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 Subversion on Mac OS X with WebDAV support (serf library)
cd ~/Development/svn-install wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scons/scons-2.3.4.tar.gz wget http://mirror.ventraip.net.au/apache/apr/apr-1.5.1.tar.gz wget http://mirror.ventraip.net.au/apache/apr/apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz wget http://mirror.ventraip.net.au/apache/subversion/subversion-1.8.10.tar.gz tar xzf scons-2.3.4.tar.gz tar xzf apr-1.5.1.tar.gz tar xzf apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz tar xzf subversion-1.8.10.tar.gz cd scons-2.3.4 sudo python setup.py install cd ../apr-1.5.1 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install cd ../apr-util-1.5.4 ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install cd ../subversion-1.8.10 sh get-deps.sh serf cd serf scons APR=/usr/local APU=/usr/local OPENSSL=/usr/local PREFIX=/usr/local sudo scons PREFIX=/usr/local install cd .. ./configure --with-openssl --with-serf=/usr/local --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install
Nuff said!
Oh, wait… there’s a problem with misconfigured CA certificates…
cd ~/Development/svn-install wget https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.3.3-10.10-Yosemite.pkg
Run the MackPorts*.pkg…
xcode-select --install
Then…
sudo /opt/local/bin/port install curl-ca-bundle
Then…
sudo -s cd /System/Library/OpenSSL/certs/ ln -s /opt/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem cert.pem cd /usr/local/etc/openssl/certs ln -s /opt/local/etc/openssl/cert.pem cert.pem
Testing:
openssl s_client -connect www.progclub.org:443 -CApath /opt/local/etc/openssl/
Using MacPorts OpenSSL:
sudo port install openssl cd ~/Development/svn-install/subversion-1.8.10/serf/ scons APR=/usr/local APU=/usr/local OPENSSL=/opt/local PREFIX=/usr/local sudo scons PREFIX=/usr/local install
Done!
Enable/Show “http://” and “https://” URL Prefix in Firefox Location Bar
Found this article which said:
Open about:config and disable browser.urlbar.trimURLs. Easy peasy!
gnutls_handshake failed using git
Today I ran into this error:
jj5@mercy:~/public-git$ git push origin master error: gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS warning alert has been received. while accessing https://demo@demo.personalserver.com/public/git/info/refs
The solution, of all things, was to add a ServerName spec into my Apache configuration file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf, e.g.:
ServerName demo.personalserver.com
Bug fixed!!
PHP curl_exec
Today I learned about curl_exec which is a HTTP client for use in PHP.
