Hi!
Trying to start the bot client but it won't open any URLs in the browser.
I would manually open the browser but I have no clue what the url should be to open (probably some oauth authorize url?).

I've tried both Linux installer and the standalone jar client. Would be nice to see the URL of the login page the same as other urls are showing in the green bars on top.
Are there any other ways to login?

It (should) open a localhost URL, so I don't believe this is something that you can "guess" yourself.

Do you have a default browser set in your OS settings, or anything unusual that could be affecting the RuneMate client from opening a browser?

I could see the other URL's in the UI or in the console log from the jar application, and open them manually. Would be great to have that for the login too.

I'm not sure about the OS settings. I've looked around my xdg settings but everything seems to be in order, other apps like discord, slack, InteliJ etc have no problem opening the browser. I think it might be a JRE thing...

There is no way to start the jar with extra verbose logging or check logs for generated url to manually login to?

So I tried the Java client from official Runescape, it has the same issue with opening URLs but at least is shows me an option to get the url and open it myself:

I am having the exact same issue. Spent all day trying to figure it out. Could there be some login flags to pass the username/password or some other means of auth?

We added a feature in the latest release that should offer you a tooltip on how to login if opening the browser fails.

I saw that feature, appreciate it!
I ended up getting it working with a different desktop environment too. Not sure exactly what was the thing that fixed it unfortunately.
