Title:
khotnewstuff4 fails to load providers.xml
Status in KDE Base Runtime:
Fix Released
Status in kde-runtime package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After a disk failure, I had to do a completely fresh kubuntu 16.04.1 install.
I decided I hated the breeze style and was looking for something resembling
classic.
Every menu within system-settings that tries to search online for new styles
or icons or whatever, specifies in a file in, for example
/etc/xdg/aurorae.knsrc
that:
ProvidersUrl=http://downloads.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml
Unfortunately, the server now redirects that URL to:
https://autoconfig.kde.org/ocs/providers.xml
That file should be retrieved by khotnewstuff4, which also works from the
commandline like:
$> khotnewstuff4 /etc/xdg/aurorae.knsrc
Currently, this fails, I suspect because iether it doesn't know how to handle
the
server redirect, or, it doesn't know how to handle HTTPS.
I grabbed a copy of providers.xml and installed it in an apache2
/var/www/html folder,
modified the ProvidersUrl to point to it on http://localhost... and then it
worked just fine.
Hope you folks can sort this out!
Thanks
