Same, the wine script version doesn't open the browser for me either

The reason for this is that the installation variant under Bottles (Flatpak) is out of date and important patches are missing that are already available in the normal installation variant (without Flatpak!). But I should also say that I do not support the Flatpak variant myself! Instead, it is maintained by a user from my community.

Or just make the normal version open the web browser for both of us

Could the flatpak version be colliding in some way with the wine version? Because we both first tried the flatpak version, didnt work, and now we cant get the wine version to open the browser.

Thanks

@ficolas2 Theoretically not. But I just don't know what exactly was programmed.

[ficolas2]

I see. Anything we could do to debug this?
Im not familiar with wine stuff
My adskidmr-opener.desktop file, in .local/share/applications, is

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=adskidmgr Scheme Handler
Exec=sh -c 'env WINEPREFIX="/home/nicolas/.autodesk_fusion/wineprefixes/default" wine "$(find /home/nicolas/.autodesk_fusion/wineprefixes/default/ -name "AdskIdentityManager.exe" | head -1 | xargs -I '{}' echo {})" "%u"'
StartupNotify=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/adskidmgr;

When I open that program, the adskIndentityManager.exe, with wine, something does seem to open.

Workaround:

1. open the login page
2. select the "Go to product" button in the web inspector, and copy the URL it leads to
3. open your bottle's command line
4. cd into C:\Program Files\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\<LONG_ID_HERE>\Autodesk Identity Manager (there's two folders in the production folder for me, the Autodesk Identity Manager is in one of them)
5. execute ./AdskIdentityManager.exe "COPIED_URL_HERE"

I did this but when I return it tries to sign me back in but it fails to do so and it is just the fusion 360 start up screen with signing in at the bottom. Did I do something wrong or are there ways to fix this?

I now have Fusion360 installed through bottles authenticating and logging in properly. The issue is that the bottle does not have a .desktop file and associated mime type to pass the authentication url back to AdskIdentityManager.exe in the bottle and the .desktop created by the criyinkfly install script will not work for the bottles install. It was easy enough to create the correct .desktop file, the additional issue however is that for whatever strange reason bottles-cli called in the exec= section of the .desktop would not accept the -a argument for "%u" and will only accept --args. If there is enough interest I can do a step by step procedure to get it working if people are still having issues.

I would love to see a step by step tutorial! I think most of the linux users that use fusion and every user in the future with this issue would love that.

I was able to register it manually by ➜ ~ cat .local/share/applications/adskidmgr-opener.desktop and copying the command in single quotes replace %u with the token url "adskidmgr:/login?code=xxxxxx"

make sure env WINEPREFIX and executable is in the same line

[Clumsy-Coder]

NOTE: if your installing Fusion360 via the script (NOT via Flatpak Bottles) in install scripts and are stuck in the login.

NOTE: at the time the installation directory is ~/.autodesk_fusion

Do the following

1. Run Fusion360
2. Open login page and login
3. Right click the "Go to product" and copy link
4. Open terminal and run the following command

WINEPREFIX="/home/YOUR_USER/.autodesk_fusion/wineprefixes/default" wine "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\webdeploy\production\LONG_ID_HERE\Autodesk Identity Manager\AdskIdentityManager.exe" "COPIED_LINK"

• make sure to replace YOUR_USER with your user in the computer.
  • run whoami if not sure
• make sure to replace LONG_ID_HERE with the id in your directory.
  • Check ~/.autodesk_fusion/wineprefixes/default/drive_c/Program\ Files/Autodesk/webdeploy/production/
• make sure to replace COPIED_LINK with the link copied when launching Go to product.
  • check step 3
