upg login on fresh linux vm without xdg-open cause error

[kaxing]

Trying out gsh and bumping into this inside a fresh vm; While there is no xdg-open installed.
Can be easily fix by install the package but figure might be good to put a note here.

Also, a very niche need, the callback url is using localhost, which qemu VM is not listening to the localhost, might be better UX if using outbound IP of the VM(?)

This should actually be fixed in upg latest, at least the failure to open the browser shouldn't throw and exit the process. Try upg update.

You would have to visit the link manually, but you said you can't use localhost?

[ctjlewis]

If you're on the latest upg and the xdg-open shit is still throwing lmk.

[kaxing]

Yeah, I had to use the local IP assigned from the bridge(I think).

Still happening when xdg-open is not in place.

Does this issue still matter with the new upg authorize command? Or is it something else we can address?

[kaxing]

@marinacabrera Yes, still happen with upg authorize

Not certain which component in upg is requiring xdg-open;
Here is an unsafe detour for not wanting to install xdg-utils:

sudo sh -c 'echo "/usr/bin/true" > /usr/bin/xdg-open; chmod +x /usr/bin/xdg-open'
