Hi
I can’t login into Postman Desktop (Postman v9.31.30) on Ubuntu.
-
Logout of postman.com website (just in case there was any issues with multi-sign in)
-
Install a fresh copy of Postman
-
Open the app (I’m confronted with a blank Postman profile and an option to sign-in
-
Click Signin button and a new window with a spinning solar-system loading graphic shows. Waiting there for more than 15 minutes I have no option but to click the “Skip and take me to Postman Desktop App” where I can only see the blank unlogged profile with the Signin button.
-
Logging back into the website and repeating these steps did not work either as I also thought that perhaps it would help to be logged in on the website too.
- I’ve completely uninstalled and reinstalled dozens of times by this point trying to get it to login.
- Whether I’m using a VPN or not makes no difference (tried both)
- Also tried multiple reboots.
- All OS updates are applied no other sign-in issues across other apps.
Interesting, when I download and install on my Windows PC (not installed it there before so completely fresh first time install) I see the same screen with the spinning solar system except that there is now a weird horrible overlay asking to verify me as human (tick some box). I’ve not see this appear on Ubuntu so perhaps this is unsupported/not correctly implemented and the cause of the issue of why it is hanging on this screen.
Update: seems to be related to this “human authorisation” checkpoint. Someone else confirmed that this pops up on PopOS and allows them to sign-in but my environment just does not show this check and hangs. I’m not sure if there’s a missing package but I’ve got no way of knowing what dependency I need to install manually either (something I thought would happen when the app was installed)
