Unable to update git config: failed to lock file [home]/snap/gitkraken/137/.gitconfig.lock' for writing: - git-config

So I installed the latest version of Gitkraken(v5.02) and wanted to try the new gpg key feature. Firstly, the documentation says that if you have an existing key, gitkraken will automatically use it, but mine doesn't.
Also, when in the gpg settings menu, I chose the sign commits by default option,
I get the following error:
Though I tried deleting the .gitconfig.lock file and even reinstalled gitkraken, I can't get it to work.
Am I missing something obvious?
EDIT: I installed gitkraken using snap:
sudo snap install gitkraken

I asked this question on the gitkraken help slack channel. They suggested using the .deb installer instead of snap. It worked exactly as expected.
The .deb installer fixes both the auto-detection of gpg keys problem as well as the "failed to lock file problem".
In the same chat, someone else responded that snap probably was n't working properly due to the issue of sandboxing.
The issue with snap may be solved in more recent updates from gitkraken.

How do I fix the CondaHTTPError [duplicate]

I'd like to install the pymongo library but I'm getting the following error:
(C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3) C:\Users\xxxxxxx>
conda install -c anaconda pymongo
Fetching package metadata ...
CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://conda.anaconda.org/a

A number of posts online simply reinstalled Anaconda, any other options apart from a fresh install?
This works a charm:-
Just copy these:-
libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
libssl-1_1-x64.dll
from D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin to D:\Anaconda3\DLLs.
Execute the following command in the cmd prompt/terminal:
conda config --set ssl_verify no
I try to create a virtual env with python 2.7 with anaconda, the base env is python 3.7. I encounter the exactly same problem. It turns out that there isn't such problem with other virtual envs with python 3.7 or 3.6.
This post works perfectly to solve my problem on win7 with anaconda prompt.
It basically says you need to add the following directories into your user environment path in windows (go to Start and type in: View Advanced System Settings, then select Environmental Variables: then select Path and click Edit: finally you can click New and add a path):
C:\your_directory_to_anaconda3\Anaconda3\Scripts
C:\your_directory_to_anaconda3\Anaconda3\
C:\your_directory_to_anaconda3\Anaconda3\Library\bin -- This is the directory for openssl
If you added conda to your PATH variables, remove it and use the "Anaconda Prompt". This solved the problem for me.
See: https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/8046#issuecomment-450582208
I faced this issue when I tried to create environment. I solved it by first activating conda base environment by using:
conda activate base
then I created the environment
conda create -n myenv python=3.7
Check the proxy URL
Verify .condarc file
For me, the problem was with the indentation in the .condarc file.
proxy_servers:
http: http://testproxy:8080
https: https://testproxy:8080
My authenticated proxy server is configured with a domain whitelist for massive and repeated downloads so root or local sudoer doesn't need to be authenticated.
Adding conda.anaconda.org is not enough as this repo redirect its traffic to amazonaws.com.
In my case, adding ".amazonaws.com" to the whitelist solved the issue.
The issue was resolved by adding a username and password to file C:\Users\xxxxx.condarc
channels:
- defaults
ssl_verify: false
proxy_servers:
http: http://xxxxx:password#sproxy.fg.abc.com:yyyy
https: https://xxxxx:password#sproxy.fg.abc.com:yyyy
I had the same problem on Windows 10-64 bit and intuitively installed the 64-bit version of miniconda. However, it results in exactly the same error above. Installing 32 bit conda installer has resolved the issue
Before installing some package (pydicom) the installation run just fine. After
it I tried to install matplotlib, but I got the same error as yours.
I tried conda config --set ssl_verify no but it didn't solve the problem so I set it again to true.
Fortunately, I had a virtual environment where I installed my packages. I closed all Anaconda prompts and tried in a new test environment. Magically, the install worked. I came back to my original virtual env and run the install again, and it worked!.
It might be that I just had to wait for some time before I could use conda install again.
One other thing I could do is remove the package that caused the problem, but I didn't have the chance to try it. If it has anything to do with some virtual environments not being affected, then one possible way to guard against this is to clone the environment before installing any new package.
Edit: I tried the same solution but It did not work. But instead of showing the error immediately, it asks me whether I want to proceed. I deactivated the env, and re-opened anaconda prompt, then did the same steps as above and worked again.
I also had the Same Issue, I resolved by installing 32 bit Anaconda Installer.
Which resolved the CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION, on Windows 64 bit.
I faced this issues after "conda clean -a" on win-64.
Activating and deactivating existing conda env resolved the issue.
You might need to upgrade your openssl installation
You can download it here (Try the latest version):
https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Source:
https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/6424#issuecomment-464660808
My issue was simply not running the conda init command prior to attempting to create an environment.
