webbrowser.get() can hang and should be timeouted

https://github.com/Keeper-Security/Commander/blob/fe9c026e600f6d60cc636e30ae1546436df18d03/keepercommander/auth/console_ui.py#L264C18-L264C28

webbrowser.get() under some circumstances (my case is WSL2 and wslu from Flox) can hang indefinetelly on xdg-settings:

xdg-settings get default-web-browser will just not return anything

This will render UI blank until interrupted with "ctrl+c", then normal keeper UI proceeds

There are multiple issues (e.g microsoft/WSL#8892) touching the subject on the topic but I believe timeouting it will be easiest as there is an Exception catcher there anyway.

Thanks for shedding light on this issue. Upgrading to Commander v16.11.3 or higher should fix it.

I don't think this will fix it as 6d15bdb as you will never go out from line 264

From my own testing, webbrowser.get() does not hang when xdg-open is not configured properly (i.e., is using the default WSL xdg settings), but does hang when wb.open_new_tab(url) is called. This change is intended to prevent the latter from happening if a mis-configuration is detected.
If you have stack-trace evidence contrary to that, I'd be more than happy to see it.

When it breaks:

I'm not entirely sure what that script is supposed to show.
Yes, calling webbrowser.get() does result in a call to xdg-settings get default-web-browser, but when no suitable browser is found, it returns nothing but does not hang (which is what I'm assuming your timeout replacement for the xdg-settings call is meant to simulate).
Are you seeing something different? What do you get if you call xdg-settings get default-web-browser under the scenario described above?

@aaunario-keeper exactly, there are problems with dbus on WSL and dbus-send that xdg-settings bash script uses to detect if perhaps browser is set in Gnome Settings manager is hanging -

for testing purpose I replaced whole script with sleep but it's hanging on the line I pasted here
