| Jul 20, 2018 at 16:22 | comment | added | Gert van den Berg | @terdon I'm currently a bit far from an up to date *nix system using a GUI. gtk-launch was added based on the OP's comment that it worked for him. gtk-launch seems to be provided in the gtk3 package | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 16:07 | comment | added | terdon♦ | That gives me gtk-launch: no such application /home/terdon/Desktop/foo.desktop (and yes, foo.desktop exists and can be launched by double clicking). I'm using Arch and Cinnamon. Have you managed to get any of these to work on your system? | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 15:48 | comment | added | Gert van den Berg | Ah, ok.. Edited to add gtk-launch as well | |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 15:47 | history | edited | Gert van den Berg | CC BY-SA 4.0 | Mention gtk-launch |
| Jul 20, 2018 at 12:05 | comment | added | terdon♦ | Both xdg-open and gnome-open open the desktop file for editing instead of executing. Presumably because of the bug you linked to. Shame, this would indeed have been a better way. | |
