Re-authentication in 1.5, and it needs a GUI

[gauteh]

Think the remaining issue is fixed

[gauteh]

Yes, sorry about that. Gmi basically didn't work for new users, and I didn't have more resources to deal with a smoother migration.

[barak]

Okay, I'll put a little explanation in the README.Debian file.

@barak With gmi init I had the same problem. I copied the link thrown out by gmi and used it on another machine with google login to authenticate. The google login tries to go back to localhost:8080 with the authenticated response link. I copied that and pasted in the ssh session within elinks (text browser). It worked.

Thanks! Now I have some actual text for the README.

Can this issue be closed?

[barak]

I'm still having an issue where it works, but authenticates, which requires being under a GUI. But if I try again, it wants to re-authenticate. So I can't do a gmi pull without a GUI, or without manually authenticating.

Perhaps this is due to Debian's remarkably ancient google auth python package.

[gauteh]

Ok. So it is the same as #258 ?

[barak]

Yes, I think so. Need to test the fix proposed there, but the machine I "gmi pull" from is my desktop at work and it's winter break...
