Public bug reported: In focal(20.04), gdebi 0.9.5.7+nmu3 has a problem.
In a terminal : sudo gdebi xxx.deb works (but no graphic mode) In a terminal : sudo gdebi-gtk launch gdebi. Then, in the graphic UI, choose a .deb file ("file > open"), then clic on "install" and it's works. BUT right-clic on the .deb, then "open with gdebi" => gdebi launch, et show the .deb file. But clic on "install" button, and gdebi close without any installation. Solution / workaround : change in gdebi.desktop the line exec=gdebi-gtk %f by : exec=sh -c "gdebi-gtk %f" And it's works perfectly. Please, change the gdebi.desktop in gdebi.deb on focal. ** Affects: gdebi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876504 Title: Gdebi close when trying to install a .deb with right-clic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdebi/+bug/1876504/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
