Unable to run applications from partitions mounted with the "user" mount option.
Wobblystep opened this issue · 8 comments
The file system is Ext4.
I'm the owner of the application file and it's marked as executable and using Run from the context menu doesn't do anything, and pressing enter opens it as a text file.
The reason I'm bringing this up is because it works in Thunar, but I'm not sure which behavior is more desired.
(I'm doing the mounting that way to make it more convenient for unmounting)
Will check later today.
Please add any additional information that may be helpful (mount commands etc).
Not able to replicate at this moment.
Is the partition mounted with exec? Adding the user flag will enable noexec. Other than that I don't know, if the file is executable (and the permissions are ok) it should work.
Actually, i have retried with nofail,x-gvfs-show,user,exec,dev,suid and it's still not running the executable.
im using gnome-disks in Fedora 29.
It is mounted in a subdirectory like this: /home/username/subdir
Filesystem type auto.
I have tried with and without the "Require additional authorization to mount" option.
And now it doesn't work even when not having the user option.
The files in there have the same Pid because they were from a previous installation of the same system version.
Same owner same group. This is strange.
I was working around this with a custom action in the file context menu: ./%n
But this way i can only run the executable once, until i close it.
Tested two versions of Qtfm:
qtfm-6.1.5-1.1.x86_64.rpm from Opensuse
https://github.com/rodlie/qtfm/archive/6.1.7.tar.gz compiled yesterday using qt5-devel.noarch 5.11.3-1.fc29
Got it to work. the path had a space in the middle of the name, so i guess that's the bug.
Sorry for the confusion, stopped testing and just assumed stuff.
Good. Will find and fix the path bug.
Please download and test : https://github.com/rodlie/qtfm/archive/0eda4d147394d548059052e8616f1692221e8e12.tar.gz
or use git (6.1 branch).
Have tested that source code and it works.
Tyvm.
I do have another thing that is hard to replicate, but will use the file manager more and maybe something will make it more obvious.
Navigate up sometimes doesn't work :) despite having the files pane in focus, and some other day will post a new issue.
Have a good one!
Will check the navigation for bugs. I sadly don't use qtfm as much as I should (I use the terminal for file stuff), so I don't catch as many bugs as I should.
Please report any issues (small or large) and I will do my best to fix them.
