I'm having an issue with GitHub Desktop when trying to clone a repo on SteamOS.

It's a new Steam Deck. Fairly fresh out of the box. I installed GitHub Desktop from the Discover store.

  • In GitHub Desktop, I click Clone a repository from the internet.
  • It brings up a modal window entitled Clone a repository
  • The modal has some options, I leave it set to the default of GitHub.com
  • The button invites me to Sign in
  • On clicking Sign in another modal invites me to sign in using my browser
  • On clicking Continue with browser a new tab is opened in chrome (github.com/login/oauth/authorize...)
  • Chrome invites me to open xdg-open
  • When I do that I'm redirected back to GitHub Desktop.
  • There's an error 
    Can't find session /org/freedesktop/secrets/session/2

I've tried googling for an answer without success. How can I solve it?

  • No idea how to resolve, but have you tried using git in a terminal as a workaround? Commented Mar 1, 2023 at 15:29
  • I actually tried using the terminal first. I had issues setting up a credentials store, hence trying the app instead. Commented Mar 1, 2023 at 16:48
