Connection to the git server impossible

Question

Connection to the git server impossible

Opened this issue 5 years ago · 12 comments

On my computer I can connect to the server, with Preferences → remote repository. It works very well.
But on a fresh install I can't!! I install all the Linux dependencies (only libgtkhtml3 or 4) because it is no more in the repositories of Ubuntu 18.04.
When I try to connect on the fresh install I got an error with git:
git commit fails to commit data to the repository
Did I forgot something?

Im confused what your actually trying to do. Preferences → remote repository , this is something your accessing from the github webpage? Normally if I was starting with a fresh install on a pc, i would start with git clone <url>

Preferences → remote repository
This is a collaboration tools for multiples users, on my system when i opened this, I could enter a git address to access a online git repo. But on the fresh computer, I don't have this possibility again.

is it possible that maybe the git connection your gui application is creating is through ssh and maybe since its a new machine the keys are not created?

The gui I'm using is in BB-desktopt Preferences → Remote Repository. On my system i can connect to a remote git I get this two windows (I need only to complete the second):

But on the fresh install I don't have the second. The connexion stop to the first with this error:
git commit fails to commit data to the repository

I finally understand what your referring to. Sorry im still learning all of bible-edit'as features. I tried real quick on my window 7 install, but I think I got a cryptic message about a version 1.5 of something. I assume this might mean it couldnt find git. I will try this on a linux install with git when i can.

Ok thank you very much for help!
I use the server on linux. This problem I get it on Ubuntu 18.04.
I have not a good internet connexion, then I will answer question not very quickly.

Answer 7 · 2019-07-05T15:52:49.000Z

Is it possible the problem is because I used a ntfs partition for the repo?

Answer 8 · 2019-07-05T15:58:40.000Z

I don't think so.

Answer 9 · 2019-07-05T18:53:07.000Z

Because I read in the help of Bibledit to not create a repo on a windows partition....
And something with bibledit-git?

Answer 10 · 2019-07-05T19:35:41.000Z

I'm not the one who wrote that part of the help. May be because filenames were limited to 8+3 characters. NTFS is probably OK.

Answer 11 · 2019-08-29T02:36:17.000Z

@LAfricain Can you provide me the url you used to try and clone? Im trying to repeat the process.

Answer 12 · 2019-08-29T08:52:51.000Z

I just create a locale git on my computer. I followed the help page: file:///usr/share/bibledit-desktop/site/collaboration.html in the new help.
