Stuck on "Waiting for authorization..."

[Octanum]

Describe the bug

New Ubuntu VM installed, only installed copilot and tried to do the login process, but just hangs on that authorization message. I don't think this has anything to do with the VM, but I'll mention the details as well.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 0.0.418.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

• Create a new VM using "ubuntu-24.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso".
• Install using the command "wget -qO- https://gh.io/copilot-install | bash" as curl was not installed.
• Ran the install script a second time because I forgot about reopening terminal to make "copilot" command work.
• Start a new terminal session, run copilot and then "/login" after the initial trust folder prompts.
• Visit https://github.com/login/device and complete the process.
• Message on website shows successful, but copilot in the VM is just stuck on "Waiting for authorization..." with no progress. Text flickers occasionally.

Expected behavior

Login should be successful.

I'm going to swap away from Ubuntu to Debian due to general stability issues, won't be able to test easily. Will create a new issue if problem continues.

The lesson here is don't use an Ubuntu VM. Switched to Debian with a GUI and it worked just fine. Maybe Unraid makes a difference here, but this isn't the first time I've had major stability issues on Ubuntu.
