The description of "What happens instead" seems to identify three issues:
Firstly, that you want nautilus to execute scripts without the execute bit set: stuff marked not executable is *intentionally* not executable. This is not a bug. That said, if it were a bug, it wouldn't be a bug in nautilus, but in the MIME handler for #! scripts. I don't happen to know which package deserves this as WONTFIX, but will ignore that aspect of the bug. Secondly, that you want nautilus to offer the option of executing scripts as root. This is provided by the nautilus-gsku package (thanks to rbhatta for investigating). Making this work falls into the category of "support request", but I'll forego opening a question and answering it, as I've answered here. Thirdly, that files with certain extensions don't seem to need the execute bit set. I believe this may be related to bug #355005 : that said, if the upstream patch for that reaches Ubuntu, the MIME types application/x-ms-dos-executable and application/x-msi will still have this issue, and should rather behave like other programs, only allowing execution if the executable bit is set. I don't have a good environment to test WINE, but have reassigned this bug for triage by folks more familiar with WINE. ** Package changed: nautilus (Ubuntu) => wine1.2 (Ubuntu) -- Shell scripts require execute permission to execute https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/652470 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
