@Daniel. I ran the command in command #4. That's a lot of sensitive info, in my opinion, to post on a public forum. Besides, this bug is about the display of an error message, and does not require all that info. For any future bug reports that do require such information, it'd help to either have a private mode of submitting info, which allows only a limited number of legit people to view the details, or to request the user for specific portions of the journalctl output, explaining why that info is required.

I placed a text file on my desktop, and on clicking it, I was shown the error "Execution of /home/myUsername/Desktop/.goutputstream-WU... Command not found". Even on clicking the error message that popped up, it didn't expand to show more details. So basically, the bug I'm reporting is about error messages being too short/obscure to be useful for users to figure out what the problem actually is. Image attached. The black spot in the middle was added by me to obscure the username. (on a a side note, I was clicking a plain text document which had the checkbox for "allow executing file as a program" ticked). Clicking any other textfile didn't show this error. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu50.6 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DisplayManager: gdm3 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-05-02 (12 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.10 "Groovy Gorilla" - Release amd64 (20201022) Package: gnome-shell 3.38.1-1ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-50.56-generic 5.8.18 RelatedPackageVersions: mutter-common 3.38.2-1ubuntu1~20.10.1 Tags: groovy Uname: Linux 5.8.0-50-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin lxd plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1926932/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
