Bug#874003: nautilus: Nautilus does not launch applications
Well, this fix is nice, but has the side-effect that now when opening a place (such as Home, Desktop, Document), or invoking my file manager with my Ctrl-Alt-E keyboard shortcut, it runs Thunar instead of Nautilus :-( I'm trying to see if I can get it to work correctly without having to uninstall xfce / thunar. Any help appreciated :-) cheers, On Sun, 14 Jan 2018 12:15:48 +0100 Matthieu Imbert wrote: Here's a more detailed fix: -- Matthieu
Bug#874003: nautilus: Nautilus does not launch applications
Here's a more detailed fix:
deleting ~/.config was not a very appealing fix for me since I don't
want to lost everything :-)
When double clicking a file in nautilus, it ends up calling "gio open".
stracing gio:
$ strace -f gio open 2>&1 | grep '\.config'
it shows that at some point an xfce4 helper file is read (I do have xfce
installed as well on my laptop):
stat("/home//.config/xfce4/helpers.rc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644,
st_size=41, ...}) = 0
this file contained the following lines:
FileManager=nautilus
MailReader=icedove
I moved away this file and it fixes the issue.
Anyway I don't know why, at some point, gio reads this xfce file, it
seems a bit strange.
For information here is the full ouput of
$ strace -f gio open 2>&1 | grep '\.config'
[pid 16711] access("/home//.config", R_OK|X_OK) = 0

"/home//.config/gnome-mimeapps.list", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
(No such file or directory)
[pid 16711] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home//.config/mimeapps.list",
O_RDONLY) = 8
mkdir("/home//.config", 0700)= -1 EEXIST (File exists)
stat("/home//.config", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096,
...}) = 0
stat("/home//.config/xfce4/helpers.rc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644,
st_size=41, ...}) = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home//.config/xfce4/helpers.rc", O_RDONLY) = 7

Regards Phil Actually I forgot to mention that I'm now using 3.26.0-1, and the behaviour is still the same. I also may have not been clear enough: It's not just on some particular documents: The inability to open a document occurs on every kind of document. So any document can be used to reproduce (any text file, image, music, pdf doc, etc.). I attach a simple text file example. If you cannot reproduce it it means there is some configuration difference between our environments, but I have no idea where to start searching. I don't know if it's relevant, but I'm using regular gnome, with a few extensions that make it behave more like traditional gnome 2, and I run in xorg (not wayland). Feel free to ask me whatever other details of my configuration that may be relevant to debug that issue. -- Matthieu lorem ipsum

Also confirming that this affected me on testing, after upgrade from the previous 3.22 version in testing. [UPGRADE] nautilus:amd64 3.22.3-1 -> 3.25.92-1 Using XFCE. Running dbus-monitor seems to indicate that nautilus is calling itself somehow.

Bug#874003: nautilus: Nautilus does not launch applications
Package: nautilus Version: 3.25.90-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, Nautilus is not launching applications when document files double-clicked or right-clicked and 'Open with ' selected. Other right-click actions work. When launching is attempted, either the window redraws with the double-clicked file as the top item, or a new window is opened, again with the target file at the top of the list. I recall seeing Nautilus updated late last night, this problem has occurred since then.
