See original GitHub issue

Description

just installed the .deb version from https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/tag/release-1.0.11 it installed fine but fails to log in to my github account consistently, and shows the error screenshot_20171214_080239

then I tried the “Sign in using you browser” but that also fails and shows screenshot_20171214_080620

Version

GitHub Desktop version: 1.0.11

OS version: image

Steps to Reproduce

  1. install
  2. try to login
  3. fail to login

Expected behavior: log in somehow Actual behavior: doesn’t log in

Reproduces how often: 100%

Logs

couldn’t find logs in ~/GitHub Desktop which is where I expected them to be. so these are the logs in the devtools image and judging from the network tab, it seems i was successfully authenticated by the server

Found this extra context for the first error:

keytar uses libsecret, which is a frontend to gnome-keyring. KWallet does not support org.freedesktop.secrets just installed the package gnome-keyring and everything workes fine

I’m not sure how feasible that is for your use case, but I also don’t have enough familiarity with whether there’s an alternative to gnome-keyring that’s more suitable (KWallet/KSecretService support seems to be an ongoing discussion).

I’m going to close this out because this is outside the scope of GitHub Desktop. I’d recommend looking for alternatives to KWallet for KDE systems, but I don’t seem to be able to find any based on a quick google search.
