[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1889477] Re: xdg-open on Kubuntu 20.04 reports 'Could not connect to localhost: Connection refused' if localhost service not already up
Hi Alex, My scripts run xdg-open http://localhost:something before starting the service as a time saver to setup my workspace. Did you already have the service running when you started it up? It works fine when the service is already up, but it throws this new error when it is not. In the past it would just open a new tab in the browser and move on. In Kubuntu 20.04 I have to click the button in the dialog for it to exit. Since it does not happen in Manjaro with either KDE 18 or 19.2 in my experience I assuming it is a Kubuntu/Ubuntu issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xdg-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1889477 Title: xdg-open on Kubuntu 20.04 reports 'Could not connect to localhost: Connection refused' if localhost service not already up Status in xdg-utils package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Description:Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS Release:20.04 (Kubuntu 20.04 Fresh Install) 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center xdg-utils: Installed: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1 3) What you expected to happen xdg-open "http://localhost:1313; to open the default browser at http://localhost:1313 4) What happened instead A gui dialog titled 'Error -- KIO Client' pops up with the message 'Could not connect to host localhost: Connection refused.' 5) More Info I use xdg-open "http://localhost:someport; in my bash scripts before it actually starts the service as a time saver.
