Untrusted application launcher

Asked by wolfv

This is solved. I am posting the solution for others experiencing the same issue.

The following error popped up when I clicked on ~/Private/Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop
 Untrusted application launcher
 The application launcher "Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop" has not been marked as trusted.

Although this works from the terminal:
 ecryptfs-mount-private

Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop link has all the permissions:
 wolf@copper:~$ ls -l Private/
 total 0
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 wolf wolf 56 2010-06-08 15:21 Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop -> /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-mount-private.desktop

But the linked desktop file is missing an execute permission (from default eCryptfs install):
wolf@copper:/usr/share/ecryptfs-utils$ ls -l
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 220 2010-02-18 17:18 ecryptfs-mount-private.desktop

So I gave everyone execute permissions:
wolf@copper:/usr/share/ecryptfs-utils$ sudo chmod 755 ecryptfs-mount-private.desktop
[sudo] password for wolf:
wolf@copper:/usr/share/ecryptfs-utils$ ls -l
total 16
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 220 2010-02-18 17:18 ecryptfs-mount-private.desktop

That fixed the problem.

I am running Ubuntu 10.4 (Gnome) and my "home" is on a separate partition.

I found the answer at http://www.algorithm-forge.com/techblog/2009/07/executable-application-launcher/
Give your desktop launchers execute permissions!

Take care.
