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?
