I am using the GeForce NOW native Linux app and nothing happens after clicking the “GET IN” button while attempting GeForce NOW login.  How do I fix this?

The GeForce NOW app requires members to log in through a web browser. If you only see a progress indicator and do not see a login page open in your default browser, follow the steps below.
 
  • Check your default browser for a newly opened GeForce NOW login tab. The application may have opened the browser without bringing it to the foreground.
  • If no new tab is visible, verify that the xdg-open command works on your system. This requires the xdg-utils package, which is usually preinstalled on most Linux distributions.

         xdg-open http://www.google.com
         Output: Load Google.com in default browser
     
  • If xdg-open fails to open google.com in your default browser, it indicates that xdg-open is not working correctly and needs to be installed.

         Ubuntu / Linux Mint / Debian

         sudo apt update

         sudo apt install xdg-utils
