I have the same problem. Looks like two buttons are missing in 10.4. Here is a work around. Clumsy, but it works.
The permissions on the file after down load are 1140 -rwxr-xr-x file.desktop If I run sudo chmod ugo+rx *.desktop Now, the permissions are STILL 1140 -rwxr-xr-x file.desktop But now the file is now executable from the desktop. Strange that I can't see a change in permissions, but running this command seems to make a difference. -- Can't launch untrusted app-launchers (.desktop) in GNOME https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572918 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
