brz crashed with launchpadlib.credentials.TokenAuthorizationTimedOut in wait_for_end_user_authorization(): Timed out after 900 seconds.

[Doug Smythies]

It seems to have crashed after a timeout period of 900 seconds. I don't know what it wanted or why, as I was merely trying to tell bzr my user name in the very same way I have been doing for over a decade. I do not know why some request for interaction with a browser was being asked for. (I'll have to add it later, from a different computer).

I do not know why does this (the first line is normal and is present for context, the second isn't):

doug@desk-nn:~$ bzr whoami "Doug Smythies <email address hidden>"
doug@desk-nn:~$ bzr launchpad-login dsmythies
The authorization page:
 (https://launchpad.net/+authorize-token?oauth_token=... hidden...S&allow_permission=DESKTOP_INTEGRATION)
should be opening in your browser. Use your browser to authorize
this program to access Launchpad on your behalf.
Waiting to hear from Launchpad about your decision...

What browser? Where? anyway, I didn't observe anything anywhere, and wasn't actually using the desktop. This was an SSH session from another computer.

While I am following my own notes to do this work, they would have started from here:
https://help.launchpad.net/BzrHowto

[Doug Smythies (dsmythies)]

I figured out that I can copy and paste the link into any browser on any computer and then give permission for "this program to access Launchpad on your behalf".
Therefore I am able to continue with my work.
