** Description changed: This is on Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla). I placed a text file on my desktop, and on clicking it, I was shown the error "Execution of /home/myUsername/Desktop/.goutputstream-WU... Command not found". Even on clicking the error message that popped up, it didn't expand to show more details. So basically, the bug I'm reporting is about error messages being too short/obscure to be useful for users to figure out what the problem actually is. Image attached. The black spot in the middle was added by me to obscure the username. - (on a a side note, I was clicking a plain text document which had the - checkbox for "allow executing file as a program" ticked). Clicking any - other textfile didn't show this error. + (on a a side note, I was clicking a plain text document which had the checkbox for "allow executing file as a program" ticked).
