Package: mate-desktop-environment Version: 1.8.0+9 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
If you make a shell script or text file executable you get a dialog asking if you want to run or open the file. But what I dont get is what happens on ELF binaries.MATE just simply wants to "open with" nothing at all or ask me what to "open with". Im no UI expert here but cant we just shell exec with "exec <filename>" like "start <filename>" works on windows? Why should I have to open a shell to run some Linux native binary app? This makes no sense to me. Go browse under /usr/bin in the UI and try this one. :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages mate-desktop-environment depends on: ii mate-desktop-environment-core 1.8.0+9 Versions of packages mate-desktop-environment recommends: ii atril 1.8.1+dfsg1-4 ii desktop-base 8.0.2 ii engrampa 1.8.1+dfsg1-1 ii eom 1.8.0+dfsg1-4+b2 ii ffmpegthumbnailer 2.0.8-dmo7 ii galculator 2.1.3-1 ii mate-applets 1.8.1+dfsg1-3 ii mate-icon-theme-faenza 1.8.0+dfsg1-1 ii mate-media 1.8.0+dfsg1-3 ii mate-notification-daemon 1.8.1-3 ii mate-power-manager 1.8.1+dfsg1-5 ii mate-screensaver 1.8.1-2 ii mate-system-monitor 1.8.0+dfsg1-2 ii mate-themes 1.9.2-1 ii mate-utils 1.8.1+dfsg1-2+deb8u1 ii pluma 1.8.1+dfsg1-2 Versions of packages mate-desktop-environment suggests: ii bsd-mailx [mail-reader] 8.1.2-0.20141216cvs-2 ii iceweasel 38.2.0esr-1~deb8u1 ii kmail [mail-reader] 4:4.14.1-1 ii mutt [mail-reader] 1.5.23-3 ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.10.0-2 ii sylpheed [mail-reader] 3.5.0~beta1~r3426-1 -- no debconf information
