LiveServer showing blank white screen - visual-studio-code

I have a very basic React site that I’m building. I'm using VS Code. When I run npm run start in the terminal, the site opens up properly and I can see the site. If I try to open the index.html file with LiveServer, though, it opens http://127.0.0.1:5500/public/index.html and shows just a blank white page. Then, if I go to http://127.0.0.1:5500/index.html, I see a white screen stating “Cannot GET /index.html”. I’ve googled a bit to try to find an answer there, but haven’t been able to find an answer that fixes it yet. Hoping someone here might have an idea. Thanks in advance!

How to disable the "Get Started" tab in Theia before the first execution?

I have a Theia IDE built in a docker.
Every time I launch a new docker and open a python file for the first time, I got some annoying pop-up:
A new tab: Python - Get Started
A pop up: Linter pylint not installed
Both have a Do not show again option. However, it does not work in my use case because every time a user connects, he will get a new Docker.
I tried to look in the settings and preferences but could not find where to disable these pop-ups.
I also tried to look at the settings files (launch.json for example) after having clicked the Do not show again button but nothing change.
The perfect solution for me would be to add a line in the launch.json file to tell Theia to never display those pop-up in the first place but I am not sure it is possible.
If you know a way to do it (in the launch.json or another way) I would be pleased to hear it!
If you know how to do it in VS code I would also be pleased to hear about it as Theia took a lot from VS code
Thanks!
I finally found the answer by observing which files were changed last on the docker.
I found out that you have to write "python.showStartPage": false in /home/theia/.theia/settings.json
However, it was not enough, I also had to add some lines in /home/theia/.theia/plugin-storage/global-state.json.
I don't know which lines exactly as I just copied-pasted the full file from a previous execution. But I would guess that it is one of the lines beginning with gettingStarted.overrideCategory

Why is GitHub Desktop not letting me interact with it?

It's been a while since I've used my GitHub Desktop, on Windows 10, but when I decided to try and open it again I ran into a weird issue: GitHub Desktop wouldn't let me click on anything except the minimize, maximize, and close.
I've tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but that did not work.
Before the Login screen come up on the client, their is a screen that flashes before it that has the text:
Drop to clone long-repository-name
With some other words that are all on the same line overlapping each other.
I have tried looking online for anyone with a similar issue, but all I could find were authentication issues.
If anyone knows of a fix, or if I have clearly done something wrong please let me know.
Here is what it looks like.

This error keeps showing up on my desktop

This Javascript error keeps showing up on my desktop, and when i delete it another one will pop up.
Can anybody with knowledge about this please help me?
Oh the image is on Danish so yeah. Translated it says that there was a script-error with the script, and asks if i still want to play the script on this site.
Solution Found
Go to Control Panel
Go to Programs and Functions
See if there is any program that refers to the url-error-message you got, and if there is, delete it.
Note If the program is a program that you need to have for running your system or just an important program, don't delete it, there could be other ways to fix it.
Other ways to fix it
1. Start up the installer that you used to install the program, if there is a button that says "Repair software/program" or something like that; tap the button.
If there isn't a button that says "Repair software/program" (or something like that); try to install the program again.

Ubuntu 16.04 suddenly starts booting into Kodibuntu or something like it

Last week, I saw a dropdown next to the login field for Ubuntu with a few "boot options" or something like that, one of them being Kodi. I was curious and wanted to see what it was so I picked Kodi and rebooted. Nothing happened, and I forgot about it.
Today I had to reboot for another reason and Ubuntu is now booting into a fullscreen version of kodi (Kodibuntu?) with seemingly no way to exit. I can't alt-tab, I can't open a terminal (neither ctrl-alt-t or f1/f4 work). I looked in the system settings and I see no way to revert it. I can see that my document's are still there using Kodi's file browser but can't access any of them. I really need this fixed today, please help.
Check out this documentation on kodibuntu for how to swap back
you can exit the full screen version of kodibuntu by following the steps outlined in the link above.
Sorry if this is unclear but a screenshot would be useful to know what screen you're on.

Unable to uninstall github for mac

Github for mac is completely not working. It just brings up an xcode window with a 9 month old file in text editor.
So I tried to uninstall it using this gist:
https://gist.github.com/naomik/11245234
but it did not help: every time I go to a github link the same xcode useless window comes up.
When I click on Launch Application then the empty xcode window comes up.
If I click on Do Nothing then .. well nothing happens (it does not navigate to the github page !!)
Help needed badly on this.
Did you try to uninstall with CleanMyMac? I think it should clear all depending files so i think it can help.
