bugs/Android, unable to start browser git-annexhttp://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Android__44___unable_to_start_browser_/git-annexikiwiki2019-03-22T13:51:53Zcomment 1http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Android__44___unable_to_start_browser_/comment_1_1fc9d5168fec0b277b5ab5321c07385f/joey2019-03-18T17:58:40Z2019-03-18T17:38:40Z
<p>git-annex uses the xdg-open command in termux to open the webapp,
so you will probably get the same error message if you run a command like</p>
<pre><code>xdg-open http://google.com/
</code></pre>
<p>So this is a problem with termux, or perhaps something in your Android is
preventing termux from communicating with it correctly. It's not a problem
I can address in git-annex, so I'm going to close this bug report.</p>
no problem with xdg-openhttp://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Android__44___unable_to_start_browser_/comment_2_8db1f505c02fd6d4e8acc1b6bbded03f/Fabio2019-03-20T21:57:00Z2019-03-20T21:57:00Z
<p>I tried xdg-open http://www.google.com and it actually works fine. I also tried with xdg-open http://127.0.0.1:annexport/annexurlpath and I don't have any issue with that: the browser opens up and it shows the assistant page.</p>
<p>Any other idea?</p>

<p>Reopened the bug since you confirmed xdg-open usually works.</p>
<p>Why is it failing when git-annex runs it but not otherwise?
Perhaps it has something to do with the environment set up by runshell.</p>
