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
