Arch Linux User Repository

ATTN: The hard dependency on gnome-keyring has finally been relaxed. I have not tested this thoroughly; your mileage may vary.

For whom it may concern: this package depends on Shiftkey's linux support fork, located at https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/

I check this regularly for releases. If you want the newest version, I suggest you check out github-desktop-git and modify the PKGBUILD to use the base repository, with the understanding that the application takes a significant amount of RAM to build.

@fanninpm thanks, I'll try to switch and say if it helps

@Raiden0456 I experienced a similar problem with vscodium-bin, and I solved it by switching over to the Chaotic-AUR for a time.

@fanninpm yes i did a pacman -Sc and checked cache folder for any remaining cache files, sadly this did not help. it seems like something is wrong with sha256sums first long number.

@Raiden0456 have you tried cleaning the package cache for both pacman and your AUR helper?

After the last update always prints the following error when trying to build:

I had a problem with the login. After I pressed the "login with browser" button. The Auth site popped up then it redirected me to the github dektop app, but it is loaded for ever. And it gave me this in logs :

System: Manjaro 21.2.3

Tried browsers:

Vivaldi Chromium I tried these two AUR packages, they both produced the same problem: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/github-desktop-bin https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/github-desktop

Update: Tried Versions: (github-desktop-bin) 2.9.0 worked 2.9.6 worked 2.9.9(1) NOT worked 2.9.9(2) NOT worked

Solution: If you login in the 2.9.6 version and then you install the 2.9.9 ver. The system remembers you and you can use the 2.9.9 verson. (Just don't logout, because you can't log back in the 2.9.9 ver)

@fanninpm Be that as it may, org.freedesktop.secrets can work perfectly under my test.

@daregakimeta It was added in explicitly as a dependency. C.f. https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/issues/180

Does this really require gnome-keyring? If it only needs org.freedesktop.secrets, this should probably be adjusted since e.g. keepassxc does provide org.freedesktop.secrets as well.
