More debugging instalooter just seems to fail to login.

instalooter login

Just sits there with no output after the password is entered.

Solved, the new version I installed on instalooter needed a reboot in order for the user agent to be set.

A reboot of they system and the issue went away.

i have the same issue. OS: ubuntu server and reboot didn't fix that problem. does anybody face this issue?

@abdoljabbar You likely need to add a user agent string to the directory ~/.cache/instalooter/<VERSION>/user-agent.txt. When running on a machine w/ access to a browser, this is retrieved. On Ubuntu server, you need to add the user agent manually.
