It's likely there's something not set up right about the protocol handlers that's causing the App Image build to not handle the |

I have the same problem in Linux Mint and I created issue #405. When I tried it in Opera, a pop-up window with the text "open in xdg-open" appeared. But when I clicked the "Open" button, nothing happened. |

@omerasif57 I don't believe that's the same issue as this. I think we lack the ability to connect up the |

I have this issue in a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04.2, GNOME with GitHub Desktop v 2.6.3-linux1. Using Chrome Version 89.0.4389.47 (Official Build) beta (64-bit). I believe I have found that the issue is the |

@thwaller can you confirm that you're using the AppImage? |
|
@thwaller cool, sounds like we've got some cases that are not the AppImage (and just PopOS being out of date) so it's hard to keep this focused on that area. |

i have same Solus Linux + Chrome, Firefox, and Brave not working |

Need to install the correct MIME type. It correctly installs

Interesting. When I have a moment, I will test this by adding the MIME type you state to my system. Thanks for sharing. |

Same problem on Pop OS! Can't even login directly from the app (without redirecting to browser). In logs: 2021-02-28T19:27:21.798Z - info: [ui] [Welcome] kind Authentication is the same as Authentication. ignoring... |
|
Same issue here on Pop!_OS 20.10, is there a way to bypass and manually authenticate? |
|
Any fix? having the same issue on Manjaro Linux 64 bit Xfce 4.16 with AppImage |
|
I've published an update that should resolve this - |
Unfortunately I received the same errors for Brave and Firefox. Nothing seemed to change on my end. |
|
Manjaro + Firefox + AppImage(2.8)/AUR Package(2.7.1), same issue. |
|
Same issue with the .deb package This time, I tried to do that manually by downloading release from gh since url exceeded its monthly bandwidth limit. I got this. Tested with: Firefox 78.10.0esr and Falkon 3.0.0 |
|
A little update. I managed to do authentication. Since I could do authentication on a fresh install of Debian, I took my firefox profile files and placed them into firefox folder of my main OS. Issue was still there but, I hope that it will help with troubleshooting or as workaround. |
Works for me, however you have to manually select the appimage file when it asks, simply clicking "open link" with GitHub Desktop selected in the available applications doesn't work. Edit: I also installed the snap of brave browser and tested that, and that is still seeing issues, especially as Brave doesn't allow to manually select an app to open the link with. However there appears to be some progress as focus of the window is returned to GitHub Desktop when the link is opened in brave. Nothing more happens though, just waits indefinitely. |
i think thats the limitation of appimages , the Browser is expecting GitHub Desktop to be installed as a traditional package and not as an appimage , that's why you have to specify the appimage |
