Dashboard links not clickable in Linux terminals

[utgarda]

Bug Report

Summary

--no-dashboard mode provides clickable links, like those one for cockpit. But in dashboard mode I can't click links and copy&pasting is inaccessible too - for some reason, can't highlight things with a mouse. Tried in every accessible terminal, my desktop is KDE

Current behavior

➜  crypto uname -a
Linux jotunheim 5.5.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat, 29 Feb 2020 19:06:02 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux
➜  crypto node --version
v13.9.0
➜  crypto embark --version
5.2.3

How to reproduce

1. install latest embark
2. embark demo && cd embark_demo && embark run

Expected behavior

clickable cockpit link

If you encounter an error, please create a logfile using the following command and post the output here

$ embark run --nodashboard --logfile log.txt --loglevel trace

Hi @utgarda

If the link is not clickable you can try the following:

1. With the dashboard, type in the console token, this will generate and automatically copy to the clipboard the token, so then you can go to http://localhost:55555 in your browser and paste that token to login.

2. Alternatively it is possible to select and copy paste (with the dashboard), but this method can vary depending on the system. for example on macs, it's possible with pressing the option key, selecting then ctrl+c. in some cases using tmux this requires leader-key + escape, then selecting while pressing option. in linux there is likely a variant of this. I don't have acess to a linux machine right now to try it out but have done it successfully in the past.

I hope this helps!
