Does not show the GUI on Ubuntu Trusty about desktop HOT 8 CLOSED

@oktonion thanks for the report!

GUI is not shown or is empty window

If you're seeing a white window but the main menu is still rendered the View | Toggle Developer Tools might be accessible - the Console tab might have some clues about the underlying error.

I used one of the first versions like 1.0.something and it worked like charm.

If you're able to figure out a known good version this will help trace back to which Electron version was working for you previously. We're on Electron 1.8.3 currently and the Electron binaries are built against Ubuntu 12.04 so it's likely something in the app that I haven't come across yet rather than an upstream breaking change.

IDK where are logs for Ubuntu

See if this folder exists on disk:

$ ls ~/.config/GitHub\ Desktop/logs/

Developer console output after a second launch:

@oktonion thanks, this is the same as #29 - please follow along with that issue

@shiftkey I see that you closed issue #29 so I tried latest RC.
The issue is still there for me. When I try to run ver.1.3.2 release from terminal it still shows empty window. Then I tried to run it with sudo and that is what I've got:

Idk if I'm doing something wrong or the bug is still there so, please, could you clarify this problem?

from desktop.

@oktonion this should be resolved with the 1.3.3 update that I'm publishing today. Feel free to comment on #29 if you still spot something unexpected after that.

from desktop.

@shiftkey oh, so the problem is that I am the impatient one. =)
Thank you for the info anyway.

from desktop.

@oktonion the update is now available: https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop/releases/tag/release-1.3.3

from desktop.

@shiftkey that's perfect!
