Title: Nautilus gives no error message if an application fails to start Status in Nautilus: Expired Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus If I try to run an application by double clicking it in Nautilus and the application for some reason fails to start I get no error message. If I try to run the same application in the Terminal, I always get an error message such as "Segmentation fault (core dumped)", "error while loading shared libraries: xxxxxx.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" or "./a.out: Permission denied". Without an error message it is impossible to tell what went wrong and if the application did something or not. Nautilus should show the error messages too. Even better it should give a solution to the problem such as offering to install a missing package or asking if the user want's to give the file execute permission.
