Public bug reported: I initially spotted the issue when opening a downloaded source tarball from chromium-browser, which uses xdg-open under the covers to open downloaded files.
Steps to reproduce: 1) wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.11.3.tar.xz 2) xdg-open linux-4.11.3.tar.xz Expected result: the tarball is mounted in nautilus and a nautilus window is open to display the contents of the tarball Actual result: the tarball is mounted in nautilus, but no window is shown, thus leaving the user thinking that nothing happened ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: file-roller 3.24.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-22.24-generic 4.10.15 Uname: Linux 4.10.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl zcommon znvpair ApportVersion: 2.20.5-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Wed Jun 7 12:22:47 2017 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-07-02 (339 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: file-roller UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to artful on 2017-06-04 (2 days ago) ** Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug artful -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696388 Title: xdg-open filename.tar.xz mounts tarball in nautilus but doesn't open a nautilus window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1696388/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
