[Bug 378783] Re: xdg-open *.desktop opens text editor
re: comment #15 In Kubuntu 16.04, xdg-open is a bash script that determines your desktop environment (starting with the value of $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP) and calls the file opener for that desktop. For XFCE that appears to be exo-open. So run exo-open in debug mode to see what's going on. > xdg-mime query default application/x-desktop This outputs "wine-extension-txt.desktop" in my Kubuntu 16.04 desktop, so `xdg-open /path/to/some.desktop` grinds away and eventually starts Notepad in Wine! After I renamed $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine- extension-txt.desktop to ..._DISABLED, that command outputs "org.kde.kate.desktop" and so the file opens in the Kate editor. As I understand it, our desktops don't have a .desktop file volunteering to handle the mime type application/x-desktop. The `/usr/share/mime/application/x-desktop.xml` file that associates the extension .desktop file with application/x-desktop also says it's , and that's why desktops end up running the application that handles text files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/378783 Title: xdg-open *.desktop opens text editor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/378783/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
