google-drive-ocamlfuse hangs on start wth empty configs

[muwlgr]

running : google-drive-ocamlfuse -debug -id [email protected] /tmp/mtpt with empty initial configs gives :

Starting application setup (label=default, base_dir=). [0.000076] TID=0: Loading configuration from /home/user1/.gdfuse/default/config...done Opening log file: /home/user1/.gdfuse/default/gdfuse.log

viewing /home/user1/.gdfuse/default/gdfuse.log gives :

[0.010862] TID=0: Setting up default filesystem... [0.010902] TID=0: BEGIN: Saving configuration in /home/user1/.gdfuse/default/config [0.013184] TID=0: END: Saving configuration in /home/user1/.gdfuse/default/config [0.013286] TID=0: Loading application state from /home/user1/.gdfuse/default/state...done Current version: 0.7.27 Docs mode not changed!

then it hangs indefinitely, does not ask my google password, does not open browser, nothing at all.

My system is Ubuntu 22.04 dev.branch, apt source : deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/alessandro-strada/ppa/ubuntu impish main

any ideas on how could I start using google-drive-ocamlfuse ? Remember it worked somewhere in Jan 2016 on Ubuntu 14.04.

Took my Ubuntu 20.04 system on which it worked when it was 14.04 (since then upgraded to 16.04, 18.04 and 20.04); installed focal build of g-d-o-fuse on it, got the same effect. Are you guys ever testing it ? With empty configs ? With configs created long ago ? With empty $DISPLAY, or with browser openers potentially non-working in different ways ? How can I learn what browser-opener it tried to run ? Or why it did not try to run it ?

You can use -browser command switch to specify a custom browser (run google-drive-ocamlfuse -help to get all the options). Otherwise, you can try with the headless authorization if you need to open the browser on a different host: https://github.com/astrada/google-drive-ocamlfuse/wiki/Headless-Usage-&-Authorization
