@Khurshid Alam: - a.out has execution permission - the expected result is: no error message (I updated the bug description)
Obviously the a.out does nothing. I gave the most minimal way to reproduce the problem. I could put an example of a program that opens a window I you think it would make the bug easier to understand. I have several projects I built recently since I installed Ubuntu 16.10 and they all gave me executables I cannot launch from Nautilus. There is no problem when I launch them from a terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1635376 Title: double-clicking on an executable created with gcc6 opens an error message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1635376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
