Hello! Can I ask if you're using GCM installed in Windows (accessed via WSL), or GCM installed in the Ubuntu distribution?

[mjcheetham]

Also if you're using GCM as installed inside of the Ubuntu distribution, can you check if any of the following commands are installed (at least one is required to be able to launch your browser):

• xdg-open
• gnome-open
• kfmclient
• wslview

[garysassano]

@mjcheetham GCM is installed in Windows and configured as described in Microsoft's Docs.

Are you using GitLab.com or a self-hosted, or other instance?

[garysassano]

The domain is gitlab.<org>.co, it's the GitLab Community Edition.

[mjcheetham]

Have you configured your GitLab instance, and GCM to support OAuth/browser authentication? Only GitLab.com comes configured out of the box. GitLab doesn't include a GCM OAuth application on self-hosted instances.

I see, I would need to ask since I don't manage the organization. I just use Okta Dashboard to log into everything.
