From c292471e64f6f4b7106c8d91dc186c5562162dae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sai Sridhar Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 00:57:07 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Surface xdg-open errors from the open shell helper The open() alias was discarding both stdout and stderr, so any failure from xdg-open (unknown MIME type, missing handler, malformed path) was silently swallowed. This made debugging impossible from the terminal. Drop only the stderr redirection. Stdout is still suppressed (avoids noise from handlers that produce it), the call remains non-blocking (no job-control completion messages), and error output from xdg-open now reaches the user's terminal. Fixes #6056. --- default/bash/aliases | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/default/bash/aliases b/default/bash/aliases index 656d145fa2..30787f1bcd 100644 --- a/default/bash/aliases +++ b/default/bash/aliases @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ if command -v zoxide &> /dev/null; then fi open() ( - xdg-open "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 & + xdg-open "$@" >/dev/null & ) # Directories
