When i click the checkbox in the desktop-UI labeled “IPFS command line tools”, i get a popup asking for authentication from PolicyKit to run /usr/bin/env. When i enter the correct password, a second popup gets displayed: My account is part of the sudo group, and root has a password set…

When i try to run ipfs-desktop-0.9.0-beta.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage, i get

I will try to remove left-overs and try again.

• rm -f ~/.local/share/{applications,icons/**}/*ipfs*
• rm -fR ~/.config/IPFS\ Desktop
• Now i get:

Edit 2

I forgot to do

• `rm -fR ~/.ipfs But results stay same…

Seems #727 needs more work… Ping #951 to notice this log…
