However, I am not inclined to do so. It is not a debian specific problem. It is a Gnome3 / nautilus issue. The Gnome3 devs have basically decided that nautilus should not be in the business of launching applications. So the use of desktop shortcuts to run applications is depreciated / discurraged with gnome3. The problem also exists for CentOS 7. I found a solution: use gio to set the trusted metadata in a startup application (script run from ~/.config/autostart/). > > Regards > > Phil > > - -- > *** If this is a mailing list, I am subscribed, no need to CC me.*** > > Playing the game for the games sake. > > Twitter: kathenasorg > IRC: kathenas > Web: https://kathenas.org > Github: https://github.com/kathenas > GitLab: https://gitlab.com/kathenas > > GPG: A0C3 4C6A AC2B B8F4 F1E5 EDF4 333F 60DC B0B9 BB77 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) > > iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJcxfQgAAoJEDM/YNywubt3gSYQAIypXswVX59FBVlbz5evtF49 > mJRqF6gm4xiHg1SFCt0IWDxFf+fNPkQOfmfE47dVqwWRIezsqNHzmFzog3oyZg2h > UzsOg/JsSFTjxqIg+9YLR848+cRCFxuJEmkegeBApGQj+Rx3l3nfAWANQCLL2j9l > iLU8cwH7oFBr9F4stkkL9ypbaRtnqgL1Mz0f+gXuhbcUkRHDCcIoKJTa8jPG9Kpx > Knl5Z0JAY7P07y72iZ/E1ZWvh/pkaeOljJwMwR51V5vgqZifrVPZzNL3SWxXJEQY > BnWYyanEBR0ZuLGjd2Nd6JgrKFGhx6Q1BfqgWuGQGGQ3bRN2LfjKUfoKnGhW9NWj > yWFvKIX1hkVaTBK1Iww8oesp1zb89CbzRY0ga34x0uI9nvXbVo6eNpou6QiinipQ > T2ioVVuaEHALit7htm8TP88L4Y3pcCuaTF2e9KSp9RE4XjLmeOH/pcgDnRw3K8o3 > 84pdVVvjQuQClofoqFCCzdaMat03ZAKjVDFHiCDAFpmkbxJhvcal7rEAHr9GP/yU > rmDevz9BDKrW1HtPQtLy7Ws2WP+LjkaXPEh5W/k81am8SM1FDB0sSZ/t0XDIXVAl > f3xmZnTlwXl6jwoH94uYIj3oAoDeh2Q8AA6pu3tYhrUMcih9heEHQAq5D6fV3IFK > pBef5IfjuzltOMP+XgMz > =AfW7 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services heller at deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services
