When gitkraken starts up for the first time, and you want to "Login with github" via the UI, gitkraken attempts start up a browser and will fail. This happens because there is no properly configured default browser.
Do this:
- Goto Applications->Settings->PreferredApplications and set the default browser to Firefox (it should already be installed)
- Click the globe at the bottom of the screen to ensure Firefox can start
- If it doesn't stay up, fix things so that it can. Gitkraken needs that browser to allow you to authenticate.
Startup gitkraken again and it will be able to start a browser so you can login to github.
NOTE: eventually, Firefox will crash but hopefully it will be well after you successfully authenticated.
