With this exact init.el, trying to run

Does it mean that you can not reproduce it with emacsclient instead of
xdg-open? Anyway I can not reproduce it with Emacs-27.1 from
Ubuntu-20.04. You may try to add before emacsclient command something like
strace -s64 -f -t -o /tmp/emacsclient.strace
or attach strace to the running emacs using -p PID option just before
executing `start-process-shell-command' and kill strace just after.
My attempt:
- Minimal LXC container, so I had to install xdg-utils and file packages
- Notice
file --mime-type ~/.bashrc
/home/ubuntu/.bashrc: text/plain
so I tried with ~/.bashrc and with a script that is really recognized
as text/x-shellscript
- ~/.local/share/applications/emacsclient-local.desktop
from your previous message
- ~/.config/mimeapps.list
[Added Associations]
text/x-shellscript=emacsclient-local.desktop
[Default Applications]
text/x-shellscript=emacsclient-local.desktop
without such file xdg-open can not find a handler despite I believed
that it scans ~/.local/share/applications/ for .desktop files.
Maybe that part of code works only for x-scheme-handler/...
MIME types.
- emacs &
- switch from some info buffer specific to Debian
- execute the command you provided.
New frame is open and it seems reliable.
P.S. Likely it is unrelated to your problem:
emacs -Q --daemon
Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/221
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is
unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this
problem.
Starting Emacs daemon.
