Unable to add IPFS command line tools

[TriMoon]

When i click the checkbox in the desktop-UI labeled "IPFS command line tools", i get a popup asking for authentication from PolicyKit to run /usr/bin/env.
When i enter the correct password, a second popup gets displayed:

My account is part of the sudo group, and root has a password set...

@TriMoon hello! Sorry for that! Could you let me know which version of IPFS Desktop you're using? Please try the newest beta version: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop/releases/tag/v0.9.0-beta.2

[TriMoon]

Using: ipfs-desktop-0.8.0-linux-x86_64.AppImage

• ipfs-desktop: 0.8.0
• go-ipfs: 0.4.21

ill try ipfs-desktop-0.9.0-beta.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage soon...

Edit 1

When i try to run ipfs-desktop-0.9.0-beta.2-linux-x86_64.AppImage, i get

I will try to remove left-overs and try again.

• rm -f ~/.local/share/{applications,icons/**}/*ipfs*
• rm -fR ~/.config/IPFS\ Desktop
• Now i get:

Edit 2

I forgot to do

• `rm -fR ~/.ipfs
  But results stay same...

Seems #727 needs more work...
Ping #951 to notice this log...

[hacdias]

Okay, I now see you're using Ubuntu. Can I ask you something? Try using the .deb package and not .AppImage to see if it works.

[hacdias]

Could you please try with the latest release?

Since I've got no reply, I will close this. Feel free to open a new issue or reopen this one!
