I have a bash script that has permission to execute, but when I double click it in nautilus it won't execute, instead it opens as text in gedit.



In properties it says open with: gedit, and that doesn't change when I click the reset button.



What do I have to do to make it execute? I'm running Ubuntu 13.04. I never had an issue like this one with 12.04 or with any other distribution in general.



EDIT
If I go in terminal and type: ./bashscriptname it runs just fine.

  1. Open Nautilus.

  2. Go to File → Preferences (in Ubuntu 14.04, you might find it under Edit → Preferences).

  3. Go to the Behavior tab and click on Run executable text files when they are opened.

    Or, choose Ask each time to be prompted every time you double click.
