@Akira-Amatsume thank you, that was exactly the issue there was a stuck process. The UI crashed but the backend was still running. So even though chatgpt ui was showing the latest version the backend wasn't.

I just added MFA to the website but can't restart my client my local client to check just yet after that will check again.

You can probably unpin that message above as that old version being up there is confusing kept thinking I would have to downgrade to get astra working...

@NonaSuomy

  • chatgpt-desktop bundles its own codex-cli. For 26.901.51231, that's 0.153.4, so you don't need to install Codex separately. gpt-6-astra needs Codex version header 0.153.0 or newer, you can check the installed backend version and whether CODEX_CLI_PATH is set with:
/usr/lib/chatgpt/resources/codex --version
printenv CODEX_CLI_PATH

BTW, have you fully quit the app since updating it? Closing the window can still leave it running in the background, so it might still be using the old backend. Please quit it from the tray, reopen it and try again.

  • For Remote, that message means the app couldn't check your account's MFA requirements/status. You can check whether MFA is enabled on the chatgpt website under Settings → Security and login.

It could also be an upstream issue. There's a similar report where a Cloudflare challenge caused the MFA status check to fail with HTTP 403.

Also any ideas how to get the remote working?

Settings -> Coding -> Connections -> Control This PC -> Add

"Couldn't check security requirements, try again"

Seems it says I'm using 26.901.51231-1 but when I select Astra as the model it says I need a newer version... Any ideas why?

The 'gpt-6-astra' model requires a newer version of Codex. Please upgrade to the latest app or CLI and try again.

Is Codex a separate module?

Rechecked the upstream deb: Astra's visibility is set to hide in 26.901.41123. if you can't find it in your model list, upgrade to 26.901.41600 or run:

sed -i '0,/^\[/s/^model[[:space:]]*=.*/model = "gpt-6-astra"/' ~/.codex/config.toml

Thanks @Firestar for the feedback

@Firestar If you mean that astra doesn't show up at all, that depends on OpenAI's rollout schedule. As for me, now astra is already available in version 26.901.41123.

If you mean that astra isn't selected as the default model, that's determined by your ~/.codex/config.toml, not by this package. Also, once you've selected gpt-6 in a conversation, new conversations should automatically use it as well.

Firestar commented on 2026-09-05 06:29 (UTC)

its up to you @Akira-Amatsume Also, why I updated but not seen gpt-6 as default

Akira-Amatsume commented on 2026-09-02 16:47 (UTC)

@Firestar Thanks for the suggestion. But openai-codex-desktop provided and conflicted with the virtual package chatgpt, as does chatgpt-desktop, so I think adding conflicts=('openai-codex-desktop') might be a little redundant?

Firestar commented on 2026-09-02 11:15 (UTC)

Maybe you should add conflict=openai-codex-desktop?

@sanjayadanushka this is a binary package, there's nothing the maintainer can do here to implement features. Please contact support@openai.com for any questions / feature reports and bugs of this product.
