See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When logging into GitHub desktop the application hangs

Version & OS

2.9.9-linux2 (github-desktop-bin on the aur) Arch Linux (fresh install)

What I’ve tried

2 browsers (firefox and brave) Reinstalling the program adding:

source /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/50-systemd-user.sh &
eval $(/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start) &
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK &

assuming it was a keyring issue (which it wasnt)

Note: These reports are mostly about Arch Linux. This is probably just because 2.9.9 is in the AUR but is not yet in the deb/rpm repos.

Update: Yes. Definitely not an Arch-specific issue.

For Flatpak users, you can downgrade to 2.9.6 on this commit:

sudo flatpak update --commit=cfe12885e04a5e10a911f51847c194391479ba7e8389f1ffcce63bfc26eb910e io.github.shiftey.Desktop

(Mind that the commit used by the flatpak is different from the repository, see instructions on downgrading).

Once I finished the authentication and updated to 2.9.9, it still works.
