One distro I'm using is Manjaro, and they've set $BROWSER in /etc/skel/.bashrc to xdg-open. In that situation, when a command line program tries to open a port on localhost, xdg-open tries and fails. fossil ui seems to persistly retry forever, causing a fork bomb.
So, the easy patch is to tell me to change my $BROWSER value, right? Done. But if my diagnosis of the situation is correct, fossil ui should be patched to fail gracefully. In my case, manually opening my browser, and navigating to the port on localhost succeeded in connecting me to fossil ui, but did not prevent the fork-bomb from progressing to fatal. -- hkp://keys.gnupg.net CA45 09B5 5351 7C11 A9D1 7286 0036 9E45 1595 8BC0 _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
