Untrusted application launcher in Xfce 4.18

In Xfce 4.18, the following issue occurs:
When double-clicking a desktop file on the desktop, the "Untrusted application launcher" window always appears.
This is very annoying.
So far, I have not found a way to prevent this.
The following command did not succeed:
Code: Select all
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /desktop-item/desktop-file-extensions --create --type string -s "true"
Maybe you need to make a change in the ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-desktop.xml file?
Which one?
This annoying effect does not exist in Xfce 4.16.
However, there must be a way to eliminate this bothersome effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may sound stupid, but did you tried to make .desktop file executable?

Hi i3slkiller,
All .desktop files are executable, but the "Untrusted application launcher" window still appears every time.
This only applies to Xfce 4.18.
This is a new, additional security mechanism in version 4.18
Porteus 5.01 uses Xfce 4.16 where these annoying windows do not appear.
However, PorteuX 1.7 uses Xfce 4.18.
However, there must be a way to eliminate this bothersome effect.

Assuming you're using PorteuX 1.7+
current, let me know if this Xfce 4.18 module fixes the issue for you:

I have now found a solution to the problem:
Code: Select all
find /home/guest/desktop/ -name "*.desktop" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -I {} sh -c 'gio set "{}" "metadata::xfce-exe-checksum" "$(sha256sum "{}" | cut -d " " -f 1)"'

I can't replicate this issue in Always Fresh.
You're either not booting in Always Fresh or you have a broken hardware.
What happens if you boot into Text Mode Fresh and run 'startx'?

Hi porteux,
K1) 000-kernel-6.11.4.xzm 163,7 MiB (171.634.688 Bytes)
K2) 000-kernel-6.11.4.xzm 155,9 MiB (163.467.264 Bytes)
I have tried both kernels.
With kernel K1, Porteux 1.7 current Xfce runs
With kernel K2, it freezes at INIT: version 3.10 booting
But that is not the topic here.
The problem is solved, see above #7
