Simulate Terminal Behaviour via UI

[nmzs]

Hi,

I am on Linux Mint (LMDE 4, Buster, 64bit) and I have a binary executable file which runs fine if opened in Terminal. However if I click this original file (no desktop-launcher) from graphical interface it does not. Since the binary hasn't changed meanwhile, it must have something to do with how it was invoked. So... How do I get a carbon copy of the Terminal-behaviour by clicking on this goddamn file?

Additional info: I have also already tried to change the OS-behaviour in FileManager > Settings > Behaviour > Run executable textfiles and changed permission to Read/Write for current user from the graphical(!) interface. If it is binary itself - although I doubt it - I am fine with simulating or faking that it was invoked by Terminal.

EDIT: I have the assumption, that it has something to to with a path exported by .bashrc which doesn't reach out to the whole system or user-specific environment variables. However, I don't know how to fix that either. I am pretty irritated if that's a Linux policy. I don't see any contribution to security.

Hi,

Have you tried just creating a launcher pointing at the executable?

[nmzs]

I did. But didn't work out. Got the same error message. However. Here is how I "fixed" it since I cross-posted in different forums:

Where you adding paths to ~/.bashrc?

The OS main shell is dash not bash - bash is only the default (and bashrc only sourced) when you open a terminal or source bash specifically.

Anyway just guessing what may have caused the problem - without knowing what the executable is...
