movies on FAT32, leaving me little control over permissions) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151106
Ah, i see. That explains things. On FAT32 everything is +x.
I got this fixed. Patch waiting for release-team approval.
Well, you can make things not +x (using umask in fstab), problem is then it's for entire partition and then all directories are non listable...
Fix is upstream.
gnome-vfs2 2.8.0 has fix.
