Hello I'm using rclone:
rclone v1.51.0

  • os/arch: linux/amd64
  • go version: go1.13.7

I've been seeing this error in the log:
ERROR : Failed to open Web GUI in browser: exec: "xdg-open": executable file not found in $PATH. Manually access it at:

I only have a debian server without GUI. This is normal?

What command are you trying to run?

Hello

rclone copyto /source/file remote:destination/file --stats=1000m --rc --rc-addr 0.0.0.0:5572 --rc-user admin --rc-pass admin --rc-web-gui --log-file /tmp/debug.log --log-level INFO

Can you share the full log with INFO changed to DEBUG?

That is rclone trying to open your web browser pointing at the GUI because you used the --rc-web-gui flag. If you don't want it to attempt to open a web browser then use

  --rc-web-gui-no-open-browser   Don't open the browser automatically

The ERROR is harmless though.
