Then bt
is a magical gdb command to run to give you the call stack of the thread which… failed?

This is a long and unedited video of me upgrading my computer from ‘longing’ https://www.jj5.net/sixsigma/Longing to ‘lore’ https://www.jj5.net/sixsigma/Lore
As I said today was computer upgrade day. I made a video of me doing the upgrade, it runs for about two hours: Motherboard upgrade from ASUS PRIME B550M-A to ASUS ProArt B550-CREATOR. It was pretty uneventful and so far it seems to have been successful too. Yay.

A folder named ~/.cache/kioexec/krun/13821_0/ already exists
2017-12-09 jj5 – TODO: document this on my blog…
On Debian GNU/Linux 9.1 (stretch) when I try to open an *.desktop (application/x-desktop) link in a browser I get:
A folder named ~/.cache/kioexec/krun/13821_0/ already exists.
Searching for:
A folder named kioexec krun already exists
turned up diddly squat.
I solved the issue (for me) by changing:
System Settings -> Personalization -> Applications -> Default Application s-> Web Browser
from:
Open http and https URLs in an application based on the contents of the URL
to:
Open http and https URLs in the following browser: firefox
Installing .NET on Debian 9
After installing Visual Studio Code I followed the instructions from .NET Tutorial – Hello World in 10 minutes, basically:
wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor > microsoft.asc.gpg sudo mv microsoft.asc.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/9/prod.list sudo mv prod.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.asc.gpg sudo chown root:root /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list
Then:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1
Then for example to create a new console project:
dotnet new console -o myApp cd myApp
I ended up reading MICROSOFT SOFTWARE LICENSE TERMS for the MICROSOFT .NET LIBRARY which included this doozy:
The software may collect information about you and your use of the software, and send that to Microsoft.
Ah, Microsoft. You haven’t changed.
I found some notes about how to disable telemetry:
Telemetry
———
The .NET Core tools collect usage data in order to help us improve your experience. The data is anonymous and doesn’t include command-line arguments. The data is collected by Microsoft and shared with the community. You can opt-out of telemetry by setting the DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable to ‘1’ or ‘true’ using your favorite shell.Read more about .NET Core CLI Tools telemetry: https://aka.ms/dotnet-cli-telemetry
I have added the opt-out environment variable via jj5-bin.
