Description Björn Lindqvist 2005-08-03 08:44:37 UTC 
1. Open Nautilus and go to /usr
2. Double-click on the binary "dmesg".
3. Nothing happens! 

The reason why nothing happens is naturally because dmesg doesn't open a window
and only outputs to stdout. But I still would like to see it handled in a more
graceful way. One way could be to prompt the user if the program should be run
in a terminal like is done with shell scripts. Another way could be to popup a
dialig saying the program cannot be run from Nautilus. I just want SOMETHING to
happen because when NOTHING happens it is very confusing.

I don't think this bug is a dupe of #91362. The binary you try to run does not
fail, instead it executes to completion but you do not get any output. Launching
/usr/bin/lspci, /bin/ls, etc from nautilus also give no output whatsoever.
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2005-08-04 15:50:56 UTC 
that's quite the same issue, the program you launch just return
