I just tried to install GitKraken, but it doesn't run on Kubuntu 16.04.
When I run the program in terminal, I get the output:
state: update-not-available
App load time: 448ms
state: checking-for-update
At which point it freezes.
The linux_update file in /Home/.gitkraken contains the code:
{"update_url":"https://release.gitkraken.com/linux/RELEASES"}
Perhaps this is where the problem is occurring? The URL seems fine when I try to follow it myself. It simply is a download link for a RELEASES file that contains:
{"name":"1.4.1","url_deb":"http://release.gitkraken.com/linux/v1.4.1.deb","url_targz":"http://release.gitkraken.com/linux/v1.4.1.tar.gz"}
Any idea on why this is happening? Has anyone else experienced the same issue?
gitkraken -l
from the terminal. this gave me an error oflibgnome-keyring.so.0: cannot open shared object file
so I fixed it by installing the libraries withsudo apt install libgnome-keyring-common libgnome-keyring-dev
. Unfortunately I don't have the required reputation to post an answer on this question.