Came across the CondaHTTP Connection error after installing Anaconda environment on a new Windows 10 computer. I tried virtually all the recommendations above unsuccessfully! Looking up the Anaconda archives ( https://repo.continuum.io/archive/ ), I downloaded the immediate previous release .... and on installation and rebooting my PC, all is now wellscreenshot of release
In short - installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio solved my problem.
In more detail: upon trying a suggested solution of installing a new version of OpenSSL, the installation process told me I was missing a dependency - the Visual Studio Redistributable package. The installer led me to a direct download page of the 2017 version. I can't find that page now, but the official release of 2019 can be found here, and should work as well (found under Other Tools and Frameworks).
Uninstalling and reinstalling anaconda for all users (instead, of current user only, requires admin privileges) and activating the option to add Anaconda to PATH during the installation process, fixed the issues for me.
Thank you everyone for your responses. In my case, I found out that my Kaspersky Internet Security was blocking it the whole time. The moment I quit the application all applications were downloaded. Please check your firewall settings before trying all the above options.
I tried all of these solutions and none worked for me. After running the command
conda config --remove-key channels
in the Anaconda Prompt, everything started working for me on my next attempt.
Adding that I had the same problem on ubuntu on WSL. None of the solutions worked for me, until I realized I was working on WSL version 1 (I thought I'd already upgraded). Upgrading from WSL 1 to WSL 2 solved the problem for me.
Running following these two commands worked for me.
conda config --remove-key proxy_servers
conda clean --source-cache
I'd tried all of the advice on this and many other webpages.
In the end I broadcast a "help me Obiwan Kenobi, you're my only hope message" to a large group of people at work and one of them who used python all the time was able to help me
The trick was to set several windows environmental variables
CURL_CA_BUNDLE
REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE
SSL_CERT_FILE
To my company's root certificate (a .cer or .crt) which I had downloaded to a spot on my disk
You may also need to add (in my case)
C:\Users\kdalbey\Anaconda3\Scripts
(or your particular \Anaconda3\Scripts) to your path.
And then I set proxies just for good measure
note I previously copied libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll, libcrypto-1_1-x64.pdb, libssl-1_1-x64.dll, libssl-1_1-x64.pdb from anaconda3\Library\bin to anaconda3\DLLs so that could be part of the secret sauce
and it didn't work until I killed and restarted anaconda-navigator
Two steps to deal with this error.
The Anaconda prompt configures the path, to include all the necessary executable files (for instance Library\bin - On Windows, launch it with admin permission). So that you need to use it to execute conda :
Update conda with conda update conda
Exit my proxy software which solved the issue.
I would like summarize some of the proposed answers in this post and propose my experience on that. As it can be understood from the error explanation, the error is related to the connection and I strongly believe that no need to uninstall and reinstall anything if the real cause of the problem be known. My problem gone away after the system powered off and powered on again one day later. So, some possible causes and their solutions (these solutions could be tested in order based on the written bulleted order) could be as follows:
Crash in anaconda prompt:
Probable solutions:
Deactivating and activating the environment, without removing all packages or …, or
Closing/reopening the prompt (Michael Heidelberg) or
Using cmd.exe instead, perhaps
Non-responsiveness of the anaconda site:
Massive site traffics related probable issues, that could be the reason of non-responsiveness or to temporary block some IPs
Probable solutions:
Retying as recommended in the error: HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way. It solves my problem sometimes. or
Activate or deactivate VPNs or Proxies (like use in .condarc; see: Github sroder, Nandhan Thiravia, Vinod Sangale, Peter Lucas, Sunding Wei).
Try after a while if you have time
System firewall block the site:
That might be happened by activating and deactivating of VPNs, repeatedly or by some other works
Probable solutions:
Finding the issue in system firewall and allowing the connection in the firewall settings (ScienceJedi, Github)
Reboot, perhaps
If the aforementioned ways didn't solve the problem, testing the related answers in the following order:
Add ...\Anaconda3\Scripts, ...\Anaconda3\, and ...\Anaconda3\Library\bin to the path (talentcat, skerjj, Victor Ochieng, jankap), perhaps need a reboot after (lightarrow)
Copying libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll from D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin into D:\Anaconda3\DLLs (Swapnil)
I think it could be used in the first step because It is unlikely to be cause of any other problem. The reason I didn't mention this at the beginning is that the developers could placed these files in that directory during installation, too, in default, but they didn't; perhaps it had some reasons (Github).
Note: these files are for Python >3, and I didn't find them for Python 2. Perhaps they have another names.
It must be said that my problem didn't solve by this solution.
Keep your SSL stack up-to-date (kamal dua, Anaconda troubleshooting, update openssl, Abdulrahman Bres, Update to openssl 1.1.1)
I didn't recommend it at first because Its not a good idea to unset ssl verification unless you know what you are doing (Pratyush comment) and somewhere I read that it couldn't return to True again.
It must be said that my problem didn't solve by this solution, too.
conda config --set ssl_verify false
conda update openssl ca-certificates certifi

