Configurator startup is not working with palemoon

[bassmanitram]

From @markd89

One minor thing and I think this is my system.. but in the configurator I had to change:

xdg-open http://localhost:$PORT # >> /tmp/a4n-start.log

to

firefox http://localhost:$PORT # >> /tmp/a4n-start.log

Palemoon is my default browser and didn't like something there.

Hey @markd89

I installed pale moon, set it as my default browser, and started the configurator. All went well for me. Can you give me more details about what is going wrong for you?

For example, restore the script to use xdg-open, then, in a terminal run the following

cd $HOME/.local/share/actions-for-nautilus-configurator
./start-configurator.sh

Attach any error messages/output to this issue.

Thanks

@markd89 - I've also tested this on Debian Bookworm and it works with xdg-open.

Thanks for your patience @bassmanitram I just got back from a trip.

Yes, I think this is may be a peculiarity issue on my system.

I edited the script to see the errors:

# Start web page
#
xdg-open http://localhost:$PORT 

`mark@[machinename]:~$ cd $HOME/.local/share/actions-for-nautilus-configurator

bash: cd: /home/mark/.local/share/actions-for-nautilus-configurator: No such file or directory `

the script is in a different directory, I'm not sure why but that seems to be why it fails. So if I run it from where it is, I get this:

mark@[machinename]:~$ /usr/share/actions-for-nautilus-configurator/start-configurator.sh
python3: can't open file '/home/mark/./find-a-port.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
python3: can't open file '/home/mark/./actions-for-nautilus-configurator.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

If it's working for you on a normal install maybe we shouldn't worry about this one?

I can make that work if I can do so without any hard dependencies on BASH itself.
