Hey everyone, hope you're doing fine.

I tried to connect my Desktop Github ( Version 3.2.9-linux1 (x64) ) to my account so to publish my repository, only to be met by an error message : "user interaction failed".

Here is the image :

To sign in the Desktop app, the identification must be made on a browser. I've tried connecting with Brave Browser and Firefox, I got the same results with both.

Now this is very annoying because i really like Linux, and really like Github, and i don't want to have to chose one over the other. It seems that other discussions with people that have faced the same error have been opened before but ended up quickly closed, due to "Github only being officially supported on Mac and Windows". I have found no answer or fix trough browsing those discussions. I'm making this post because it seems not to be an isolated problem.

Replicate my method : Create repository in folder / Publish repository / Sign in / Connect in browser / Allow Github Desktop to be opened by browser / error : user interaction failed

System :
Nobara Linux 36
Kde Plasma 5.27.4

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @Patacloko !

We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category, the Projects and Issues category is solely related to conversations around the GitHub products Issues and Projects. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

This worked for me to login:
In flatseal enable "D-bus session bus" this will allow you to sign in.
When launching chrome kde wallet will prompt you to add an encryption key. Just cancel and allow the github login.
I would disable the session bus afterwards.
