can't login on KDE

[igalic]

(either #19 ;)
I traced this one down to bryanl/webbrowser#2 however.

@igalic I created a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install, and download the 1.0.0 release and ran doctl auth login. Firefox popped up, and logged me in. Afterwards, the access token was retrieved. Would you mind describing your setup, so I can help you diagnose?

[igalic]

I'm very sorry, i thought this issue was universal to xdg-open, but apparently it's not.
so, i think we need to narrow this down to: KDE.

Could you process auth without using X11 and browser?

[bryanl]

Yes, if a CLIAUTH environment variable is set, it'll reply with a link you can visit in your browser. An easier method is to generate a token at https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/api/tokens, and add it to $HOME/.doctlcfg manually. The file format is yaml, so you'll add it like

access-token: <your token>

In a future version, there will be a command to manage configuration items.

We've decided to replace the doctl auth login with doctl auth init. It's being tracked in #94.
