Hue make apps failing to complete due to desktop.db error

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 amd64 and after using the command make apps in the hue directory, I am getting the following error.

Finally figure this out. That is, to make apps, the ini configuration file in desktop/conf/ shall be the same as the default template. Simply run rm -f desktop/conf/*.ini && cp desktop/conf/pseudo-distributed.ini.tmpl desktop/conf/pseudo-distributed.ini before make apps will do the job.

Hi @drag0nglass, I have failed to reproduce the issue since I am no longer using that setup. If this has worked for you on the same issue then your solution should close the issue. I’ll wait for your update before proceeding.
