Hi @Alysson Freitas

Using Bottles/Wine ODC may work partially, but I think it is not reliable. Which browser are you trying to use inside Bottles (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.)? Also, does ODC Studio show any specific error message when it tries to open the browser for login? 
I would suggest you use a Windows VM or remote machine.

Hello @Alysson Freitas 

I am no expert in using Bottles (Have to change that lol), but let me ask you this.

I did a small search and found the following possibilities.

If you have bottles from Flatpack, it may not be configured to access the host and so Bottles can't launch the Browser when ODC asks it for the login. I think you can use Flatseal to manage Flatpack permissions.

Another possibility is a missing a XDG Portal (required to allow the app inside bottles to launch http and https links).

Also, wine configuration inside Bottles may need to be configured with xdg-open.

Well, hope this can get you on the right track. I will also try to make it work, as I want to ditch Windows if I can ;) hehe

Cheers!

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies.I will test the options presented. I know the virtual machine will work normally, but then it ends up being on Windows, and I already have an SSD with Windows running.

The ODC installed normally in Bottles, however, to do the LoLin' it doesn't find the browser even with a browser in the same Bottle.I will test it and report back on how it went.