R Global Options Git/SVN Location Problem

As the previous version of this question was profoundly vague due to my lack of knowledge of Git, let me revise it so that I can be more clear about the problem I am encountering. 
Today, I opened a new GitHub repository by cloning its link from Github to R Studio version control so that I could paste the new repository’s link to Git and therefore start to make a new website. However, when I tried this, I received this error, which opened a new page. It was saying that
"Git was not detected on the system path. To create projects from Git repositories, you should install Git and then restart R Studio. Note that if Git is installed and not on the path, then you can specify its location using the Preferences dialog". 
As Git was installed on my PC, I am using MacOS, I thought the problem was with the path. To solve it, I tried to change the Git's location from the R Studio -> Preferences -> Git/SVN panel. While I am not sure what its initial location was, I changed it to ~/Desktop/GitHub Desktop.app. After I did this, and as the problem was not solved, I searched the web and saw that the location should be something like usr/bin/git. I tried to reformat the location as usr/bin/git but I could not since I could not find usr file in the location. When I later posted the question in this forum, one of the users kindly asked me to check the version of my Git. To this end, I wrote the git --version in the mac's terminal and I received this error:
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
I searched this error on the web and I looked at several solutions.
One of them was advising to run xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools but when I did this, I received this error
xcode-select: error: invalid developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools'
By editing this post, I tried to be specific as much as I could, but as previously stated, since I do not know Git very much, the question might still be vague. 

cannot set up PAT authentication for git on linux server via rstudio

I have access to a Linux server at work where I code in RStudio. Recently, the pull/push buttons have been greyed out in the git pane, and I also haven't updated from basic password authentication which I know GitHub is deprecating soon. However, I can't get it to accept a PAT, and clearly this repository has gotten unlinked from GitHub somehow.
When I run git remote -v from the terminal, I see the correct repository and branches.
When I run gitcreds::gitcreds_set() from R, it shows my correct GH username, and that it has saved a password. It then gives me an option to replace the credentials, but when I put in a new PAT (shown below as XXXXXX), I get an error:
-> What would you like to do?
1: Keep these credentials
2: Replace these credentials
3: See the password / token
Selection: 2
-> Removing current credentials...
? Enter new password or token: XXXXXXXX
Error in new_git_error("git_error", args = args, stdout = out, status = attr(out, :
System git failed: error: unknown option `get-urlmatch'
usage: git config [options]
I tried googling this error but haven't come across anything useful. Thanks in advance for any ideas. I imagine that fixing the git connection will also fix the greyed-out push/pull buttons in RStudio.
The --get-urlmatch option to git config first appeared in Git version 1.8.5. While any modern Linux system will ship with a Git version of at least 2.0, there are a bunch of rather old systems that still come with Git 1.8 or even 1.7 variants.
There might be a way to work around this in RStudio, but your best bet is probably to get a newer Git version installed on the system. Git is generally pretty backwards-compatible although there were a few user-interface-default changes between 1.x and 2.0 (and there's another one coming up, though I doubt anyone will call this 3.0).

Why does GitAhead give this error on fetch/pull?

I am using GitAhead on an existing repo, and trying to pull or fetch to get updates.
GitAhead is giving me this error:
Unable to fetch from 'origin' - config value 'autoupdate.enable' was not found
Git itself doesn't seem to have this config parameter .. so not sure what GitAhead is expecting.
Appreciate any pointers/solutions.
It looks like this is a config parameter of GitAhead so it might be an internal bug. Does it happen with the latest version of GitAhead / any existing git repository?
The developer might help you / fix the bug if you raise an issue.
I have been using GitAhead for a while, but mainly for viewing the merge graphs. I just tried using GitAhead to do a pull, and I ran into this problem as well.
I couldn't find any solutions online, but I found that GitAhead (version 2.62.2 on CentOS 7.8) does not understand:
ssh://hostname/path_to_repo
I get the error in the original question.
However, the solution for me was to use the following URL when cloning from a remote repository:
git clone user_id#hostname:/path_to_repo
After creating another clone with this URL, I'm able to pull in GitAhead.

Meteor stuck at Extracting meteor-tool#1.4.0-1

I am having an issue where I do meteor run in my project, and it begins to install meteor-tool#1.4.0-1, once it is 100%, it says
Extracting meteor-tool#1.4.0-1...
but it never finishes. I uninstalled meteor and reinstalled it but I am having the same issue.
United State.
Windows 10.
This is a problem caused by the tar extractor provided by Git.
Find where is located the tar tool used by your system, running:
$ where tar
In my case, it is located in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\tar.exe
Then locate the file and rename it to tar.exe.old
Its done... try running Meteor again! >> $ meteor
Thank you for your response, Vasil. I actually was able to find a solution and I am no longer experiencing this problem.
Turned out there was a problem with the tar.exe file in Git, and by uninstalling Git, and reinstalling it the latest version, 2.10.0.windows.1, the problem has seemed to go away.
It seemed that no matter how long I left it, it stayed stuck at "Extracting meteor-tools . . ." but now that I updated Git the problem has gone away.
Try adding the following to your local hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts):
54.192.225.217 warehouse.meteor.com
Then run a meteor reset in your app directory (warning - will wipe your local DB), then try starting your app again.
This works for me.
