In Ubuntu, we intentionally set things up using binfmt-support so that users don't have to know to explicitly invoke things using wine; they can just execute the .exe file directly. (Or, if we don't do this right now, this is a regression from previous releases and we should fix it; we certainly do this for .NET executables using Mono.) Disabling the executable bit would forcibly remove this feature.
Considering that the alternative is fixing what's little more than a cosmetic bug in Nautilus - all you'd need to do would be to arrange for Nautilus to act as if that "View executable text files when they are opened" option is set when the filesystem is mounted umask=007 or whatever - I'd rather fix Nautilus than change the installer. Changing the installer for this kind of thing tends to be more difficult to reverse later when we discover we did the wrong thing. In any case, you have to fix Nautilus anyway in order to cope with upgraded systems. Accordingly, I'm reassigning this bug to Nautilus and declining the installer change. ** Package changed: partman-basicfilesystems (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu) -- NTFS and FAT partitions mounted with executable bits create lots of annoyance https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78505 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
