If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to glib2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1729012 Title: "gio open /tmp/whatever.mp3" only opens the file (with totem) every other time it is called Status in glib2.0 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I run "gio open /tmp/whatever.mp3". It silently does nothing, i.e., the mp3 does not play, and yet exits with status 0. I run exactly the same command again. It opens totem to play the mp3. This seems to be repeatable: when I run the command repeatedly, it alternatives between doing nothing and playing the mp3. I've attached two files showing the output of strace when the command succeeds and fails. I can't figure out what the heck is going on.
