Call for testing: gitkraken

I think it can not access without snap being classic.

So back in the day when I added change to copy over ssh environment to snap home dir but that was only working because host os had partial snap confinement.

Yeah, I may just stick with the regular package then to avoid having functionality reduced.

Thank you.

Hi @mmtrt ,
Can you confirm gitkraken is not working with wayland?
Just installed it and it wont start. Tested It on my main power-rig and it fires right up which uses proprietary Nvidia drivers and x11 instead of wayland. Problem is, a lot of big distros ship with wayland, if it’s really the case maybe it’s worth the effort to fix it.
Here is my Thread about it: Threadlink .
A fix would be really appreciated! It’s an awesome Tool!!!
Greetings!

it should actually set:

app:
  command: ....
  environment:
    DISABLE_WAYLAND: 1

in its snapcraft.yaml to make sure it falls back to XWayland

The gitkraken snap is owned by upstream now. Therefore @mmtrt isn’t the right person to ask for support. See the gitkraken support link in the snap information:

@lucyllewy Problem is they don’t answer to non “pro” users :confused: sad. But thanks for information!!

This was the support answer:

@ogra I don’t have knowledge about snap creating but that should set that the snap tells the environment not to use wayland right?

exactly … you can propose it as a fix to the guys …
